My Life Quotes (page 80)

Speaking the words he had been taught, directing them no longer upward but to the earth on which he knelt, he prayed: 'For what we are about to receive make us truly thankful.' ... he... felt his heart suddenly flow over with thankfulness... like a gush of warm water... All that remains is to live here quietly for the rest of my life, eating food that my own labour has made the earth to yield. All that remains is to be a tender of the soil. J. M. Coetzee
Emilie Autumn quote: "Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide..."
Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide. Emilie Autumn
You once said to me that I talk like a man in a book. I not only talk, but think and feel like one. I have spent my life in books; literature has deeply dyed my brain its own colour. This literary colouring is a protective one--like the brown of the rabbit or the checks of the quail--making it impossible for me to tell where literature ends and I begin. Nathanael West
Edgar Rice Burroughs quote: "If I had followed my better judgment always, my life would..."
If I had followed my better judgment always, my life would have been a very dull one. Edgar Rice Burroughs
Charles Dickens quote: "New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all..."
New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colours of my life were changing. Charles Dickens
time confined into blind caves or extended through tunnels, responds to the call of infinity, which teases with its promise of freedom. outside the body, time is a pair of compasses in the hands of eternity, but inside it is a pendulum, fastened to the heart. the heart takes its measure from the lengthening swing of the pendulum surveying what time is left. in its own rhythm time spreads itself wildly here and there and is crippled elsewhere. its unequally distributed weight wounds my body -... Andy Goldsworthy
9p. m. My flat. Feel very strange and empty. Is all very well thinking everything is going to be different when you come back but then it is all the same. Suppose I have to make it different. But what am I going to do with my life? I know. Will eat some cheese. Helen Fielding
But if I decide to decide there’s a different, less selfish, less lonely point to my life, won’t the reason for this decision be my desire to be less lonely, meaning to suffer less overall pain? Can the decision to be less selfish ever be anything other than a selfish decision? David Foster Wallace
Michael J. Fox quote: "Ironic that in order to do my life's work, I had to quit my..."
Ironic that in order to do my life's work, I had to quit my day job. Michael J. Fox
I love you, Allie. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. And, my darling, you will always be mine. Nicholas Sparks
And in thy best consideration check. This hideous rashness. Answer my life my judgement. Thy youngest daughter does not love thee least, Nor are those empty-hearted whose low sounds. Reverb no hollowness. William Shakespeare
People think about who they are in the stillest hour of the night. I carry this thought, the child'smystery and terror of this thought, I feel this immensity in my soul every second of my life. Don DeLillo
The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing? to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from? my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back. C. S. Lewis
When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill. It was good to be old, no matter what they said. It was reasonable that a man had to be at least 50 years old before he could write with anything like clarity. Charles Bukowski
