Lives Quotes (page 528)

Remind me again what's wrong with Dave Matthews?"Basically everything, except technical proficiency," Walter said."Right."But maybe especially the banality of the lyrics. 'Gotta be free, so free, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't live without my freedom, yeah yeah.' That's pretty much every song. Jonathan Franzen
THE ROSE OF THE WORLD WHO dreamed that beauty passes like a dream? For these red lips, with all their mournful pride, Mournful that no new wonder may betide, Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam, And Usna’s children died. We and the labouring world are passing by: Amid men’s souls, that waver and give place Like the pale waters in their wintry race, Under the passing stars, foam of the sky, Lives on this lonely face. Bow down, archangels, in your dim abode: Before you were, or any... William Butler Yeats
You see spirits who talk to you in broad daylight, at night you see perfectly shaped, perfectly distinct phantoms, you think you remember having lived in other forms, you imagine you are growing very tall and that your head is touching the stars, the horizon of Saturn and Jupiter spreads before your eyes, bizarre creatures appear before you with all the characteristics of real beings . . . If the mind has to become completely unhinged in order to place us in communication with another world,... Gerard De Nerval

Tears were dripping onto my dress, but I wasn't making any sound. There was no sound to express thid kind of pain. I didn't want to move, didn't want to do anything. Fang was not waiting for me out in the living room. Tomorrow morning, when I woke up, Fang would still be gone. James Patterson

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live Ayn Rand
Jack Kerouac quote: "So I rushed past the pretty girls, and the prettiest girls in..."
So I rushed past the pretty girls, and the prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines. Jack Kerouac
So this is the way we live now: conditioned by the awareness that no North Korean provocation, however egregious, can be confronted, lest it furnish the occasion or pretext for something truly barbarous and insane. Christopher Hitchens
I think there is only one form of greatness for man. If a man can bridge the gap between life and death. I mean, if he can live on after he has died, then maybe he was a great man. To me the only success, the only greatness, is immortality. James Dean
Craig Ferguson quote: "I had lived in fear of the fabled terrifying visions that..."

Zora Neale Hurston quote: "The spirit of the marriage left the bedroom and took to living..."
The spirit of the marriage left the bedroom and took to living in the parlor. Zora Neale Hurston
TYRONE[Stares at him -- impressed.]Yes, there's the makings of a poet in you all right.[Then protesting uneasily]But that's morbid craziness about not being wanted and loving death. EDMUND[Sardonically]The makings of a poet. No, I'm afraid I'm like the guy who is always panhandling for a smoke. He hasn't even got the makings. He's got only the habit. I couldn't touch what I tried to tell you just now. I just stammered. That's the best I'll ever do, I mean, if I live. Well, it will be faithful... Eugene O'Neill
If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream. Oscar Wilde
No ability, no strength and force, no power of intellect or power of wealth, shall avail us, if we have not the root of right living in us. Theodore Roosevelt
