Our Lives Quotes (page 47)

Paulo Coelho quote: "Tragedy always brings about radical change in our lives, a..."
Tragedy always brings about radical change in our lives, a change that is associated with the same principle: loss. Paulo Coelho
It'd be a good setting to jump overboard,' said Dick mildly. 'Wouldn't it?' agreed Nicole hastily. 'Let's borrow life-preservers and jump over. I think we should do something spectacular. I feel that all our lives have been too restrained. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Mark Strand quote: "We are resing the story of our lives. As though we were in it...."
We are resing the story of our lives. As though we were in it. As though we had written it. Mark Strand
If you know you have to wait anyway, why not make a decision to enjoy your life while you’re waiting? Why not be happy while God is in the process of changing things? After all, there’s nothing we can really do to make it happen any faster. We might as well relax and enjoy our lives, knowing that at the appointed time God is going to bring his plan to pass. Joel Osteen
Anxiety and fear produce energy. Where we focus that energy noticeably affects the quality of our lives: focus on the solution, not the problem. Walter Anderson
Everything is biographical, Lucian Freud says. What we make, why it is made, how we draw a dog, who it is we are drawn to, why we cannot forget. Everything is collage, even genetics. There is the hidden presence of others in us, even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our lives, at every border we cross. Michael Ondaatje
For example, the wind has its reasons. We just don't notice as we go about our lives. But then, at some point, we are made to notice. The wind envelops you with a certain purpose in mind, and it rocks you. The wind knows everything that's inside you. And not just the wind. Everything, including a stone. They all know us very well. From top to bottom. It only occurs to us at certain times. And all we can do is go with those things. As we take them in, we survive, and deepen. Haruki Murakami
We prefer to go deformed and distorted all our lives rather than not resemble the portrait of ourselves which we ourselves have first drawn. It’s absurd. We run the risk of warping what’s best in us Andre Gide
When we mourn those who die young? those who have been robbed of time? we weep for lost joys. We weep for opportunities and pleasure we ourselves have never known. We feel sure that somehow that young body would have known the yearning delight for which we searched in vain all our lives. We believe that the untried soul, trapped in its young prison, might have flown free and known the joy that we still seek. Josephine Hart
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "and what sunshine are you going to bring into our lives today?..."
and what sunshine are you going to bring into our lives today? Shall we poison the well or burn the house down? Kurt Vonnegut
She held in her hands for one brief moment the globe which we spend our lives in trying to shape, round, whole, and entire from the confusion of chaos. Virginia Woolf
Rose Wilder Lane quote: "Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors..."
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't remember leaving open. Rose Wilder Lane
Elizabeth Smart quote: "The long days seduce all thought away, and we lie like the..."
The long days seduce all thought away, and we lie like the lizards in the sun, postponing our lives indefinitely. Elizabeth Smart
Eudora Welty quote: "The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in..."
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order. Eudora Welty
I believe we must do things in our lives for the right reasons, because we enjoy doing them, with no expectation of getting something back in return. Otherwise, we are constantly being disappointed." She moved her turquoise bracelet back and forth on her wrist. "So I had two sons, John and Richard, because I wanted to, not because I thought they would rescue me in old age. I got out of all social organizations and clubs in my fifties so I could spend time with my grandchildren, not... Terry Tempest Williams
