Coping Quotes

We all have that moment in life when something terrible happens for the first time. Something so unexpected, so awful, that it takes the magic out of the world. Life becomes harder, colder. And everything we do in our lives, from that day on, is our way of coping with that one moment. We stop living and we merely exist. We either choose to move on from that, or we let it consume us Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had a quirky way of looking at things. It’s my coping mechanism Picture Quote #1

Aging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves Picture Quote #1

In a world where survival is always seen as a struggle, and in which some pitfalls always exist, if something brings into question our confidence in our own coping ability, it will threaten our safety Picture Quote #1

In 1960 I published a book that attempted to direct attention to the possibility of a thermonuclear war, to ways of reducing the likelihood of such a war, and to methods for coping with the consequences should war occur despite our efforts to avoid it Picture Quote #1

Think first of the action that is right to take, think later about coping with one’s fears Picture Quote #1

As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews Picture Quote #1

You may not know it but I’m no good at coping with all the attention in the luxury hotels I sometimes find myself in Picture Quote #1

Popular religion is a coping mechanism for the anxieties of a dysfunctional social and economic environment Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do drugs. It wasn’t my thing. But the drink was terrible. Today when I look back, it’s like I was another person. You could call it a coping mechanism, but that would be an excuse. I just drank too much Picture Quote #1

I’m not particularly good at coping with it. I just cope. I just leave my brain at the door and just stand there. I can get the screaming more than I get the photo things. That’s the worst, when you have this wall of photographers. I’ve never understood the logic in how they do it. Everybody shouts at the same time, and you’re trying to do a logical thing, looking from the left to the right. And they almost always end up looking disappointed with you afterwards Picture Quote #1

One of life’s best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire – then you’ve got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference Picture Quote #1

I complain a lot. That's one way of coping. But I'm in a profession where nobody tells you to quit. No board of other partners tells you it's time to get your gold watch, and no physical claim is made on you like an athlete or an actress. So I try to plug along on the theory that I can still do it. I still keep trying to produce prose, and some poetry, in the hope that I can find something to say about being alive, this country, but generally the human condition Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I just think depression’s one way of coping with the world. Like, some people get drunk, some people do drugs, some people get depressed. Because there’s so much stuff out there that you have to do something to deal with it Picture Quote #1

Me with nothing left to lose, plotting my big revenge in the spotlight. Give me violent revenge fantasies as a coping mechanism Picture Quote #1

Give me lust, baby. Flash. Give me malice. Flash. Give me detached existentialist ennui. Flash. Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism. Flash Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you can learn, even from a bad experience. By coping you become stronger. The pain does not go away, but it becomes manageable Picture Quote #1

I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial Picture Quote #1

Food is a coping mechanism; people are afraid of giving it up because then they’ll feel confused and lost Picture Quote #1

The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone Picture Quote #1

There’s always the question of what is good and evil and the gray area in between where that most people live. In everyday life, things aren’t black or white, but rather there’s a lot of coping and really tough decision making Picture Quote #1

Humor helps us get through life with a modicum of grace. It offers one of the few benign ways of coping with the absurdity of it all Picture Quote #1

Leaving things behind and starting again is a way of coping with difficulties. I learnt very early in my life that I was able to leave a place and still remain myself Picture Quote #1

Myth, legend, and ritual... function to maintain a status quo. That makes them singularly bad in coping with change, indeed counterproductive, for change is the enemy of myth Picture Quote #1
