Living Quotes

Psychoanalysis has taught that the dead – a dead parent, for example – can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts Picture Quote #1

Learn to trust your instincts. Only something dead goes with the tide. Only something living can go against it Picture Quote #1

42. Most people will spend their lives doing jobs that they don’t particularly enjoy, and will eventually save up enough money to stop doing those jobs just in time to start dying instead. Don’t be one of those people. There’s a difference between living, and just surviving. Do something that you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do. It really is that simple. And that hard Picture Quote #1

When common objects in this way be come charged with the suggestion of horror, they stimulate the imagination far more than things of unusual appearance; and these bushes, crowding huddled about us, assumed for me in the darkness a bizarre grotesquerie of appearance that lent to them somehow the aspect of purposeful and living creatures. Their very ordinariness, I felt, masked what was malignant and hostile to us Picture Quote #1

Love life first, then march through the gates of each season; go inside nature and develop the discipline to stop destructive behavior; learn tenderness toward experience, then make decisions based on creating biological wealth that includes all people, animals, cultures, currencies, languages, and the living things as yet undiscovered; listen to the truth the land will tell you; act accordingly Picture Quote #1

Nothing was easy, and sometimes she failed, and sometimes she thought that the fairy stories were right, that there must indeed be easier ways of living happily ever after; but defeat is a poor ending to any tale, so she kept trying Picture Quote #1

Something in my gut twisted so hard that it felt like I was being tickled by an invisible hand, and it took me a moment to realize what it was. Hope. It had been so long since I’d felt it that the sensation was like something living inside me, something wonderful waiting to break free, just like I was Picture Quote #1

Of everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines. Belonging to everyone and being equal to everyone, useful, always built with a sense, on the spot where most human needs are crossing, they are more durable than other buildings and they do not serve for anything secret or bad Picture Quote #1

It was a though we’d been living for a year in a dense grove of old trees, a cluster of firs, each with its own rhythm and character, from whom our bodies had drawn not just shelter but perhaps even a kind of guidance as we grew into a family Picture Quote #1

They had created themselves together, and they always saw themselves, their youth, their love, their lost youth and lost love, their failures and memories, as a sort of living fiction Picture Quote #1

All this long human story, most passionate and tragic in the living, was but an unimportant, a seemingly barren and negligible effort, lasting only for a few moments in the life of the galaxy. When it was over, the host of the planetary systems still lived on, with here and there a casualty, and here and there among the stars a new planetary birth, and here and there a fresh disaster Picture Quote #1

Fortunately for me, I’m still evolving into the person I’m supposed to be. And though they don’t know it yet, and may not come to accept it, I’m done living by their protocols or anyone else’s. I’m the only one who will take credit for my successes. And I’m the only one who will take the blame for my mistakes. From now on, I live for me Picture Quote #1

The living carry us inside them like pearls. We survive only so long as they remember us Picture Quote #1

As for history, we are living in its ruins. And as for biographies, we are living with the consequences of all the decisions ever made in them. I tend not to read them for pleasure. It’s not unlike carefully scrutinizing the map when one has already reached the destination Picture Quote #1

To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope Picture Quote #1

If vampires ever spend less time playing theatrics and living down to their stereotypes, they might actually take over the world someday Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about being a victim; you start to think it’ll happen to you on a regular basis. It’s living with the reality of your own vulnerability, and it sucks Picture Quote #1

Love isn’t about living in fear. It’s not about controlling the hearts of those around you. It is patient and kind. It endures and believes the very best. It never gives up Picture Quote #1

If you did not indulge in fantasies, how else would you know if you were living an interesting life? Picture Quote #1

The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing so for a long time Picture Quote #1

We cried and sobbed and wept and bled tears. But when we were finished, all we could do was continue living Picture Quote #1

He felt that there is a loose balance of good and evil, and that the art of living consists in getting the greatest good out of the greatest evil Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it funny to think that this magnificent piece of matter is in a state of decay? Really, can you think of any other living thing that looks this glorious as it’s dying? Picture Quote #1

A man doesn’t say I will starve myself to death to keep from starving, or that he’d spend all of his money to save money. Why should he be willing to die for the privilege of living? Picture Quote #1

I’m living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong Picture Quote #1

I wonder is happiness only an essence of good living, that you shall taste only once or twice while you live, and then go on living with the taste in your mouth, and wishing you had the fullness of it solid between your teeth, like a good meal that you have tasted and cherished and look back in your mind to eat again Picture Quote #1

Everyone pretends to be normal and be your best friend, but underneath, everyone is living some other life you don’t know about, and if only we had a camera on us at all times, we could go and watch each other’s tapes and find out what each of us was really like Picture Quote #1

It is better to live presently. By living thus, perhaps we can learn to understand the nature of this fragile coexistence we share with the world around us Picture Quote #1

Squeezing the lives of people is now being proposed as the saviour of the planet. Through the green economy an attempt is being made to technologise, financialise, privatise and commodify all of the earth’s resources and living processes Picture Quote #1

We are here because over billions of years, countless variables fell into place, any of which could have taken another path. We are essentially a beautiful fluke, as are the millions of other species with which we share this planet. Our cells are composed of atoms and dust particles from distant galaxies, and from the billions of living organisms that inhabited this planet before us Picture Quote #1
