Text Quotes
I grew up in a broken home, working class. My paternal grandmother raised me and my brother; my father was with us, and my mother lived in Jersey.  (Lived Quotes) He’s my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression... I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent. I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children.  (Lived Quotes) Most of the time, if I’m in a pickle, I’ll call one of my brothers. They’ve usually got somewhat uplifting advice. One is six and a half years older and one is eight years older, so they’ve probably lived through whatever my problem is.  (Lived Quotes) Because of the earlier loss of the two elder siblings, my brother and I lived a very pampered and protected life. Nursemaids kept constant watch. With my parents busy at dinner parties and social events, we only met them as if for a daily royal audience.  (Lived Quotes) Oh, yeah. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960’s. It was very different. I was an only child as opposed to having siblings. My brothers all lived with my step-mom. I am very close to them, but we were not raised in the same house.  (Lived Quotes) A house isn’t really understandable until it settles into the site: until it’s built, furnished and lived in for four or five years. The reality is not on paper but in how a building sits on the land - how it relates to trees, to slopes, to water, to gardens.  (Lived Quotes) I had a lot of successes, but what really made me fearless was my complete failure at Zidd-Davis. Once you’ve lived through that, you know you can survive, and you’re not as scared ... There’s nothing to build confidence like real achievement, but also like real failure.  (Lived Quotes) My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They’ve always been really great; they just want me to be happy.  (Lived Quotes) Even when I lived in Chicago and I didn’t have any family there, I would just go like I would be a guest and have dinner with a bunch of friends and do potluck or something. So I think that’s it, just finding people that you love that love you and hang out with them.  (Lived Quotes) Because I lived so close to the school and walked there every day, I used to enjoy the school bus trips.  (Lived Quotes) I’ve lived all over the world, but Harlem is very special to me, and when I decided to open a restaurant near my home, I didn’t want it to be business as usual.  (Lived Quotes) I thought that making movies was drab. I’d lived through that. And I didn’t want to use my parents, ever... They didn’t want to push me into this business.  (Lived Quotes) A few years ago, I was trying to buy a piece of land next to a house I had in Newfoundland. I discovered that the plot had been owned by a family, and the son had gone off to World War I and been killed. It began to interest me: What would have happened on that land if the son had lived, had brought up his own family there?  (Lived Quotes) I feel so lucky to have lived the life that I did and to be surrounded by the people I love. I’ve got eight kids, and they’re always laughing all the time. It’s like music to my ears. I think that my frame of mind these days is probably happier than I’ve ever been, which is kind of odd, coming close to the finish line.  (Lived Quotes) It’s a very rich brew that’s in your psyche by the time you’re in your 60s, and I think that’s rather interesting. It makes you feel you’ve lived a very long life; it’s like going on holiday to three different cities rather than spending two weeks in Lisbon. You look back on the holiday, and you seem to have been away forever.  (Lived Quotes) You can’t please everyone, especially if you’re doing very radical things at the vanguard of cooking. That’s life; it’s a polemic I’ve lived with since I started cooking.  (Lived Quotes) I know a lot about Canadian politics. I lived in Canadian bars for six years.  (Lived Quotes) While I had cancer, I wrote these twenty-two personal essays about how I lived my life backed by Zen and writing.  (Lived Quotes) On the other hand, if there’s an underlying core of poetry that I go to, I go to the sea. I’ve lived on the sea all my life. I live on the sea in Cape Breton.  (Lived Quotes) I am a communist and a worker, and I have lived in a decadent capitalist society where the workers are slaves.  (Lived Quotes) The truth is, I’m proud of the life I’ve lived so far, and though I’ve made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets.  (Lived Quotes) I come from Toledo, Ohio, a town that has been hurt badly by the shift of the automobile business towards Japan. And yet I remember how the car workers lived in the neighborhood that I grew up in. My father was a car salesman, and I remember how we lived. I remember how modestly we lived.  (Lived Quotes) I’m a total petrolhead. My three brothers and I used to ride scrambling bikes in the field near where we lived. We all liked cars. I’ve always loved the smell of an engine.  (Lived Quotes) I don’t come from a rich family - it’s not like we lived in a cardboard box, but we didn’t have a ton of money.  (Lived Quotes) I’ve always loved dogs and have had one since I was three. We bought her from a kid selling puppies out of a cardboard box on the street where we lived in New York City. Great dog. We named her ‘Marcella’ after a Raggedy Ann character. She grew up with us.  (Lived Quotes) For any of us in this room today, let’s start out by admitting we’re lucky. We don’t live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.  (Lived Quotes) I wish I lived next to Carnegie Hall. Then, if someone asked me how to get to my house, I would just say ‘Practice, practice, practice, and then take a left.’  (Lived Quotes) It doesn’t really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we’re not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.  (Lived Quotes) On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it’s easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there. When they smile - right, you’ve seen people stop - all of a sudden, life is being lived there, somewhere up in that weird, dense network.  (Lived Quotes) On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it’s easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there.  (Lived Quotes)
