Present Life Quotes

The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it does attempt to represent life Picture Quote #1

In order to represent life on the stage, we must rub elbows with life, live ourselves Picture Quote #1

Eternal life is personal existence in continuity with the present life, but transfigured Picture Quote #1

Not only is there no guarantee of the temporal immortality of the human soul, that is to say of it's eternal survival after death; but, in any case, this assumption completely fails to accomplish the purpose for which it has always been intended. Or is some riddle solved by my surviving forever? Is not this eternal life itself as much of a riddle as our present life? Picture Quote #1

The objects of the present life fill the human eye with a false magnification because of their immediacy Picture Quote #1

Golden hours of vision come to us in this present life, when we are at our best, and our faculties work together in harmony Picture Quote #1

I culled poetry from odors, sounds, faces, and ordinary events occurring around me. Breezes bulged me as if I were cloth; sounds nicked their marks on my nerves; objects made impressions on my sight as if in clay. There, in the soft language, life centered and ground itself in me and I was flowing with the grain of the universe. Language placed my life experiences in a new context, freeing me for the moment to become with air as air, with clouds as clouds, from which new associations arose to engage me in present life in a more purposeful way Picture Quote #1

Our beliefs in a rich future life are of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life Picture Quote #1

... works of piety and charity... are necessary in this present life for as long as inequality prevails. Their workings here would not be required were it not for the superabundant numbers of the poor, the needy, and the sick... As long as this inequity rages in the world, these good works will be necessary and valuable to anyone practicing them and they shall yield the reward of an everlasting inheritance to the man of good heart and concerned will Picture Quote #1

I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life Picture Quote #1

Let us seek to extend the present life to the uttermost by observing every law of health, and by properly balancing labor, study, rest and recreation Picture Quote #1

When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it Picture Quote #1

Cease conceiving of education as mere preparation for later life, and make it the full meaning of the present life Picture Quote #1

Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough Picture Quote #1

The more spiritual a man desires to be, the more bitter does this present life become to him, because he perceives better and sees more clearly the defects of human corruption Picture Quote #1

The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it... we see literature best from the midst of wild nature, or from the din of affairs, or from a high religion. The field cannot be well seen from within the field Picture Quote #1

How interesting it would be to write the story of the experiences in this life of a man who killed himself in his previous life; how he stumbles against the very demands which had offered themselves before, until he arrives at the realization that he must fulfill those demands. The deeds of the preceding life give direction to the present life Picture Quote #1

The benevolent have the advantage of the envious, even in this present life; for the envious man is tormented not only by all the ill that befalls himself, but by all the good that happens to another; whereas the benevolent man is the better prepared to bear his own calamities unruffled, from the complacency and serenity he has secured from contemplating the prosperity of all around him Picture Quote #1

But the present life should never be hated, except insofar as it subjects us to sin, although even that hatred should not properly be applied to life itself Picture Quote #1

For Christians this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven Picture Quote #1

Of this our true individual life, our present life is a glimpse, a fragment, a hint, and in its best moments a visible beginning Picture Quote #1
