Lives Quotes (page 522)

Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily... Paulo Coelho
Dean Koontz quote: "In memory, she lived and moved and laughed, but all that a..."
In memory, she lived and moved and laughed, but all that a photograph could offer was one frozen moment of a life. Dean Koontz
Gustave Flaubert quote: "Writing is a dog’s life, but the only one worth living."

Elie Wiesel quote: "Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what..."
Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what you alone can write. Elie Wiesel
To live greatly, we must develop the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and triumph with humility. Thomas S. Monson
The beauty of this idea is that my decision to keep Peeta alive at the expense of my own life is itself an act of defiance. A refusal to play the Hunger Games by the Capitol's rules. My private agenda dovetails completely with my public one. And if I really could save Peeta... in terms of a revolution, this would be ideal. Because I will be more valuable dead. They can turn me into some kind of martyr for the cause and paint my face on banners, and it will do more to rally people than... Suzanne Collins
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure. Theodore Roosevelt
She looked so beautiful in the moonlight, but it wasn't only the way she looked, it was what was inside her, everything from her intelligence and courage to her wit, and the special smile she gave only to him. He would slay a dragon, if there were such a thing, just to see that smile. He knew he would never want anyone else for as long as he lived. He would rather spend the rest of his life alone than with someone else. There could be no one else. Terry Goodkind
Langston Hughes quote: "So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I..."
So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could have died for love--But for livin' I was born. Langston Hughes
David Sedaris quote: "I'm the most important person in the lives of almost everyone..."
I'm the most important person in the lives of almost everyone I know and a good number of the people I've never even met. David Sedaris
If I must go to heaven's end. Climbing the ages like a stair. Be near me and forever bend. With the same eyes above me there; Time will fly past us like leaves flying, We shall not heed, for we shall be. Beyond living, beyond dying, Knowing and known unchangeably. Sara Teasdale
Horror would not annoy a soldier any more than the sight of a hammer annoys a carpenter. It is sentimental to pretend that horror is not the tool of the soldier, just as the hammer is the tool of the carpenter. We live off death and the threat of death and we must take it calmly and use it well.... Eventually I came to enjoy killing, as a pianist enjoys the Czerny which keeps his fingers limber for the Beethoven. Irwin Shaw
Joseph Heller quote: "He ha decided to live forever or die in the attempt."
He ha decided to live forever or die in the attempt. Joseph Heller
Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives. Neil Gaiman
The TCBS had been granted some spark of fire - certainly as a body if not singly - that was destined to kindle a new light, or, what is the same thing, rekindle an old light in the world; that the TCBS was destined to testify for God and Truth in a more direct way even than by laying down its several lives in this war. J. R. R. Tolkien
