Hillary Rodham Clinton: We are,...

We are, all of us, exploring a world none of us understands...searching for a more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating mode of living...for the integrity, the courage to be whole, living in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence. The struggle for an integrated life existing in an atmosphere of communal trust and respect is one with desperately important political and social consequences...Fear is always with us, but we just don`t have time for it.-Commencement Speech, Wellesley 1969
/Hillary Rodham Clinton/

Haruki Murakami: People die...

People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It`s too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.
/Haruki Murakami/

The war correspondent has his stake - his life - in his own hands, and he can put it on this horse or that horse, or he can put it back in his pocket at the very last minute.

I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald: He smiled...

He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.
/Francis Scott Fitzgerald/

Billy Collins: It is...

It is time to float on the waters of the night. Time to wrap my arms around this book and press it to my chest, life preserver in a sea of unremarkable men and women, anonymous faces on the street, a hundred thousand unalphabetized things, a million forgotten hours.

A.W. Tozer: Let us...

Let us beware of tinkering with our inner life in hope ourselves to rend the veil. God must do everything for us. Our part is to yield and trust. We must confess, forsake, repudiate the self-life, and then reckon it crucified. But we must be careful to distinguish lazy `acceptance` from the real work of God. We must insist upon the work being done. We dare not rest content with a neat doctrine of self-crucifixion. That is to imitate Saul and spare the best of the sheep and the oxen.Insist that the work be done in very truth and it will be done. The cross is rough, and it is deadly, but it is effective. It does not keep its victim hanging there forever. There comes a moment when its work is finished and the suffering victim dies. After that is resurrection glory and power, and the pain is forgotten for joy that the veil is taken away and we have entered in actual spiritual experience the Presence of the living God.

J. Robert Lennon: My sister...

My sister stood up, trembling, and I must admit that I expected her familiar sneer to have taken its usual place on her face. But all I could find there was unhappiness and fear. Fear of my reaction, perhaps. But when a person has lived a life like hers, a life of promiscuity, rootlessness, and substance abuse, resentment and fear tend to replace all reasonable and proper emotions, and the world becomes your enemy.

Mohadesa Najumi: Certainty implies...

Certainty implies choice. But there is no real choice in our lives. There is order in the chaos and it is not up to us to understand why everything happens the way it that it does. Find a way to be okay with the chaotic order. It can either be a blessing or a curse to you, but you are the one with the choice to make. Remember that the ocean is beautiful because the waves just flow. They have no real direction. Be like a wave and accept the flow. See the uncertainty that is really a blessing in disguise. Come into life and let life take possession of you.
/Mohadesa Najumi/

Mathematics is a logical method ... Mathematical propositions express no thoughts. In

Thomas Pynchon: The Telescope,...

The Telescope, the Fluxions, the invention of Logarithms and the frenzy of multiplication, often for its own sake, that follow`d have for Emerson all been steps of an unarguable approach to God, a growing clarity,- Gravity, the pulse of time, the finite speed of Light present themselves to him as aspect of God`s character. It`s like becoming friendly with an erratic, powerful, potentially dangerous member of the Aristocracy. He holds no quarrel with the Creator`s sovereignty, but is repeatedly appall`d at the lapses in Attention, the flaws in Design, the squand`rings of life and energy, the failures to be reasonable, or to exercise common sense,- first appall`d, then angry. We are taught,- we believe,- that it is love of the Creation which drives the Philosopher in his Studies. Emerson is driven, rather, by a passionate Resentment.
/Thomas Pynchon/

Archibald Marwizi: The African...

The African Challenge - We must end conflict in Africa. We must lead to allow the Africans to enjoy the benefits from their natural resources. We must end poverty in Africa. Every African must be educated, have access to health care and a fair chance to fulfil their dream. Preventable sickness and disease must not reduce life expectancy or rob pregnant women of a chance to continue living. Africa must develop. Africa must not depend on foreign aid. Africa must be united and governed more effectively. Africa must customize her leadership culture and philosophy in a way that gives her global relevance and respect but still remain true and authentic to herself. Will you accept the challenge? Will you be that Africa?
/Archibald Marwizi/

Gerald L. Sittser: Gifts of...

Gifts of grace come to all of us. But we must be ready to see and willing to receive these gifts. It will require a kind of sacrifice, the sacrifice of believing that, however painful our losses, life can still be good ? good in a different way then before, but nevertheless good. I will never recover from my loss and I will never got over missing the ones I lost. But I still cherish life. . . . I will always want the ones I lost back again. I long for them with all my soul. But I still celebrate the life I have found because they are gone. I have lost, but I have also gained. I lost the world I loved, but I gained a deeper awareness of grace. That grace has enabled me to clarify my purpose in life and rediscover the wonder of the present moment.

James Connolly: It would...

It would be well to realize that the talk of ?humane methods of warfare?, of the ?rules of civilized warfare?, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal, and only intended for the consumption of stay-at-homes. There are no humane methods of warfare, there is no such thing as civilized warfare; all warfare is inhuman, all warfare is barbaric; the first blast of the bugles of war ever sounds for the time being the funeral knell of human progress? What lover of humanity can view with anything but horror the prospect of this ruthless destruction of human life. Yet this is war: war for which all the jingoes are howling, war to which all the hopes of the world are being sacrificed, war to which a mad ruling class would plunge a mad world.
/James Connolly/

Paul Bowles: ...we get...

...we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.

Wallace Stegner: The flimsy...

The flimsy little protestations that mark the front gate of every novel, the solemn statements that any resemblance to real persons living or dead is entirely coincidental, are fraudulent every time. A writer has no other material to make his people from than the people of his experience ... The only thing the writer can do is to recombine parts, suppress some characterisitics and emphasize others, put two or three people into one fictional character, and pray the real-life prototypes won`t sue.

Paulo Coelho: Because of...

Because of that she had never had enough energy to be herself, a person who, like everyone else in the world, needed other people in order to be happy. But other people were so difficult. They reacted in unpredictable ways, they surrounded themselves with defensive walls, they behaved just as she did, pretending they didn`t care about anything. When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.
/Paulo Coelho/

Value the life given to you and hold fast to your own precious ideals and self worth.

Jaeda DeWalt: All the...

All the external adoration, respect and adulation in the word, can`t drown out the internal voices that tell us, we are not good enough and unworthy of; happiness, love and an abundant life. When we need others to tell us were amazing, worthy and lovable, in order to feel good about ourselves, it is never enough. It goes into the bottomless pit where our inherent self-worth should be. It may feel like we are reaching out to receive love, but in actuality, we are seeking external noise to help drown out our negative core beliefs.Love blossoms from the inside out. That is why it is so important to do the work necessary to heal our emotional wounds, to love ourselves and stand strong in who we are. Only then, are we truly free to give and receive love, unconditionally and in abundance.
/Jaeda DeWalt/

Walter Lippmann: If school...

If school success were a reliable index of human capacity, we should be able to go a step further and say that the intelligence test is a general measure of human capacity. But of course no such claim can be made for school success, for that would be to say that the purpose of the schools is to measure capacity. It is impossible to admit this. The child's success with school work cannot be a measure of a child's success in life. On the contrary, his success in life must be a significant measure of the school's success in developing the capacities of the child. If a child fails in school and then fails in life, the school cannot sit back and say: you see how accurately I predicted this. Unless we are to admit that education is essentially impotent, we have to throw back the child's failure at the school, and describe it as a failure not by the child but by the school.
/Walter Lippmann/

It`s one thing to have a divinely inspired love given to you to experience and share; it`s something else altogether to recognize it when it appears.

Just keep saying yes.

Ashish Patel: When you...

When you do what someone else wants you to do, you are wasting your time. Don`t get tricked by other people`s thinking. The life is yours and so are goals. Believe in your own intuitions, speak your own voice, and follow what your heart says. The rest is secondary.

Jiddu Krishnamurti: To find...

To find out if there is actually such freedom one must be aware of one`s own conditioning, of the problems, of the monotonous shallowness, emptiness, insufficiency of one`s daily life, and above all one must be aware of fear. One must be aware of oneself neither introspectively nor analytically, but actually be aware of oneself as one is and see if it is at all possible to be entirely free of all those issues that seem to clog the mind.To explore, there must be freedom, not at the end, but right at the beginning. Unless one is free one cannot explore, investigate or examine. Two things are essential: freedom and the act of learning. One cannot learn about oneself unless one is free, free so that one can observe, not according to any pattern, formula or convept, but actually observe oneself as one is.
/Jiddu Krishnamurti/

Shea Darian: As we...

As we embrace the mystery of love, we see that it contains not an absence of error, but the presence of grace. It contains not the absence of anger or pain, but the presence of forgiveness and healing. Not the absence of disharmony or confusion, but the presence of peace and clarity.To make a home into a sanctuary, we must be willing to make room in our hearts for one another`s limitations, as well as our gifts. For it is here in this sacred space of the home and family, so brimming with life, so full of every emotion available to our hearts, that we learn what it means to love within all the nuances of an intimate relationship.

Michelle Hodkin: I slipped...

I slipped in and out of consciousness as time stretched and flowed around me. Dreams and reality blurred, but I liked the dreams better. Noah was in them.I dreamed of us, walking hand in hand down a crowded street in the middle of the day. We were in New York. I was in no rush?I could walk with him forever?but Noah was. He pulled me alongside him, strong and determined and not smiling. Not today.We wove among the people, somehow not touching a single one. The trees were green and blossoming. It was spring, almost summer. A strong wind shook a few steadfast flowers off of the branches and into our path. We ignored them.Noah led me into Central Park. It was teeming with human life. Bright colored picnic blankets burst across the lawn, the pale, outstretched forms of people wriggling over them like worms in fruit. We passed the reservoir, the sun reflecting off its surface, and then the crowd began to thicken.They funneled into a throbbing mass as we strode up a hill, over and through. Until we could see them all below us, angry and electric. Noah reached into his bag. He pulled out the little cloth doll, my grandmother?s. The one we burned.
/Michelle Hodkin/

Dew Platt: During the...

During the crash and burn, I began to burn from cranial crown to flat sole, for meaning and understanding. Every concept, psychological perceptions with hardened pathways, everything that registered as inherited from the communal was starting to dissolve into meaninglessness. The foundational tenets, the pre-established belief systems, instilled sustenance systems tended by both family and extended communal began to dissolve, first as trivial, and then as untenable to my being without validation from me. If my life was worth anything, I choose to live the best life for me. So I entered what I call The Blank State.

Arnold Weinstein: We are...

We are stripped of all that gave value and substance to our existence: power and love; in this naked final state, our last lover, our mate, death, comes. Bereft, without cover, we face the elements that will undo us. The winter breakers crash over and through us, flaunting their vigor and our nullity, as if the entire cosmos were now taking its ultimate revenge on the human creature who has lived too long: the dying sun mocks us from the west, for it will return tomorrow to die again, but we go down only once; the rising sun mocks us from the east, for we will not share in the rebirth of light and life; the noonday taunts us with its heat and vitality, for we are detritus; the north finally cloaks us in our last vestments: eternal night. That is how it ends.
/Arnold Weinstein/

Paul Valéry: Latent in...

Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, and crowning injury inflicts upon him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself
/Paul Valéry/

Ta-Nehisi Coates: In those...

In those years, hip-hop saved my life. I was still half alien to the people around me. I loved them, mostly because I`d realized that there was no other choice. Hip-hop gave me a common language, but that August, on liberated land, I found that there were other ways of speaking, a mother tongue that, no matter age, no matter interest, lived in us all.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés: Sometimes the...

Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.
/Clarissa Pinkola Estés/

Rebecca McNutt: In her...

In her eyes was the reflection of everything that mattered: old diners with neon signs, vinyl records, celluloid film, drive-in movies, Pears soap, department stores, her brother?s old blue Camaro car and the smell of coal dust in the rainy sky of a summer lightning storm.?And all the nice bright colors of the past that she thought were gone for good came flowing back into her life like a wave of nostalgia flooding over her, reds, yellows, blues and greens drenching her gray memories in psychedelic ribbons and glittering fireworks.?She hoped that the world would always hold those miniscule yet beautiful, deep and mysterious traces of memory.

Swami Dhyan Giten: The most...

The most important thing that is happening in the world right now is the emerging of the new man.Since the monkeys, man has remained the same, but a great revolution is on it`s way. When monkeys became man, it created the mind. With the new man, a great revolution will bring the soul in. Man will not just be a mind, a psychological being, he will be a spiritual being.This new consciousness, this new being, is the most important thing, which is happening in the world today. But the old man will be against the emerging of the new man, the old man will be against this new consciousness.The new man is a matter of life and death, it is a question of the survival of the whole earth. It is matter of survival of consciousness, of survival of life itself.The old man has become utterly destructive. The old man is preparing for a global suicide right now. Rather than allowing the new man, the old man would rather destroy the whole earth, destroying life itself.The old destructive man is preparing right now for a third world war. The global economical and political elite and the war industrial complex in the U.S, which runs the foreign policy of the U.S, is right now promoting for a third world war.The U.S. has over thrown the democratically elected government in Ukraine in an secret operation by the CIA, the world`s largest terrorist organization, and replaced it with a fascistic regime, a marionette for the U.S.The war industrial complex is now desperately trying to promote the third war by demonizing, lying and blaming Russia. We see the same aggression and lies from the U.S. that we have seen before against Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and Iran.President Eisenhower warned against the war industrial complex, which he considered the largest threat to democracy. President John F. Kennedy also warned against a &quot;secret conspiracy&quot; against democracy. The war industrial complex consists of the international banks, oil companies, war industry, democratically elected politicians, conservative think tanks, international mainstream media and global companies, who make profits from human suffering and wars.The European governments and the mainstream media also cooperate with the war industrial complex to bring the world into disaster.But this time it will not work as the time for wars is over, and peace loving people and people who represent the new man are working against this kind of aggression.
/Swami Dhyan Giten/

Walter J. Ciszek: ... every...

... every moment of our life has a purpose, that every action of ours, no matter how dull or routine or trivial it may seem in itself, has a dignity and a worth beyond human understanding... For it means that no moment can be wasted, no opportunity missed, since each has a purpose in man?s life, each has a purpose in God?s plan. Think of your day, today or yesterday. Think of the work you did, the people you met, moment by moment. What did it mean to you- and might it have meant for God? Is the question too simple to answer, or are we just afraid to ask it for fear of the answer we must give?
/Walter J. Ciszek/

Edward Gibbon: During the...

During the age of Christ, of his apostles, and of their first disciples, the doctrine which they preached was confirmed by innumerable prodigies. The lame walked, the blind saw, the sick were healed, the dead were raised, daemons were expelled, and the laws of Nature were frequently suspended for the benefit of the church [...] But the sages of Greece and Rome turned aside from the awful spectacle, and, pursuing the ordinary occupations of life and study, appeared unconscious of any alterations in the moral or physical government of the world. Under the reign of Tiberius, the whole earth, or at least a celebrated province of the Roman empire, was involved in a preternatural darkness of three hours. Even this miraculous event, which ought to have excited the wonder, the curiosity, and the devotion of mankind, passed without notice in an age of science and history. It happened during the lifetime of Seneca and the elder Pliny, who must have experienced the immediate effects, or received the earliest intelligence, of the prodigy. Each of these philosophers, in a laborious work, has recorded all the great phenomena of Nature, earthquakes, meteors, comets, and eclipses, which his indefatigable curiosity could collect. Both the one and the other have omitted to mention the greatest phenomenon to which the mortal eye has been witness since the creation of the globe.
/Edward Gibbon/

Oliver Sacks: Given her...

Given her deafness, the auditory part of the brain, deprived of its usual input, had started to generate a spontaneous activity of its own, and this took the form of musical hallucinations, mostly musical memories from her earlier life. The brain needed to stay incessantly active, and if it was not getting its usual stimulation..., it would create its own stimulation in the form of hallucinations.
/Oliver Sacks/

Richelle Mead: I should...

I should go,&quot; I said thickly. &quot;Let me know when you want to start practice again. And thanks for...talking.&quot;I started to turn; then I heard him say abruptly, &quot;No.&quot;I glanced back. &quot;What?&quot;He held my gaze, and something warm and wonderful and powerful shot between us.&quot;No,&quot; he repeated. &quot;I told her no.&quot;&quot;I...&quot; I shut my mouth before my jaw hit the floor. &quot;But...why? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You could have had a baby. And she...she was, you know, into you...&quot;The ghost of a smile flickered on his face. &quot;Yes, she was. Is. And that`s why I had to say no. I couldn`t return that...couldn`t give her what she wanted. Not when...&quot; He took a few steps toward me. &quot;Not when my heart is somewhere else.
/Richelle Mead/

Dalton Trumbo: If the...

If the thing they were fighting for was important enough to die for then it was also important enough for them to be thinking about it in the last minutes of their lives. That stood to reason. Life is awfully important so if you`ve given it away you`d ought to think with all your mind in the last moments of your life about the thing you traded it for. So did all those kids die thinking of democracy and freedom and liberty and honor and the safety of the home and the stars and stripes forever? You`re goddamn right they didn`t.They died crying in their minds like little babies. They forgot the thing they were fighting for the things they were dying for. They thought about things a man can understand. They died yearning for the face of a friend. They died whimpering for the voice of a mother a father a wife a child They died with their hearts sick for one more look at the place where they were born please god just one more look. They died moaning and sighing for life. They knew what was important They knew that life was everything and they died with screams and sobs. They died with only one thought in their minds and that was I want to live I want to live I want to live.He ought to know. He was the nearest thing to a dead man on earth.

The point is that if we accept nature as God?s creation, then it`s ridiculous to think that God could be a male without a female. Asexual, yes. But not a male. It goes against our entire experience of life on Planet Earth. That is, if you think that God would`ve created nature in Her own image.

Ibraheem Hamdi: You don`t...

You don`t hunt something that you can live with, you idiot. You can`t have a challenge for a lifetime, it?ll drain you out. You?ll be dead before you even know it. Someone you go all those miles for, someone you change your own skin for, someone you take pride in having managed to impress; is most probably someone you don`t live with. People you can live with are ones who complete your sentences, ones who are too comforting, ones who don`t really urge you to fall off cliffs for them, rather cheer you on by their mere presence; ones who you can exercise silence with, free and unguarded silence.

Pierce Brown: Death isn`t...

Death isn`t empty like you say it is. Emptiness is life without freedom, Darrow. Emptiness is living chained by fear, fear of loss, of death. I say we break those chains. Break the chains of fear and you break the chains that bind us to the Golds, to the Society. Could you imagine it? Mars could be ours. It could belong to the colonists who slaved here, died here.&quot; Her face is easier to see as the night fades through the clear roof. It is alive, on fire. &quot;If you led the others to freedom. The things you could do, Darrow. The things you could make happen.&quot; She pauses and I see her eyes are glistening. &quot;It chills me. You have been given so, so much, but you set your sights so low.&quot;&quot;You repeat the same damn points,&quot; I say bitterly. &quot;You think a dream is worth dying for. I say it isn`t. You say it`s better to die on your feet. I say it`s better to live on our knees.&quot;&quot;You`re not even listening!&quot; she snaps. &quot;We are machine men with machine minds, machine lives ?&quot; &quot;And machine hearts?&quot; I ask. &quot;That`s what I am?&quot;&quot;Darrow ?&quot; &quot;What do you live for?&quot; I ask her suddenly. &quot;Is it for me? Is it for family and love? Or is it just for some dream?&quot;&quot;It`s not just some dream, Darrow. I live for the dream that my children will be born free. That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.&quot;&quot;I live for you,&quot; I say sadly. She kisses my cheek. &quot;Then you must live for more.

When I was no longer of the world, I would miss its extravagant beauty. I would miss the complex and charming layers of subterfuge by which the truth of the world`s mysteries were withheld from us even as we were tantalized and enchanted by them. I would miss the kindness of good people who were compassionate when so many were pitiless, who made their way through so much corruption without being corrupted themselves, who eschewed envy in a world of envy, who eschewed greed in a world of greed, who valued truth and could not be drowned in a sea of lies, for they shone and, by the light they cast, they warmed me all my life.

Gabriel Chevallier: I carry...

I carry my liberty with me. It is in my thoughts, in my head. Shakespeare is one of my countries, Goethe another. You can change that badge that I wear, but you can`t change the way I think. It is through my intellect that I can escape the roles, intrusions, and obligations with which every civilisation, every community would burden me. I make myself my own homeland through my affinities, my choices, my ideas, and no one can take it away from me ? I may even be able to enlarge it. I don`t spend my life in the company of crowds but individuals. If I could pick fifty individuals from each nation, then perhaps I could put together a society I?d be happy with. My first possession is myself; better to sent it into exile than to lose it, to change a few habits rather than terminate my role as a human being. We only have one homeland: the world.

Marie Brennan: Your people...

Your people understand the forest: how the animals behave, where to find them, and so on. I want something similar?but instead of the forest as a whole, I want to understand dragons. They are not only here, you know; there are dragons in the savannah?? Mekeesawa nodded. ?Well, there are more than that, all over the world. They live in the mountains and on the plains and maybe even in the ocean. I want to know them as you know the creatures of this forest.??But why?? Mekeesawa asked. His eyes were still merry with laughter, but his question was serious. ?You don`t live in all those places.?With the amount of time I have spent traveling in my life, one might make the argument that I do live in all those places, if only temporarily. But Mekeesawa?s point was a good one, and not easily dismissed. The Moulish understood the creatures of the Green Hell because their survival depended on it; my survival did not depend on my traveling the globe to find dragons. (Indeed, it has on more than one occasion nearly been detrimental to my life expectancy.) How could I answer him?Thinking back on the matter now, it is possible my only true answer to that question is now in its second volume, with more to come. These memoirs are not only an accounting of my life; they are an accounting *for* it.

He took the hand that wasn`t holding the bou­quet of wildflowers and stared at it, holding it so tightly that she thought he might crack her bones. Then his hold gentled. He slipped a gold ring onto her finger and lifted his gaze to hers.?I`m not a brave man; I?ll never be a hero, but I love you more than life itself, and I will until the day I die. With you by my side, I`m a better man than I`ve ever been alone. I`m scared to death that I?ll let you down, but I won`t run this time. I?ll stand firm and face the challenge and work hard to see that you never have any regrets. You told me once that you wanted to share a corner of my dream. Without you, Amelia, I have no dream. With you, I have everything I could ever dream of wanting.?Tears burned her eyes as he glanced back at the preacher. ?I`m done.?-Houston to Amelia as his wedding vow.

Werner Heisenberg: In the...

In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with the religious interpretation of the world. Although I an now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on, Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of though, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point.

I was sitting at home and had a profound experience. I experienced, in all of my Being, that someday I was going to die, and it wouldn`t be like it had been happening, almost dying but somehow staying alive, but I would just die! And two things would happen right before I died: I would regret my entire life; I would want to live it over again. This terrified me. The thought that I would live my entire life, look at it and realize I blew it forced me to do something with my life.
/Hubert Selby Jr./

L.M. Montgomery: A broken...

A broken heart in real life isn`t half as dreadful as it is in books. It`s a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won`t think THAT a very romantic simile. It takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it.
/L.M. Montgomery/

Miles Anthony Smith: Being others-focused...

Being others-focused instead of self-focused changes your worldview. Living in a selfless manner and seeking to help others enriches our very existence on a daily basis. Get your hands dirty once in a while by serving in a capacity that is lower than your position or station in life. This keeps you tethered to the real world and grounded to reality, which should make it harder to be prideful and forget where you came from.
/Miles Anthony Smith/

Nadine Gordimer: My work...

My work means that we have lived in different parts of the world and in each there has always been something to be afraid of. Gangsters, extremist political groups Right and Left tossing bombs into restaurants, hijacks, holdups, a city plumb on the line of an earthquake fault. We have long had a compact, with ourselves, with life; life is dangerous. We live with that; in the one certainty that fear is the real killer.
/Nadine Gordimer/

Jane Bennett: A life...

A life thus names a restless activeness, a destructive-creative force-presence that does not coincide fully with any specific body. A life tear the fabric of the actual without ever coming fully `out` in a person, place, or thing. A life points to ... `matter in variation that enters assemblages and leaves them. A life is a vitality proper not to any individual but to `pure immanence,` or that protean swarm that is not actual though it is real: `A life contains only virtuals. It is made of virtualities.
/Jane Bennett/

Some people come in your life and make you believe that your life is incomplete without them. Then they leave, creating a void in your heart that may fill back with time but will never be complete.

Yuval Noah Harari: When humans...

When humans began cultivating the land, they thought that the extra work this required will pay off. `Yes, we will have to work harder. But the harvest will be so bountiful! We won`t have to worry any more about lean years. Our children will never go to sleep hungry.` It made sense.If you worked harder, you would have a better life. That was the plan.The first part of the plan went smoothly. People indeed worked harder. But people did not foresee that the number of children would increase, meaning that the extra wheat would have to be shared between more children.Neither did the early farmers understand that feeding children with more porridge and less breast milk would weaken their immune system, and that permanent settlements would be hotbeds for infectious diseases.They did not foresee that by increasing their dependence on a single source of food, they were actually exposing themselves even more to the depredations of drought. Nor did the farmers foresee that in good years their bulging granaries would tempt thieves and enemies, compelling them to start building walls and doing guard duty.

Friedrich Nietzsche: [Anything which]...

[Anything which] is a living thing and not a dying body... will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant - not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power... `Exploitation`... belongs to the essence of what lives, as a basic organic function; it is a consequence of the will to power, which is after all the will of life.
/Friedrich Nietzsche/

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: &quot;For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.&quot; 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mehek Bassi: A feeling...

A feeling struck me one fine day that people call ?love?,Before that my life was empty, all I had was loneliness and sorrow?I loved the way it felt being with him, for I felt up above,Now everything was complete and nothing remained hollow?That person who cupid made me fall for, was a God descended from heavens,I loved him with all I had, a true heart and a pure soul?I thought I achieved the meaning of life, never did I felt so glad,But when he left me amidst a chaos, I had no one with me to console?I cried, it hurt, I wept and screamed, everyone called me ?mad?,And still I wonder if in my life, that actually was his role?But a string still binds me to my past of untold vow,Some unsaid promises that linger between us even now,Although I don`t know where he went after that fateful day?I still try to convince myself every day, I know how,Each moment has been tough, each day a new challenge?Each hour passed as if it was my heart that always allowed,One more day to live without him, one more day to cherish?One more day to spend without the love of my life somehow,But he doesn`t know that one day, the girl herself would perish?Who loved him and lived each day of her life in his wait,For the man who never returned, for the man who wasn`t in her fate?

Nicholas Sparks: And I...

And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.

Why me?&quot; she asked, holding on to him.&quot;Because you cared,&quot; he whispered. &quot;You cared so much for your people, it broke your heart to see the pack in ruins.

Joanna Russ: I think,"...

I think,&quot; said my neighbour, her chin very high in the air (and still spiffed, I am glad to say) &quot;that women who`ve never married and never had children have missed out on the central experiences of life. They are emotionally crippled.&quot;Now what am I supposed to say to that? I ask you. That women who`ve never won the Nobel Peace Prize have also experienced a serious deprivation? It`s like taking candy from a baby; the poor thing isn`t allowed to get angry, only catty. I said, &quot;That`s rude, and silly,&quot; and helped her to mashed potatoes.....&quot;You can`t catch a man.&quot;&quot;That`s why I`ll never be abandoned,&quot; said I. Fortunately she did not hear me. Did I say taking candy from babies? Rather, eating babies, killing babies, abandoning babies. So sad, so easy.

Pulvis et umbra sumus. It`s a line from Horace. `We are dust and shadows`. Appropriate, don`t you think?&quot; Will said. &quot;It`s not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense. And then we vanish into the shadows of history, nary a mark on the page of a mundane book to remind the world that once we existed at all.

Why?d you want to kill yourself? Didn`t you feel anything, or didn`t it hurt you?? Mandy questioned, looking puzzled. ?Yes, I suppose it did, ? it was strange, it was sharp, that?s all I can think of to describe it? and cold, but not cold like ice, more like? I don`t know, like something much worse, something horrible? and it seemed like the ground was falling upwards, becoming the sky? for a moment it made me consider that it was just a dream, that I was on some sort of drug, and then I remember being overjoyed to see the sky was still above me, then just really sad, really tired? and then I don`t remember much else about it,? Alecto told her, glaring straight ahead at the sky with narrowed eyes. ?I don`t mind, I`m not supposed to mind, anyway. Mearth already told me that eventually I would want to be dead, that it was inevitable? still, I sometimes wish that I could have done something good for other people in my life, it might have made up for all the bad stuff I`ve done.

And the crazy part of it was even if you were clever, even if you spent your adolescence reading John Donne and Shaw, even if you studied history or zoology or physics and hoped to spend your life pursuing some difficult and challenging career, you still had a mind full of all the soupy longings that every high-school girl was awash in... underneath it, all you longed to be was annihilated by love, to be swept off your feet, to be filled up by a giant prick spouting sperm, soapsuds, silk and satins and, of course, money.

David Eagleman: Although we...

Although we credit God with designing man, it turns out He`s not sufficiently skilled to have done so. In point of fact, He unintentionally knocked over the first domino by creating a palette of atoms with different shapes. Electron clouds bonded, molecules bloomed, proteins embraced, and eventually cells formed and learned how to hang on to one another like lovebirds. He discovered that by simmering the Earth at the proper distance from the Sun, it instinctively sprouted with life. He`s not so much a creator as a molecule tinkerer who enjoyed a stroke of luck: He simply set the ball rolling by creating a smorgasbord of matter, and creation ensued.
