Longer Life Quotes

Parrots, tortoises and redwoods live a longer life than men do; Men a longer life than dogs do; Dogs a longer life than love does. Edna St. Vincent Millay
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves. Julian Barnes
I believe that life should be lived so vividly and so intensely that thoughts of another life, or of a longer life, are not necessary. Marjory Stoneman Douglas
It would be real nice to have some kind of bell or whistle attached to this film - it would give it a longer life. People seem to need that validation to go to a film these days. David Strathairn
Is it possible to covet a much longer life for one's self and be as devoted to the well-being of the next generation? It's a long argument. Leon Kass
Life will be wonderful when men no longer fear dying. When the last superstitions are thrown out and we meet death with the same equanimity as life. No longer will children's minds be twisted by evil gods whose fantastic origin is in those barbaric tribes who feared death and lightning, who feared life. That's it: life is the villain to to those who preach reward in death, through grace and eternal bliss, or through dark revenge. Gore Vidal
Life is about growth and change. When you are no longer doing that? that is your whisper; that is your whisper that you are supposed to do something else. Oprah Winfrey
Jim Davis quote: "Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but..."
Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay, the more wrinkled you get. Jim Davis
Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. Voltaire
Charles de Secondat quote: "Life was given to me as a favor, so I may abandon it when it..."
Life was given to me as a favor, so I may abandon it when it is one no longer. Charles de Secondat
It was the ghost of rationality itself ... This is the ghost of normal everyday assumptions which declares that the ultimate purpose of life, which is to keep alive, is impossible, but that this is the ultimate purpose of life anyway, so that great minds struggle to cure diseases so that people may live longer, but only madmen ask why. One lives longer in order that he may live longer. There is no other purpose. That is what the ghost says. Robert M. Pirsig
You'll have a good, secure life when being alive means more to you than security, love more than money, your freedom more than public or partisan opinion, when the mood of Beethoven's or Bach's music becomes the mood of your whole life? when your thinking is in harmony, and no longer in conflict, with your feelings? when you let yourself be guided by the thoughts of great sages and no longer by the crimes of great warriors? when you pay the men and women who teach your children better than... Wilhelm Reich
Once we truly know that life is difficult? once we truly understand and accept it? then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters? -'The Road Less Traveled M. Scott Peck
What is the sign of every literary decadence? That life no longer dwells in the whole. The word becomes sovereign and leaps out of the sentence, the sentence reaches out and obscures the meaning of the page, the page gains life at the expense of the whole—the whole is no longer a whole. Friedrich Nietzsche
People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they'll go to any length to live longer. But don't think that's the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive then in a fog, and I believe running helps you to do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the... Haruki Murakami
