Lived Quotes

Don’t put down too many roots in terms of a domicile. I have lived in four countries and I think my life as a writer and our family’s life have been enriched by this. I think a writer has to experience new environments. There is that adage: No man can really succeed if he doesn’t move away from where he was born. I believe it is particularly true for the writer Picture Quote #1

Be still my tongue, for I know not what to say; My life is lived in darkness and here I will remain Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I had no idea that the heart could cause such trouble and strife. It could be broken and still mend. It could be wounded and still heal. It could be given away still returned, lost and found. It could do all that and still you lived, though according to some, only just Picture Quote #1

There’s a slope down toward evil, a gentle gradient that can be ignored at each step, unfelt. It’s not until you look back, see the distant heights where you once lived, that you understand your journey Picture Quote #1

I mean, we have to read books or we’ll make mistakes. If we read stories of how other people lived, we can figure out better ways to live. I mean we can look at other people’s lives and not make the same mistakes they made. Or we can, like, use their examples as models for ourselves Picture Quote #1

I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible Picture Quote #1

Kindness is not an illusion and violence is not a rule. The true resting state of human affairs is not represented by a man hacking his neighbor into pieces with a machete. That is a sick aberration. No, the true state of human affairs is life as it ought to be lived Picture Quote #1

If there is any good in life, in history, in my own past, I invoke it now. I invoke it with all the passion with which I have lived Picture Quote #1

Very few people know the real meaning of friendship. More often than not, there is too much emphasis on sentiment, and too little on action. Metta is something that must be lived Picture Quote #1

It is always the same with mountains. Once you have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to them. There is no escape Picture Quote #1

Every candidate is going to come to you and say they are the most conservative person that ever lived Picture Quote #1

You may only get this one life – but lived free of submissive reverence – that is still a thing of rampant beauty Picture Quote #1

We must live as we think, otherwise we shall end up by thinking as we have lived Picture Quote #1

I have lived to see that being seventeen is no protection against becoming seventy, but to know this needs the experience of a lifetime, for no imagination copes with it Picture Quote #1

Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women Picture Quote #1

What is it that makes all of us end each day with the sense that we have not lived our time, but have been lived, used by what we do? Picture Quote #1

Though it might be nice to imagine there once was a time when man lived in harmony with nature, it’s not clear that he ever really did Picture Quote #1

I used to think... that I had to be careful with how much I lived. As if life was a pocketful of coins. You only got so much and you didn’t want to spend it all in one place... But now I know that life is the one thing in the world that never runs out. I might run out of mine, and you might run out of yours, but the world will never run out of life. And we’re all very lucky to be part of something like that Picture Quote #1

For so long I have lived on the edge of an invisible world. Sometimes I feel like the scattered debris left over after the personality has fallen out of the sky Picture Quote #1

Generations of human beings were transformed into machines in the relentless pursuit of material wealth: We lived to work Picture Quote #1

If I am only sure of one thing in life, it’s that it’s meant to be lived! Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to hear that people lived happily ever after. I wanted to know that other people suffered, too Picture Quote #1

For me words still possess their primitive, mystical, incantatory powers. I am inclined to use them as part of an attempt to make my own reality more real for others, as part of an effort to transcend emotional danger. For me, words are a form of action, capable of influencing change. Their articulation represents a complete, lived experience Picture Quote #1

Where are the one billion people who lived and breathed in the year 1800, only two short centuries ago? Picture Quote #1

Anxiety is the experience of growth itself. In any endeavor, how do you feel when you go from one stage to the next? The answer: You feel anxious. Anxiety that is denied makes us ill; anxiety that is fully confronted and fully lived through converts itself into joy, security, strength, centeredness, and character. The practical formula: Go where the pain is Picture Quote #1

A life that is planned is a closed life, my friend. It can be endured but it cannot be lived Picture Quote #1

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I’m going, or when I’ve lived in a place so long that there’s no chance I could possibly get lost Picture Quote #1

Perhaps we clutch at life only when we have never lived or trusted it. Then death seems the last and greatest defeat, the end of something never felt Picture Quote #1

Life is not something to be lived through: it is something to be lived up to. It is a privilege, not a penal servitude of so many decades on earth Picture Quote #1

Plato described ordinary life as unthinking, lived in a dim cave of shadowy reflections, but said that it is possible to leave the cave and see things in sunlit clarity as they actually are Picture Quote #1
