Living Quotes

I wanted to curl up into a fetal position and start sucking my thumb, let my tears and dripping saliva pool under me. Sorry. I tried living, tried being sentient. Can’t do it. Can’t live in the same universe with that Picture Quote #1

One afternoon, when I was four years old, my father came home, and he found me in the living room in front of a roaring fire, which made him very angry. Because we didn’t have a fireplace Picture Quote #1

He was going through one of those moments that you read about in books, when a character reacts in an unexpectedly extreme way to the normal discontents of living Picture Quote #1

Each soldier was the living image of the others, but there was one who was a bit different. He had only one leg, for he was the last to be cast and the tin had run out. Still, there he stood, just as steadfast on his one leg as the others on their two; and he is the tin soldier we are going to hear about Picture Quote #1

Children are often envied for their supposed imaginations, but the truth is that adults imagine things far more than children do. Most adults wander the world deliberately blind, living only inside their heads, in their fantasies, in their memories and worries, oblivious to the present, only aware of the past or future Picture Quote #1

You were right and I was wrong. When life hurts more than death, it is not worth living Picture Quote #1

Being a failure at living your own life as best as you can is better than being a success living the life somebody else says you should live Picture Quote #1

There is in certain living souls a quality of loneliness unspeakable, so great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this that in immensity there is one lonelier than you Picture Quote #1

In the world I notice persons are nearly always stressed and have no time... I don’t know how persons with jobs do the jobs and all the living as well... I guess the time gets spread very thin like butter all over the world, the roads and houses and playgrounds and stores, so there’s only a little smear of time on each place, then everyone has to hurry on to the next bit Picture Quote #1

I felt that I was really living in the moment. I did not know where my life was going, but right now the future did not trouble me Picture Quote #1

I’m writing mostly to thank you for living you eighty years and to tell you I love you and think of you often Picture Quote #1

With my hand in his, I looked at all the apartment buildings with rushes of love, peering in the wide streetside windows that revealed living rooms painted in dark burgandies and matte reds Picture Quote #1

What folly made young people, even those in middle age, think they were immortal? How much better, their lives, if they could remember the end. Carrying your death with you every day would make it hard to waste time on unkindness and anger and bitterness, on anything petty. That was the secret: remembering your dying time, in order to keep the stupid and the ugly out of your living time Picture Quote #1

What you fear your whole life comes to pass. You end up living toward it, you spend your life running from it but your foot is nailed to the sidewalk. You circle around it until you wear yourself own Picture Quote #1

I felt his hot tears and the loneliness of man and the sweetness of all men and the aching haunting beauty of the living Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has lived through it, or those who are now living through it, knows that caring about an addict is as complex and fraught and debilitating as addiction itself Picture Quote #1

Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life Picture Quote #1

That’s what I’m living on now, honey, dreams, dreams of what I used to do Picture Quote #1

We all have that moment in life when something terrible happens for the first time. Something so unexpected, so awful, that it takes the magic out of the world. Life becomes harder, colder. And everything we do in our lives, from that day on, is our way of coping with that one moment. We stop living and we merely exist. We either choose to move on from that, or we let it consume us Picture Quote #1

Living is very serious, very real. It is also always a game. If we are wise, it is very real, very terrible, and very lovely, and a good deal of fun Picture Quote #1

She would always be living her life backwards, she realized, trying to regain something perfect that she’d lost Picture Quote #1

… the truest writers are those who see language not as a linguistic process but as a living element… Picture Quote #1

The first time I started choreographing was in the dark, in my living room, with the lights completely out, to some popular music on the radio. I put the radio on full blast and I started moving. I didn’t know what it looked like. I didn’t want to see it... I had to start in the dark Picture Quote #1

She knew that this was happiness, this was living as she had always wished to live Picture Quote #1

And she was terribly aware that she was alive. Not just living and breathing, but... alive Picture Quote #1

Suddenly, and for the first time, he was at the center of his own life, living it and loving it Picture Quote #1

I pulled in a soft breath. My lungs were starving, crying out for air. I lay still, and a cough tickled at the back of my throat. It always happens when you’re hiding, a cough, a sneeze, something. It’s stupid. The body decides to screw around with you, even though it knows being quiet is the only way it’s going to go on living Picture Quote #1

I cannot believe this is the end. Nor can I believe that death is more than the blindness of those living. And if this is only the consolation of a heart in its necessity, or that easy faith born of despair, it does not matter, since it gives us courage somehow to face the mornings. Which is as much as the heart can ask at times Picture Quote #1

Such physical matters were nice, yet, to him, intelligence and passion born of living, the ability to move and be moved by subtleties of the mind and spirit, were what really counted Picture Quote #1

Humans impart meaning and purpose to almost all aspects of life. This sense of meaning and purpose gives us a road map for how to live a good life. This guidance emerges spontaneously from the interactions of human beings living in societies and thinking together about how best to get along. It doesn’t require a God or sacred text Picture Quote #1
