Anthony Liccione: Life is...

Life is very tough and fragile at the same time, it never backs down or surrenders, but will break open to reveal its beauty and ugliness. As a evening primrose that blooms in the flooding moonlight, just before being trampled upon underfoot by the four-legged frost of the night.
/Anthony Liccione/

Jon Krakauer: I read...

I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong... to measure yourself at least once.
/Jon Krakauer/

Sarah Dessen: But you...

But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future.

Arthur Schopenhauer: They tell...

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
/Arthur Schopenhauer/

Joanne Kathleen Rowling: But some...

But some part of him realized, even as he fought to break free from Lupin, that Sirius had never kept him waiting before. . . . Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him. . . . If Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him as though his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back. . . . That he really was . . .

Ayn Rand: Happiness is...

Happiness is the successful state of life, pain is an agent of death. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one`s values. A morality that dares to tell you to find happiness in the renunciation of your happiness?to value the failure of your values?is an insolent negation of morality.
/Ayn Rand/

Anne Rice: All my...

All my life,I`ve been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.
/Anne Rice/

Richard Castle: John Lennon...

John Lennon said life was what happened while you made other plans. So was death.

Arthur Rubinstein: Of course...

Of course there is no formula for success, except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life, and what it brings
/Arthur Rubinstein/

Jarod Kintz: I live...

I live my life by a code. I drew on the Magna Carta for inspiration. It may have been the most expensive doodle ever. The British Library kicked me out, and threatened to prosecute me if they couldn`t repair the documents.
/Jarod Kintz/

Hubert Selby Jr.: I was...

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/

Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha: Your life...

Your life is a screenplay, you must be the author; direct and make it a success.

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/

Archibald MacLeish: Conventional wisdom...

Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man's life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
/Archibald MacLeish/

-Steven Cuoco: What we...

What we see and believe about our self is what life will give back in return.

May the Lord direct your life`s journey.

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/

Anmol Rawat: Some people...

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.
/Anmol Rawat/

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.
