Lives Quotes
-
words are but drops pressed out of the lives of those who lived them.
Freya Stark
-
Ms. Doman had this whole thing about how we have to tell stories about whatever happens to us, and then we can use those stories to decide whether out lives are happy or not, whether events have redeeming aspects or are totally hopeless, that it's really all about how we choose to shape and name things.
Rachel DeWoskin
-
She is happy. She only lives five minutes around the corner so she is buzzing.
Clinton Morrison
-
Without initiative, or the capacity to act, to make things happen or just to do something, we run the risk of living passive lives waiting for things to happen. We wait for opportunities instead of making them. We wait for love, for our big break, for a problem to disappear. We are waiting for our lives to live us, instead of going out and living our lives with purpose and action.
Adam Goucher

I don't care about the poor, I don't care about the middle class and I don't care about the rich. I care about good people who live virtuous lives, who engage in the world - who are rational, who take responsibility for their own lives. I care about virtue, good people. I know scoundrels in the upper, middle and lower class and I don't care about them. I want the irrational to suffer from their irrationality, I want the lazy to suffer from their laziness and the ones without virtue to suffer from that. Marx came up with the idea of dividing people into classes and now everyone buys into it, left, center and right. I want hardworking people to benefit from their virtues.

All conditions and all circumstances in our lives are a result of a certain level of thinking. If we want to change the conditions and circumstances, we have to change the level of thinking that is responsible for it.
Albert Einstein
-
We all make mistakes at some time in our lives, some more than others. It is only when the cost is counted in human lives that people really take notice.
Jasper Fforde
-
Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart - one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of Man. Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or a silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not? Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgment, to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such?
Edgar Allan Poe
-
Whoever we are, we have to carve something out of our lives. I would like to be on my deathbed going, 'I've enjoyed that. I went through the rollercoaster of it, but I've appreciated it.'
Noma Dumezweni
-
And when he catches me looking at him, he gives me this incredibly sweet, calm smile, and I think that we've got our lives ahead of us, our whole lives.
Delphine de Vigan
-
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
-
Why is the rest of the world so overcrowded? Nobody lives in America! We're all squashed up on top of each other in London.
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
