Cave Quotes

I’m gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world Picture Quote #1

You have to be extreme to be exceptional. I couldn’t revel in being number one. I had to get to zero. When my fitness was at its peak, I was intimidating. I made guys cave in. They’d be dejected in the locker room after matches, and I’d go out for a run, as if it wasn’t enough. I’d rub it in their faces. I meant to do that Picture Quote #1

Stories were primarily verbal to begin with. Before there were cave paintings, stories were told over generations. We tell each other thousands of stories in the course of everyday life Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it. Like my heart’s going to cave in Picture Quote #1

I got a man cave. I play my music loud. I bought big speakers because I need to hear music loud Picture Quote #1

Massive, massive mentality. The mental strength, you’ve just got to have that because you get a lot of stick, as a goalkeeper you’re the last line of defence. When a goal goes in everyone looks at you, you’ve got to be able to deal with that. If you make a mistake, it could be a bad mistake, how are you going to recover? Are you going to react positively or are you just going to cave in? Picture Quote #1

Literature is love. I think it went like this: drawings in the cave, sounds in the cave, songs in the cave, songs about us. Later, stories about us. Part of what we always did was have sex and fight about it and break each other’s hearts. I guess there’s other kinds of love too. Great friendships. Working together. But poetry and novels are lists of our devotions. We love the feel of making the marks as the feelings are rising and falling. Living in literature and love is the best thing there is. You’re always home Picture Quote #1

Discussing religion was like discussing which cave will be better to live. If you want to follow a religion, follow any religion. It does not matter. If you have decided to commit suicide, does it matter how you do it? Picture Quote #1

Plato described ordinary life as unthinking, lived in a dim cave of shadowy reflections, but said that it is possible to leave the cave and see things in sunlit clarity as they actually are Picture Quote #1

Endure, put up with whatever comes your way, learn to overcome weakness and pain, push yourself to breaking point but never cave in. If you don’t learn that lesson, you’ll never succeed as an elite athlete Picture Quote #1

There is scarce a cave, an isolated rock, a lone pine tree or a pile of stones without supporting folklore Picture Quote #1

We are not cave dwellers anymore, we live in the age of technology. When someone needs a car, he does not need to build it. He can buy it. When someone needs a murder, he himself does not need to kill. He can order it Picture Quote #1

Honestly, the essence of publishing hasn’t changed. Since the days of the cave man carving stuff on the cave walls, people have wanted stories, and storytellers have wanted an audience. That is still the case. The changes are really a matter of format Picture Quote #1

We fret about words, we writers. Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality. And the more portentous, more general the word, the more they can also resemble rooms or tunnels. They can expand, or cave in. They can come to be filled with a bad smell. They will often remind us of other rooms, where we’d rather dwell or where we think we are already living. They can be spaces we lose the art or the wisdom of inhabiting. And eventually those volumes of mental intention we no longer know how to inhabit will be abandoned, boarded up, closed down Picture Quote #1

There’s this cave and all humanity is in it and there’s this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody’s afraid of it Picture Quote #1

I’m the least fanciful guy around, but on nights when I wonder whether there was any point to my day, I think about this: the first thing we ever did, when we started turning into humans, was draw a line across the cave door and say: Wild stays out. What I do is what the first men did. They built walls to keep back the sea. They fought the wolves for the hearth fire Picture Quote #1

Come into my lap and sit in the center of your soul. Drink the living waters of memory and give birth to yourself. What you unearth with stun you. You will paint the walls of this cave in thanksgiving Picture Quote #1

As crude a weapon as a cave man’s club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life Picture Quote #1

I know I have great inner strength; I always have. I can blank things out, cut people out, and I know that I can go and live in a cave on my own if necessary Picture Quote #1

I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that’s where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is Picture Quote #1

About once a week I think about going and living in a cave and meditating instead. I think that would be a more peaceful life, where my spiritual journey was not interrupted by egomania so regularly Picture Quote #1

I would get a lot of writing done if I lived in isolation in a cave under a swamp Picture Quote #1

A man in a cave or in a camp, a nomad, will die with no more estate than the wolf or the horse leaves Picture Quote #1

In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day’s caravan Picture Quote #1

I’d rather live in a cave with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a cave Picture Quote #1

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it’s an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline Picture Quote #1

Thus it was that in obedience to the law laid down by his mother, and in obedience to the law of that unknown and nameless thing, fear, he kept away from the mouth of the cave Picture Quote #1

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along Picture Quote #1

Some are nice and some aren’t. Some are smart, and others are about as bright as a wet match in a dark cave. In other words, pretty normal Picture Quote #1

How you’re still always trapped. How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning Picture Quote #1
