we’re allowed to make a lot of mistakes in our lives, except the mistake that destroy us Paulo Coelho
There's the life and there's the consumer event. Everything around us tends to channel our lives toward some final reality in print or on film. Two lovers quarrel in the back of a taxi and a question becomes implicit in the event. Who will write the book and who will play the lovers in the movie? Everything seeks its own heightened version. Don DeLillo
We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives. William Hazlitt
There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, that God expects us to do something with our lives, and that He will give us help when help is sought. Gordon B. Hinckley
Alain de Botton quote: "It is perhaps when our lives are at their most problematic..."
It is perhaps when our lives are at their most problematic that we are likely to be most receptive to beautiful things. Alain de Botton
We are, perhaps uniquely among the earth’s creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take the idea of dying, unable to sit still. Lewis Thomas
I always thought we only had two choices in our lives when it came to pizza crust—thin and crispy, or thick and doughy. How was I to have known there could be a crust in this world that was thin and doughy? Holy of holies! Thin, doughy, strong, gummy, yummy, chewy, salty pizza paradise. Elizabeth Gilbert
Are not half our lives spent in reproaches for foregone actions, of the true nature and consequences of which we were wholly ignorant at the time? Herman Melville
Every reaction is a learning process; every significant experience alters your perspective. So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle everyday? How could we ever hope to accomplish anything anther than galloping neurosis? Hunter S. Thompson
Paulo Coelho quote: "There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we..."
There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason. Paulo Coelho
I think that sometimes the great changes in our lives, the ones that divide time, happen so deep down and silently that we don't even know when they occur......It frequently happens that the seasons of the greatest change are the times that feel the most tranquil, the most suspended, the most...timeless. Anne Rivers Siddons
Werner Erhard quote: "At all times and under all circumstances, we have the power to..."
At all times and under all circumstances, we have the power to transform the quality of our lives. Werner Erhard
Brian Aldiss quote: "Whatever terrific events may inform our lives, it always comes..."
Whatever terrific events may inform our lives, it always comes to that in the end; we just want to lie down. Brian Aldiss
Maybe you’ve invested a lot of time, effort, money, emotion, and energy in a relationship; you did your best to make it work out. But for some reason, things got off course. And now you feel as though you have been robbed. When we focus on or disappointments, we stop God from ringing fresh new blessing into our lives. Joel Osteen
