Life Quotes
-
If you're going to write about someone's life, you don't just use them for wallpaper. You have to honor and respect that life.
Nick Flynn

I'm just an all-around happy girl who loves everything about her life.
Missy Franklin
-
Those who have a why to live for can bear almost any how. The necessary premise is that a person is somehow more than his or her "characteristics," all the emotions, strivings, tastes, and constructions which it pleases us to call "My Life." We have grounds to hope that a Life is something more than a cloud of particles, mere facticity. Go through what is comprehensible and you conclude that only the incomprehensible gives any light.
Saul Bellow

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
Haruki Murakami

Every moment of life brings an opportunity for being conscious of human feeling, in prosperity, in adversity, in all conditions. It costs very little; only a little thought is necessary.

Hazrat Inayat Khan

You can't describe love, Kathie, and you can't define it. Only it goes with you all your life. I think that love is more like a light that you carry. At first childish happiness keeps it lighted and after that romance. Then motherhood lights it and then duty...and maybe after that sorrow. You wouldn't think that sorrow could be a light would you, dearie? But it can. And then after that, service lights it. Yes...I think that is what love is to a woman...a lantern in her hand.
Bess Streeter Aldrich
-
Life at home is cramped and dirty, it is difficult to live a spiritual life completely, perfect and pure in all its parts while cabinned.
Gautama Buddha
-
She had nothing to do all day ... but did it with the greatest possible speed.
