Life Quotes
-
I thought film was more important than life itself for many years. But I was naive to the world until my first child was born in 1985.
Steven Spielberg
-
I have lived much of my life among molecules. They are good company.
George Wald
-
We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all. We discovered that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys which make it worth living, and also worth giving. And we also discovered that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than war or than death; and that is to live in fear.
Eve Curie
-
The true pleasure of life is to live with your inferiors.
William Makepeace Thackeray
-
Unfortunately, in seeing ourselves as we truly are, not all that we see is beautiful and attractive. This is undoubtedly part of the reason we flee silence. We do not want to be confronted with our hypocrisy, our phoniness. We see how false and fragile is the false self we project. We have to go through this painful experience to come to our true self. It is a harrowing journey, a death to self – the false self – and no one wants to die. But it is the only path to life, to freedom, to peace, to true love. And it begins with silence. We cannot give ourselves in love if we do not know and possess ourselves. This is the great value of silence. It is the pathway to all we truly want.
Basil Pennington
-
I wouldn't say music is my passion, or my calling, or anything like that. I mean, I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. Life is a series of chance happenings, so I just fell into it.
Zachary Cole Smith
-
Live every day as your last, because one of these days, it will be.
Jonathan Swift

Rituals are the building blocks of life, my way of cobbling an entire summer together from incidental wisps.
Andre Aciman
-
Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.
Gautama Buddha
-
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
