André Maurois: The art...

The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.
/André Maurois/

Alfred Adler: We only...

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a getaway. We cannot love and be limited.
/Alfred Adler/

Friedrich Schiller: History, insofar...

History, insofar as it accustoms human beings to comprehend the whole of the past and to hasten forward with its conclusions into the far future, conceals the boundaries of birth and death, which enclose the life of the human being so narrowly and oppressively, and with a kind of optical illusion, expands his short existence into endless space, leading the individual imperceptibly over into humanity.
/Friedrich Schiller/

Frederico Fellini: There is...

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
/Frederico Fellini/

Mikhail Bakunin: Look at...

Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being.
/Mikhail Bakunin/

Newton Diehl Baker: The great...

The great trouble with most men is that those who have been educated become uneducated just as soon as they stop inquiring and investigating life and its problems for themselves.
/Newton Diehl Baker/

Oliver Wendell Holmes: It's faith...

It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.
/Oliver Wendell Holmes/

Ayn Rand: The good,...

The good, say the mystics of spirit, is God, a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive - a definition that invalidates man's consciousness and nullifies his concepts of existence. The good, say the mystics of muscle, is Society - a thing which they define as an organism that possesses no physical form, a super-being embodied in no one in particular and everyone in general except yourself... The purpose of man's life, say both, is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question.
/Ayn Rand/

Gordon Parks: I've been...

I've been with Life now for seventeen years and I have written several articles for them and will be doing more writing and do at least two assignments a year besides my writing.
/Gordon Parks/

Vincent Gallo: I never...

I never apologized for anything in my life. The only thing I'm sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie, then I'm sorry for him.
/Vincent Gallo/

Henry David Thoreau: There is...

There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a successful life knows no law. It is an unfortunate discovery certainly, that of a law which binds us where we did not know before that we were bound. Live free, child of the mist--and with respect to knowledge we are all children of the mist. The man who takes the liberty to live is superior to all the laws, by virtue of his relation to the lawmaker. That is active duty, says the Vishnu Purana, which is not for our bondage; that is knowledge which is for our liberation: all other duty is good only unto weariness; all other knowledge is only the cleverness of an artist.
/Henry David Thoreau/

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

Taylor Caldwell: My life...

My life has been tragic and disastrous since birth.
/Taylor Caldwell/

John Muir: Let children...

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
/John Muir/

Dave Davies: I think...

I think people are turning inward more now cause the world's got in such a weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time.
/Dave Davies/

Alvar Aalto: Building art...

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.
/Alvar Aalto/

Leon Edel: The biographer...

The biographer who writes the life of his subject's self-concept passes through a fade into the inner house of life.
/Leon Edel/

I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you're emotions going.
/Jim Valvano/

Sara Teasdale: Life has...

Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
/Sara Teasdale/

Sean O'Casey: I have...

I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I've enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.
/Sean O'Casey/

Bertrand Russell: Life is...

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
/Bertrand Russell/

I won't eat anything that has intelligent life, but I'd gladly eat a network executive or a politician.
/Marty Feldman/

Dwight D. Eisenhower: I feel...

I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
/Dwight D. Eisenhower/

Adam Savage: Remember kids,...

Remember kids, I have life insurance.
/Adam Savage/

Fred Allen: A celebrity...

A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
/Fred Allen/

February 03, 2015

John Lachs: Much as...

Much as we complain about our condition or feel victimized by fortune or fellow humans, we simply love being alive. We love life in others and in ourselves. We are in love with life. To love life is to love the activities of which it consists and to hope for more.
/John Lachs/

Adolf Hitler: It may...

It may be that today gold has become the exclusive ruler of life, but the time will come when man will again bow down to a higher god. Many things today owe their existence solely to the longing for money and wealth, but there is very little among them whose non-existence would leave humanity any the poorer.
/Adolf Hitler/

Judy Garland: I've always...

I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.
/Judy Garland/

William Shakespeare: Nothing in...

Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.
/William Shakespeare/
