Jenna Elfman: I just...

I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!
/Jenna Elfman/

Mahatma Gandhi: In the...

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
/Mahatma Gandhi/

Wendy Kaminer: I don't...

I don't spend much time thinking about whether God exists. I don't consider that a relevant question. It's unanswerable and irrelevant to my life, so I put it in the category of things I can't worry about.
/Wendy Kaminer/

One of the worst things that can happen to you in life is to win a bet on a horse at an early age.

Pierce Vincent Eckhart: When I...

When I was a Boy Scout, we played a game when new Scouts joined the troop. We lined up chairs in a pattern, creating an obstacle course through which the new Scouts, blindfolded, were supposed to maneuver. The Scoutmaster gave them a few moments to study the pattern before our adventure began. But as soon as the victims were blindfolded, the rest of us quietly removed the chairs. I think life is like this game. Perhaps we spend our lives avoiding obstacles we have created for ourselves and in reality exist only in our minds. We're afraid to apply for that job, take violin lessons, learn a foreign language, call an old friend, write our Congressman - whatever it is that we would really like to do but don't because of personal obstacles. Don't avoid any chairs until you run smack into one. And if you do, at least you'll have a place to sit down.

Catch, then, oh catch the transient hour;<BR>Improve each moment as it flies!<BR>Life's a short summer, man a flower;<BR>He dies - alas! how soon he dies!
/Samuel Johnson/

Dick York: I never...

I never danced a step in my life so naturally. My first motion picture was a musical, and Bob Fosse was the choreographer. I didn't exactly dance for Fosse, I just did the best that I could to do what he taught us to do.
/Dick York/

Cyril Connolly: We create...

We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life; it is because we tire of our responsibility.

Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.

In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life, but from each other.
/Oscar Wilde/

Robert Louis Stevenson: A great...

A great part of life consists in contemplating what we cannot cure.
/Robert Louis Stevenson/

Pearl Bailey: There's a...

There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
/Pearl Bailey/

Robert Brault: Shall I...

Shall I redirect my life's journey because down some sideroad might be some trifle I'm entitled to?

Warren Zevon: I missed...

I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly.
/Warren Zevon/

John F. Kennedy: The courage...

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.
/John F. Kennedy/

Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.
/Georges Carpentier/

Christopher Lasch: The left...

The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types.
/Christopher Lasch/

Henry Rollins: When life...

When life hands you a lemon, say Oh yeah, I like lemons. What else you got?
/Henry Rollins/

C. G. Jung: There are...

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
/C. G. Jung/

Anna Quindlen: I realized...

I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.
/Anna Quindlen/

F. Scott Fitzgerald: Life was...

Life was a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side.
/F. Scott Fitzgerald/

Albert Schweitzer: The highest...

The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge nor hope for the future can be the pivot of our life or determine its direction. It is intended to be solely determined by our allowing ourselves to be gripped by the ethical God, who reveals Himself in us, and by our yielding our will to His.
/Albert Schweitzer/

Seneca: Precepts or...

Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
/Seneca/

George Bernard Shaw: You are...

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.

Pamela Anderson: What I...

What I know in life runs the gamut of the feminist experience. The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.
/Pamela Anderson/

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
/Viktor E. Frankl/

Jerry Garcia: I'm not...

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
/Jerry Garcia/

Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.

/M. Scott Peck/

A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
/Alfred Hitchcock/

Alice Foote MacDougall: Poverty is...

Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty.
/Alice Foote MacDougall/

In itself and in its consequences the life of leisure is beautiful and ennobling in all civilised men's eyes.
