In Life’s name and for Life’s sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so—till Universe’s end. I will look... Diane Duane
I congratulate you and my country on the singular favor of heaven in the peaceable and auspicious settlement of our government upon a Constitution formed by wisdom, and sanctified by the solemn choice of the people who are to live under it. May the Supreme ruler of the world be pleased to establish and perpetuate these new foundations of liberty and glory....Thank God, my country is saved and by the smile of Heaven I am a free and independant man.

We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes--or rather, we've seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are televiewers, telehearers, teleknowers. Max Frisch
How could people, I wondered for the ten thousandth useless time, how could people who had loved so dearly come to such a wilderness; and yet the change in us was irreversible, and neither of us would even search for a way back. It was impossible. The fire was out. Only a few live coals lurked in the ashes, searing unexpectedly at the incautious touch. Dick Francis
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "You live by what you thrill to, and there's the end of it."
You live by what you thrill to, and there's the end of it. David Herbert Lawrence
I'm not sure what we're running from. Nobody. Or the future. Fate. Growing up. Getting old. Picking up the pieces. As if running we won't have to get on with our lives. Chuck Palahniuk
Joel Osteen quote: "We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living..."
We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside. Joel Osteen
Truman Capote quote: "It’s better to look at the sky than live there"
It’s better to look at the sky than live there Truman Capote
Divinity must live within herself: Passions of rain, or moods in the falling snow; Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued. Elations when the forest blooms; gusty. Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; All pleasures and all pains, remembering. The boughs of summer and the winter branch. These are the measures destined for her soul. Wallace Stevens
Bernard Malamud quote: "Nobody lived in Eden anymore."
Nobody lived in Eden anymore. Bernard Malamud
If what Billy Pilgrim learned from the Tralfamadorians is true, that we will all live forever, no matter how dead we may sometimes seem to be, I am not overjoyed. Still--if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I'm grateful that so many of those moments are nice. Kurt Vonnegut
The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible in-between. But there is still time to seize that one last fragile moment. J. Michael Straczynski
