The Life Quotes

The greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war Picture Quote #1

Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations Picture Quote #1

The chief beneficiary of life insurance policies for young, single people is the life insurance agent Picture Quote #1

For me, the magazine was always the heart of what my life was all about, and the other half was living the life Picture Quote #1

The nightmare of materialism, which has turned the life of the universe into an evil, useless game, is not yet past; it holds the awakening soul still in its grip Picture Quote #1

There are some people who walk into a room and they oxygenate it, by their very being there’s fresh air. Then there are those who come in with the smell of death and they suck the life out Picture Quote #1

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here Picture Quote #1

If you want to write something of length, however modern and radical, you must live the life of an elderly gentleman of the 1950s Picture Quote #1

Listen to the pregnant woman. Value her. She values the life growing inside her. Listen to the pregnant woman, and you cannot help but defend her right to abortion Picture Quote #1

Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire Picture Quote #1

This was her life. Not the life she had once dreamed of, not a life her younger self would ever have imagined or desired, but the life she was living, with all its complexities. This was her life, built with care and attention, and it was good Picture Quote #1

When you look back on a lifetime and think of what has been given to the world by your presence, your fugitive presence, inevitably you think of your art, whatever it may be, as the gift you have made to the world in acknowledgment of the gift you have been given, which is the life itself... That work is not an expression of the desire for praise or recognition, or prizes, but the deepest manifestation of your gratitiude for the gift of life Picture Quote #1

My mind swirled with memories of the life I had led. The constant struggle to keep up appearances, the pretenses, the smiles that had been met with tears. The long sleepless nights, the loneliness that cloaked my spirit and turned me into a true ghost Picture Quote #1

... just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul Picture Quote #1

We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that. Suffering is what brings us towards happiness Picture Quote #1

There’s the life we dream, the life we deserve, and the life we get. I’ll take what I got over what I deserve any day Picture Quote #1

I refuse to turn to theology to justify the life or redeem it. There is a question always of the connection to the eternal. I say to myself above all, keep alive your conviction that there are sacred elements in the life in the practice of the life that must be respected. But the conviction in the existence of the sacred does not necessarily imply that you need to believe in a creator, because we are the ones that made the sacred Picture Quote #1

To face a man in combat is challenge enough. To find the goddess in a woman is the life work of a man. Hard though the first may be, the second is the harder longer road. But every man seeks the woman of the dream, and only the best of men finds what he seeks Picture Quote #1

Staying alive is nice, but you can’t do that forever. It’s how you live the life you have while you have it Picture Quote #1

I wonder if children don’t begin to reject both poetry and religion for similar reasons, because the way both are taught takes the life out of them Picture Quote #1

Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art Picture Quote #1

For the life of her, she couldn’t understand how such an obstinate, boneheaded chauvinist could make her pulse race and her insides turn to jelly Picture Quote #1

Let people who do not know what to do with themselves in this life, but fritter away their time reading magazines and watching television, hope for eternal life... The life I want is a life I could not endure in eternity. It is a life of love and intensity, suffering and creation, that makes life worth while and death welcome. There is no other life I should prefer. Neither should I like not to die Picture Quote #1

A poet is a painter in his way, he draws to the life, but in another kind; we draw the nobler part, the soul and the mind; the pictures of the pen shall outlast those of the pencil, and even worlds themselves Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying I’m glad it happened. Not exactly. But I’m not sorry to be the person I am today, and to have the life I have now. Even though it’s not what I thought I wanted for my future, a year ago, it is what I want now Picture Quote #1

I’m not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter Picture Quote #1

It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community Picture Quote #1

We all have secret lives. The life of excretion; the world of inappropriate sexual fantasies; our real hopes, our terror of death; our experience of shame; the world of pain; and our dreams. No one else knows these lives. Consciousness is solitary. Each person lives in that bubble universe that rests under the skull, alone Picture Quote #1

I looked like a woman in glasses, but I had dreams of leading a very different kind of life, the life of a woman who would not wear glasses, the kind of woman I saw from a distance now and then in a bar Picture Quote #1

If it had been any different, if I had been born just one minute later, or been in the wrong pace at the right time or vice versa, the life that I’ve lived and come to love would not exist. And that is a situation that I would not want to consider in the slightest Picture Quote #1
