My Life Quotes

In me was shaping a yearning for a kind of consciousness, a mode of being that the way of life about me had said could not be, must not be, and upon which the penalty of death had been placed. Somewhere in the dead of the southern night my life had switched onto the wrong track and without my knowing it, the locomotive of my heart was rushing down a dangerously steep slope, heading for a collision, heedless of the warning red lights that blinked all about me, the sirens and the ells and the screams that filled the air Picture Quote #1

... miles away from everthing and everyone I’ve ever known or loved. I feel as if I’ve entered a new era of my life. What strange places our lives carry us to Picture Quote #1

And whatever my life had been up to that day, it was another life after that. And that is the gospel truth Picture Quote #1

I thought about how unlikely it was I would ever meet any guy,fall in love, get married, have babies. Especially since I was going to spend the rest of my life in the cellar, where, in the not too distant future, I’d turn into a toadstool. I hoped I’d be the poisonous variety Picture Quote #1

She was the first woman in my life to convince me to fall in love with her Picture Quote #1

How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me? Picture Quote #1

Another train will come. Why rush? Why worry? Why go crazy? Another train will come. And sure enough, another train going my way was pulling into the station. My bad mood evaporated. I entered the car smiling, certain that there would be more missed trains in my life, more closed doors in my face, but there would always be another train rumbling down the tracks in my direction Picture Quote #1

I went through a period in my life when I had no friends, when the phone never rang, when I thought I would die from loneliness. I know that the real blessing here isn’t that I have a book published, but that I have so many people to thank Picture Quote #1

The poets and philosophers I once loved had it wrong. Death does not come to us all, nor does the passage of time dim our memories and reduce our bodies to dust. Because while I was considered dead, and a headstone had been engraved with my name, in truth my life was just beginning Picture Quote #1

This is our story to tell. You’d think for all the reading I do, I would have thought about this before, but I haven’t. I’ve never once thought about the interpretative, the story telling aspect of life, of my life. I always felt like I was in a story, yes, but not like I was the author of it, or like I had any say in its telling whatsoever Picture Quote #1

Ordinarily, I am the person who falls in love quickly and somewhat inappropriately and then goes on to destroy what is a good thing. That’s always been my style. So, you know: I get it. And I feel right now the way I imagine all those guys felt with me. And I have to say, for the first time in my life, I feel something approaching compassion for them Picture Quote #1

Maybe the true purpose of my life is for my body, my sensations and my thoughts to become writing, in other words, something intelligible and universal, causing my existence to merge into the lives and heads of other people Picture Quote #1

Before I start a project, I always ask myself the following question. Why is this book worth a year of my life? There needs to be something about the theme, the technique, or the research that makes the time spent on it worthwhile Picture Quote #1

What is the difference between my life and my love? One gets me low, the other lets me go Picture Quote #1

I’m beginning to believe that anything I do to extend my life is just going to be outweighed by the agony of living it Picture Quote #1

My life was my life; I would have to stare it down, somehow, and make it work for me Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how to choose work that illuminates what my life is about. I don’t know what my life is about and don’t examine it. My life will define itself as I live it. The movies will define themselves as I make them. As long as the theme is something I care about at the moment, it’s enough for me to start work. Maybe work itself is what my life is about Picture Quote #1

I began to see myself as someone who can help others understand diversity rather than feeling like a social outcast. Ellen taught me to not care about other people’s opinions. She taught me to be truthful. She taught me to be free. I began to live my life in love and complete acceptance. For the first time I had truly accepted myself Picture Quote #1

All my life, I’d been on the receiving end of my mother’s endless tenderness and vigilant care. Being allowed to care for her during her recovery was a gift – the most rewarding experience in my life Picture Quote #1

I wonder at what point my life swerved to avoid that, and if that life would have been nicer than the one I’ve got Picture Quote #1

I’d rather lose her from my life, but know she was alive and well than lose her altogether to death Picture Quote #1

She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it Picture Quote #1

At that time in my life, no conclusion was a bad conclusion. Something ended, and you stopped wishing and worrying. You could consider your mistakes, and you might be embarrassed by them, but the box was sealed, the door was shut, you were no longer immersed in the confusing middle Picture Quote #1

With my life comes my heart, yours now to crush or cherish as you will. It is my hope you will have a care in keeping both Picture Quote #1

The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil’s own satanic herd! Picture Quote #1

Most women want their youth back again; but I wouldn’t have mine back at any price. The worst years of my life are behind me, and my best ones ahead Picture Quote #1

Life, for the most part, inevitably becomes routine, the random confluence of timing and fortune that configures its components all but forgotten. But every so often, I catch a glimpse of my life out of the corner of my eye, and am rendered breathless by it Picture Quote #1

I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents; apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life Picture Quote #1

Lesser, greater, middling, it’s all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I’m not a pious hermit, I haven’t done only good in my life. But if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all Picture Quote #1

I stare at her for a long moment. I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life Picture Quote #1
