Existential Quotes

A man’s concern, even his despair, over the worthwhileness of life is an existential distress but by no means a mental disease Picture Quote #1

One doesn’t do existential therapy as a freestanding separate theory; rather it informs your approach to such issues as death, which many therapists tend to shy away from Picture Quote #1

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death Picture Quote #1

Right after ‘Raymond’ I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don’t like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. ‘What is my purpose? Who am I?’ I had a big identity crisis Picture Quote #1

My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage Picture Quote #1

I really like that homosexuality is a little bit of an existential puzzle Picture Quote #1

Once you’re alienated, you’re on your own. That takes you to the world of the existential, where things just kind of float Picture Quote #1

All the cliches are true about parenting. All I’ve ever wanted to do is be a father, but there’s this existential mirror that’s held up when you have a kid Picture Quote #1

Optimism... is neither weak nor naive. It can be tough and pure and earned just as clearly as any brooding existential despair Picture Quote #1

Philosophy would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. It should strive to be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem. Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity Picture Quote #1

Human beings are remarkably resilient. When you think about it, our species has been teetering upon the edge of the existential cliff since Hiroshima. In short, we endure Picture Quote #1

Sci-Fi is the genre that explored both possibilities: the end of our existential crisis and the end of our existence. My novel, The 5th Wave, explores the latter scenario, because, frankly, I believe it represents the likeliest outcome of an extraterrestrial encounter. In short, if theyre out there, we better hope they never find us Picture Quote #1

Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if ‘I’m good.’ You don’t find oak trees having existential crisis. ‘I feel so rotten about myself. I don’t produce as much acorns as the one next to me.’ Picture Quote #1

A lot of times when you do things where you’re killing people, the character is always having an existential crisis about it. It’s fun to be no-holds-barred and have no big crisis of conscious Picture Quote #1

People still have existential anxiety. It just may not be expressed in Hebraic idiom Picture Quote #1

In my work, it’s simultaneously realities, instead of parallel. Simultaneous avoids the problem of alternate reality. In parallel reality, there’s always a hierarchy, and there doesn’t necessarily have to be a hierarchy. When you’re in a palace like Blenheim, you’re supposed to be in awe - why not be in awe of something different than the stuff they’re showing you? It’s about finding your own existential place Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to spend much time in Shanghai before you start to get all existential about the meaning of authenticity. Did you know that Shanghai is building nine satellite towns, each designed to mimic the architecture and culture of a different country? Picture Quote #1

I respect most boxers because they’re violent people who learned to discipline themselves ... a good boxer is an artist ... Boxing is existential - some fights are better than others Picture Quote #1

When I see a room full of people pedaling away on stationary bikes, I fall into an existential spiral. It’s confirmation that all we do as humans is pedal, pedal, pedal, and go nowhere. We’re just specks of dust in the universe, riding 1970s stationary bicycles Picture Quote #1

I always tell people that revelling in big ideas for me is kind of like an antidote to existential angst Picture Quote #1

My films require that the spectator ask the big existential questions. If you’re not interested of turning inwards for answers, my films won’t fulfill their whole purpose Picture Quote #1

Black America surely faces an existential crisis, but not the one imagined in the condescending news media - of somehow getting non-black America to be more just and generous. The truth is, we’ve already been through that, and there is nothing left to do. We’re out of ‘affirmative actions’ of all kinds 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

I reject the idea that there is some sort of existential clash of civilizations. I am an interventionist, but not a militarist. War should always be a last resort Picture Quote #1

My favorite movie is ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales’ with Clint Eastwood, a guy who gets his family killed by the bad guys then goes on a journey of revenge, eventually discovering himself - very existential 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

I feel there’s an existential angst among young people. I didn’t have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb Picture Quote #1

There’s a real existential anxiety at having to exist not just in a generalised social framework, but a capitalist social framework Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to use the language of today to express a general existential crisis that I think the world and I are going through 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
