Life Quotes
In the midway of this our mortal life,
I found me in a gloomy wood, astray,
Gone from the path direct.
Dante Alighieri
The artist who gives up an hour of work for an hour of conversation with a friend knows that he is sacrificing a reality for something that does not exist (our friends being friends only in the light of an agreeable folly which travels with us through life and to which we readily accommodate ourselves, but which at the bottom of our hearts we know to be no more reasonable than the delusion of the man who talks to the furniture because he believes that it is alive.).
Marcel Proust
What you believe is powerful. If you can change what you believe, you can change your life!
Joseph Prince
A life of pleasure makes even the strongest mind frivolous at last.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
There are times when only America can make the difference between war and peace, between freedom and repression, between life death. We cannot save all the world's children but we can save many of them.
Bill Clinton
Whenever life gets to be too much for me, I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. Sleeping is cheaper and safer than drinking. It keeps you from saying or doing things you'll regret later, and though you may have nightmares, you won't wake up with a hangover. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be, when you start using the secret.
Bob Proctor
You know you can't hope yourself a better life - you must take yourself there.
Helen Gurley Brown
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller
It's not an easy choice, but that's OK. Easy doesn't equal good. Difficulty doesn't equal bad. It's just life, is all.
Barry Lyga
I mean, I think everybody should probably approach a film that it's another unwanted thing. That's going to be seared onto my brain for the rest of my life. Thank you for that.
Johnny Depp
Real life is physical. Give me books instead. Give me the invisibility of the contents of books, the thoughts, the ideas, the images. Let me become part of a book. . . . an intertextual being: a book cyborg, or, considering that books aren't cybernetic, perhaps a bibliorg.
Scarlett Thomas
Farming is a poor way to make a living, at least around here, because you have to go into factory farming to make it pay. It is the best hobby there is—only 'hobby' is too little a word. The best way of life. Not just because you learn forty different trades, and not just because you follow the seasons, but because you get to spend your whole life producing a single work of art. That is, the farm itself.
Noel Perrin
Live an interesting life. Meet people. Read a lot and widely, learn from the great writers
Michael Morpurgo
The best and purest human beings, from the beginning of time, have understood that life is sacred.
Saul Bellow
I need to say to you. There are things in your life that only you will see, stories that only you will hear. If you don’t tell them or write them down, if you don’t make the picture, these things will not be seen, these things will not be heard.
Emmet Gowin
Between us, and Hell or Heaven, there is only life between the two, which is the most fragile thing in the world.
Variant: Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.
Blaise Pascal
