Lives Quotes (page 150)

...and when the land kills of its own volition, we acquiesce and say the victim had no right to live. We are wrong, of course, but it doesn't matter. It's too late. Toni Morrison
So we came to understand that small and important thing, that our lives could be large with interesting strangers who would pass us without any personal involvement. Michael Ondaatje
Everyone pretends to be normal and be your best friend, but underneath, everyone is living some other life you don't know about, and if only we had a camera on us at all times, we could go and watch each other's tapes and find out what each of us was really like. James Franco
The incessant anxiety and strain of some is a well-nigh incurable form of disease. We are made to exaggerate the importance of what work we do...How vigilant we are! determined not live by faith if we can avoid it; all the day long on the alert, at night we unwillingly say our prayers and commit ourselves to uncertainties. Henry David Thoreau
Andre Gide quote: "Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you..."
Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life. Andre Gide

At College, you know, we just started automatically writing the kind of essays that got good marks and saying the kind of things that won applause. When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? When did we put up... C. S. Lewis
A man doesn't say I will starve myself to death to keep from starving, or that he'd spend all of his money to save money. Why should he be willing to die for the privilege of living? Dalton Trumbo
I know that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever. Nicholas Sparks
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "People have three lives: the public life, the private life and..."
People have three lives: the public life, the private life and the secret life... Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Thought Experiment: You are a native of New York City, you live in New York, work in New York, travel about the city with no particular emotion except a mild boredom, unease, exasperation, and dislike especially for, say, Times Square and Brooklyn, and a longing for a Connecticut farmhouse. Later you become an astronaut and wander in space for years. You land on a strange, unexplored (you think) planet. There you find a road sign with an arrow, erected by a previous astronaut in the manner of... Walker Percy
The Red God takes what is his, lovely girl. And only death may pay for life. You saved me and the two I was with. You stole three deaths from the Red God. We have to give them back. Speak three names and the man will do the rest. Three lives I will give you - no more, no less, and we're done. George R. R. Martin
...if we were to name the most powerful assumption of all, which leads one on and on in an attempt to understand life, it is that all things are made of atoms, and that everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jigglings and wigglings of atoms. Richard P. Feynman
Because we live in a largely free society, we tend to forget how limited is the span of time and the part of the globe for which there has ever been anything like political freedom: the typical state of mankind is tyranny, servitude, and misery. The nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the Western world stand out as striking exceptions to the general trend of historical development. Political freedom in this instance clearly came along with the free market and the development of... Milton Friedman
Frank Herbert quote: "The past may show the right way to behave if you live in the..."
The past may show the right way to behave if you live in the past, Stil, but circumstances change. Frank Herbert
Terry Prachett quote: "what are you doing here?" he asked."I live here..." I answered..."
what are you doing here?" he asked."I live here..." I answered sarcastically. Terry Prachett
