Lives Quotes (page 515)

Though we may not be able to see His purpose or His plan, the Lord of heaven is on His throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives. Max Lucado
We don't want to lose you Lord Rahl. We don't want to go back to way things were." She sounded on the verge of tears. "We like being able to do simple things, like make a joke, and laugh. We could never do such things before. We always lived in fear that if we said the wrong thing we would be beaten, or worse. Now that we have seen another way, we don't want to go back to that. If you throw your life away for the Midlands, then we will.- Cara Terry Goodkind
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, that children understand; their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the water of their lives. Paulo Coelho
Yet I pity the poor wretch, though he's my enemy. He's yoked to an evil delusion, but the same fate could be mine. I see clearly: we who live are all phantoms, fleeing shadows. Sophocles
W. G. Sebald quote: "We take almost all the decisive steps in our lives as a result..."
We take almost all the decisive steps in our lives as a result of slight inner adjustments of which we are barely conscious. W. G. Sebald
Tom Waits quote: "bringing up children was]like living with a bunch of..."
bringing up children was]like living with a bunch of drunks...you really have to be on your toes all the time. Tom Waits
If he was right, here was our quiet English house suddenly invaded by a devilish Indian Diamond - bringing after it a conspiracy of living rogues, set loose on us by the vengeance of a dead man". Wilkie Collins
It requires but a very small glance of thought to perceive, that although laws made in one generation often continue in force through succeeding generations, yet that they continue to derive their force from the consent of the living. A law not repealed continues in force, not because it cannot be repealed, but because it is not repealed; and the non repealing passes for consent. Thomas Paine
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "I see the strongest and the smartest men who have ever..."
I see the strongest and the smartest men who have ever lived... and these men are pumping gas and waiting tables. Chuck Palahniuk
Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true. Thomas Merton
We are never done with conscience. Choose your course by it, Brutus; Choose your course by it, Cato. It is bottomless, being God. We cast in to this pit the labor of our whole lives, we cast in our liberty or our country, we cast in our well-being, we cast in our repose, we cast in our happiness. More! more! more! Empty the vase! turn out the urn! We must at last cast in our heart. Victor Hugo
The absurd man will not commit suicide; he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the “divine irresponsibility” of the condemned man. Jean-Paul Sartre
I am ashamed every day, and more ashamed the next. But I will spend the rest of my life in this living space writing these notes, this journal, recording my acts and reflections, finding some honor, some worth at the bottom of things. I want ten thousand pages that will stop the world. Don DeLillo
O momentary grace of mortal men, Which we more hunt for than the grace of God! Who builds his hopes in air of your good looks, Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ready, with every nod, to tumble down. Into the fatal bowels of the deep. William Shakespeare
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "but they were frightened at his survivant will, once a will to..."
but they were frightened at his survivant will, once a will to live, now become a will to die. F. Scott Fitzgerald
