Existential Quotes

When in the evening we are alone with our most existential thoughts, it is then that we come face to face with the most precious truths that we discover in our brief existence in this world. Just before fatigue envelopes us, taking us into sleep. We think of what our lives actually mean. And then we know how lucky we are if we still enjoy consciousness, rationality and love. But the greatest of these is love Picture Quote #1

The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill, are all typical reactions to these experiences in altered states of consciousness. The previous fear of death is typically quelled. If the individual generally remains thereafter in the existential state of awareness, the deep internal feeling of eternity is quite profound and unshakable Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it has to do with other longings that are much more existential. Sometimes you go elsewhere not because you are not liking the one you are with; you are not liking the person you have become Picture Quote #1

I think living in our culture right now, there’s a universal experience where we feel like we become what we do. Sometimes that’s rewarding and sometimes that creates an existential crisis Picture Quote #1

When you are totally defeated you begin again to enjoy the small things around you. Just going to the mountains, not for victory or glory, but to enjoy nature or enjoy fine people. If you always succeed you enjoy the admiration of many people. Being defeated means being limited to the basis existential choices of life. If you can enjoy the quiet evening hours it is beautiful; a hero who always succeeds may not have time to enjoy such things Picture Quote #1

I don’t find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff Picture Quote #1

Human social life, I suggest, is the magma that erupts and builds up, so to speak, at the fault lines where natural human capacities meet and grind against and over natural human limitations…. This meeting of powers and limitations produces a creative, dynamic tension and energy that generates and fuels the making of human social life and social structures…. It is real human persons living through the tensions of natural existential contradictions who construct patterned social meanings, interactions, institutions, and structures Picture Quote #1

We are always doing something to cover up our basic existential anxiety. Some people live that way until the day they die Picture Quote #1

Here’s my answer to the very real existential crisis that grips me midway through everything I’ve ever tried to do: I think stories help us fight the nihilistic urges that constantly threaten to consume us Picture Quote #1

I always had an existential crisis, trying to figure out ‘what does it all mean?’ I came to the conclusion that if we can advance the knowledge of the world, if we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, then, we’re better able to ask the right questions and become more enlightened. That’s the only way to move forward Picture Quote #1

There’s a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they’re gone, there’s this new freedom to determine the way you’re going to live your life Picture Quote #1

Man lives, not directly or nakedly in nature like the animals, but within a mythological universe, a body of assumptions and beliefs developed from his existential concerns Picture Quote #1

...intimacy being reduced to its content of mere sensation, will only be the misleading, obscure, and desperate alleviation of the existential disgust and anguish of him who has stumbled into a blind alley Picture Quote #1

Whether arrived at through reason or revelation... natural law is the highest law known to man. It is anchored in the very existential nature of man and is therefore a priori just Picture Quote #1

Im interested in existential films: I love movies that console you in the same way that a person consoles a weeping child Picture Quote #1

Sometimes my poetry is an attempt to keep off existential terror; sometimes it is a grappling with philosophical problems; sometimes just fun Picture Quote #1

My understanding of life is very existential. I think that we are our bodies. There’s nothing else, and when we die, that’s it. No afterlife Picture Quote #1

About every year or two, there is a moment of truth where there’s some new development in the marketplace, some new technology, some sort of existential crisis. You just have to be vigilant about looking out for those moments Picture Quote #1

No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth Picture Quote #1

I see that children fill the existential hollowness many people feel; that when we have children, we know they will need us, and maybe love us, but we don’t have a clue how hard it is going to be Picture Quote #1

For existential mathematics, which does not exist, would probably propose this equation: the value of coincidence equals the degree of its improbability Picture Quote #1

I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you Picture Quote #1

Being on the spiritual path means you want to be a success in an existential sphere, not just on a social level Picture Quote #1

The truth is that since childhood I had cultivated an existential independence. It came from perceiving the adults around me as unreliable, and without it I felt I wouldn’t have survived. I cared deeply for everyone in my family, but in the end I depended on myself Picture Quote #1

You can’t win enough, you can’t have enough money, you can’t succeed enough. There is not enough. The only thing that will ever satiate that existential thirst is love. And I just remember that day I made the shift from wanting to be a winner to wanting to have the most powerful, deep, and beautiful relationships I could possibly have Picture Quote #1

I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false Picture Quote #1

The existential split in man would be unbearable could he not establish a sense of unity within himself and with the natural and human world outside Picture Quote #1

Being here: in a particular time and place. That is the existential position with particular implications for literature Picture Quote #1

Nietzsche, driven by the absolute demand of his existential truthfulness, could not abide the bourgeois world, even when its representative had human nobility Picture Quote #1
