When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life  (Was Quotes) I always have this fear that one day you are going to discover that I'm not as great as you once thought I was  (Was Quotes) This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called "woman", for she was taken out of man  (Was Quotes) My goal is not to wake up at 40 with the bitter realization that I've wasted my life in a job I hate, because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens  (Was Quotes) I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it's not, it's to end up with people who make you feel all alone  (Was Quotes) Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day!

What I have done since then is pretty well known  (Was Quotes) From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine to five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting  (Was Quotes) When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is  (Was Quotes) When I saw others straining toward God, I did not understand it, for though I may have had him less than they did, there was no one blocking the way between him and me, and I could reach his heart easily. It is up to him, after all, to have us, our part consists of almost solely in letting him grasp us  (Was Quotes) The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world  (Was Quotes) What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose  (Was Quotes) Beautiful women, whose beauty meant more than it said... was their brilliancy always fed by something coarse and concealed? Was that their secret?  (Was Quotes) There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills or fields. If there was a road, I could not make it out in the faint starlight. There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made  (Was Quotes) In other searchings it might be the object of the quest that brought satisfaction, or it might be something incidental that one got on the way; but in religion, desire was fulfilment, it was the seeking itself that rewarded  (Was Quotes) The sky was a midnight blue, like warm, deep, blue water, and the moon seemed to lie on it like a water lily, floating forward with an invisible current  (Was Quotes) What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself  (Was Quotes) Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem  (Was Quotes) Perhaps I do not know what I was made for; but one thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master  (Was Quotes) Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafes full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room  (Was Quotes) In laying hands upon the sacred ark of absolute permanency, in treating the forms that had been regarded as types of fixity and perfection as originating and passing away, the Origin of Species introduced a mode of thinking that in the end was bound to transform the logic of knowledge, and hence the treatment of morals, politics, and religion  (Was Quotes) Envy is the only name she could find for the monstrous thing she faced, but it was much worse than envy: it was the profound hatred of life, of success and of all human values  (Was Quotes) Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech  (Was Quotes) Why one man rather than another? it was odd. you find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen  (Was Quotes) Insects were scurrying about in the shade cast by the grass, and the lawn was a huge monotonous forest of thousands of little green blades, all equal, all alike, hiding the world from each other. anguished, she thought, I don't want to be just another blade of grass  (Was Quotes) She was beautiful, with a beauty so severe and so solitary that at first it was startling.

I'd envy no one  (Was Quotes) It was as though some stubborn god spent their time in an immutable and absurd balancing act between life and death, prosperity and poverty  (Was Quotes) The misfortune which befalls man from his once having been a child is that his liberty was at first concealed from him, and all his life he will retain the nostalgia for a time when he was ignorant of its exigencies  (Was Quotes)
