Living Things Quotes (page 21)

George Orwell quote: " . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in..."
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it. George Orwell
Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country, and I said, 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife. Carolyn Murphy
My father, if anything, first and last, was a man of words. He loved stories; he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not more than, he loved the experiences themselves. Henry Louis Gates
My parents were working in a hospital in Memphis. But I didn't live there for any length of time that I remember. The first thing I remember is the town in Mississippi that I live in now, Charleston. Morgan Freeman
Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that. Billy Sunday
We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself. Rupert Everett
Yes, I'm a patriotic person. For these people who disgrace the American way and burn our flag and do all of these things... I say, don't live here and disgrace my country. Go live in the Middle East and see how you like it. Payne Stewart
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing..."
We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. Robert Louis Stevenson
Because we build the worlds we wouldn't mind living in. They contain scary things, problems, but also a sense of rightness that makes them alive and makes us want to live there. Anne McCaffrey
I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously. Laura Hillenbrand
I started in live television and I've done a lot of live TV and that's really the thing that I love best. I love flying by the seat of my pants. Florence Henderson
Tom G. Palmer quote: "It is obvious that different individuals require different..."
It is obvious that different individuals require different things to live good, healthy, and virtuous lives. Tom G. Palmer
If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk, what would you do? You'd live a gigantic, bold, fun, dazzling life. You know you would. That's what the ghosts want us to do - all the exciting things they no longer can. Chuck Palahniuk
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people. Hugh Hefner
We played hard and we partied hard. I'm not ashamed of that. I was no angel - I did some things I shouldn't have done, lived a lifestyle I shouldn't have lived. I had a blast at times; other times, I probably compromised my job, my duty to do my job, to be ready as a professional. David Cone
