Lives Quotes (page 327)

I do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and I do not live in chronic dread of disaster. It is no happiness, but suffering that I consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that I regard as the abnormal exception in Human Life. Ayn Rand
Haruki Murakami quote: "I was dying. Like all the other people who live in this world."
I was dying. Like all the other people who live in this world. Haruki Murakami
Shirley Jackson quote: "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under..."
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. Shirley Jackson
...in the course of our lives, the evil which in itself we seek most to shun, and which, when we are fallen into, is the most dreadful to us, is oftentimes the very means or door of our deliverance, by which alone we can be raised again from the affliction we are fallen into... Daniel Defoe
We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does. Jane Austen
A 'civilization' that makes such a ridiculous fuss about alleged 'war crimes' - acts of violence against the actual or potential enemies of one's cause - and tolerates slaughterhouses and vivisection laboratories, and circuses and the fur industry (infliction of pain upon creatures that can never be for or against any cause), does not deserve to live. Savitri Devi
Death! Strange that there should be such a word, and such a thing, and we ever forget it; that one should be living, warm and beautiful, full of hopes, desires and wants, one day, and the next be gone, utterly gone, and forever! Harriet Beecher Stowe
William Shakespeare quote: "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft..."
The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. William Shakespeare
Other than along certain emotional tangents there was little in the book that felt as if it had actually been lived. It was a fiction produced by someone who knew only fictions, The Tempest as written by isolate Miranda, raised on the romances in her father's library. Michael Chabon
There are no conditions to which a person cannot grow accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way. Leo Tolstoy
Emilie Autumn quote: "My reasons to live. Were my reasons to die. But at least they..."
My reasons to live. Were my reasons to die. But at least they were mine. Now I've freedom unbound. Cut the laces of life Emilie Autumn
Elbert Hubbard quote: "The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live."
The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live. Elbert Hubbard
Normally, in anything I do, I'm fairly miserable. I do it, and I get grumpy because there is a huge, vast gulf, this aching disparity, between the platonic ideal of the project that was living in my head, and the small, sad, wizened, shaking, squeaking thing that I actually produce. Neil Gaiman
Kazuo Ishiguro quote: "It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so..."
It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. Kazuo Ishiguro
Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
