Privileged Life Quotes (page 2)

If this book has a lesson, it is that we are awfully lucky to be here-and by 'we' I mean every living thing. To attain any kind of life in this universe of ours appears to be quite an achievement. As humans we are doubly lucky, of course: We enjoy not only the privilege of existence but also the singular ability to appreciate it and even, in a multitude of ways, to make it better. It is a talent we have only barely begun to grasp. Bill Bryson
A wonderful privilege it was to be thus admitted into the soul of a man of genius, to be allowed to share the ecstasies and the agonies of his inmost life. Upton Sinclair
He had sprung from a rigid Puritan stock, and had been brought up to think much more intently of the duties of this life than of its privileges and pleasures. Henry James
Nobody is fit to rule anybody else. It is not alleged that Mankind is perfect, or that merely through his/her natural goodness (or lack of same) he/she should (or should not) be permitted to rule. Rule as such causes abuse. There are no superpeople nor privileged classes who are above 'imperfect Mankind' and are capable or entitled to rule the rest of us. Submission to slavery means surrender of life. Albert Meltzer
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Stories of magic alone can express my sense that life is not..."
Stories of magic alone can express my sense that life is not only a pleasure but a kind of eccentric privilege. Gilbert K. Chesterton
One learns a good deal in the school of suffering. I wonder what would have happened to me if I had had an easy life, and had not had the privilege of tasting the joys of jail and all it means." ~ Badsha Khan, quote in Nonviolent Soldier of Islam, p. 87 Eknath Easwaran
I found cause to wonder upon what ground the English accuse Americans of corrupting the language by introducing slang words. I think I heard more and more different kinds of slang during my few weeks' stay in London than in my whole "tenderloin" life in New York. But I suppose the English feel that the language is theirs, and that they may do with it as they please without at the same time allowing that privilege to others. James Weldon Johnson
One day Samuel strained his back lifting a bale of hay, and it hurt his feelings more than his back, for he could not imagine a life in which Sam Hamilton was not privileged to lift a bale of hay. He felt insulted by his back, almost as he would have been if one of his children had been dishonest John Steinbeck
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. George Bernard Shaw
Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas. Gunter Grass
Helen Garner quote: "It's a terrific privilege to be able to see into somebody..."
It's a terrific privilege to be able to see into somebody else's life. Helen Garner
Enya quote: "I am privileged to do a job I love to do. I would never change..."

William Hurt quote: "I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same..."
I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go. William Hurt
It is better to lose everything you have to keep the balance of justice level, than to live a life of petty privilege devoid of true freedom. Bryant H. McGill
