Longer Quotes

The number of children is not growing any longer in the world. We are still debating peak oil, but we have definitely reached peak child Picture Quote #1

Beyond the profound federal perks, married people make more money; we’re healthier, physically and emotionally; we produce happier, more stable and more successful kids; we have more sex than our supposedly swinging single friends; we even live longer Picture Quote #1

The richer we are, the longer we live. And the longer we live, the more expensive it is to take care of our diseases as we get older Picture Quote #1

Our mothers give us so many gifts. They give us the precious gift of life, of course, but they also leave treasured lessons that can guide us along our journeys even when they are no longer with us Picture Quote #1

As one grows older, the sense of separateness is slowly reduced. Old people do not live on an ego level. Their concerns are not about their individuality but about the river of life, the family, the community, the nation, people, animals, nature, life. They can die easily if they are assured that life will continue positively, for they feel part of the river again, and soon they will be part of the ocean. When they are very old, they no longer belong to our time and space, but to all time and all space Picture Quote #1

There is no longer any religion when there is no longer any privileged religion. Take from religion its exclusive power and it will no longer exist Picture Quote #1

Institutions are becoming naked, and if you’re going to be naked … fitness is no longer optional. If you’re going to be naked, you better get buff Picture Quote #1

Courage is holding on one minute longer than everyone else. Courage is stepping forward when every fiber of your being says step back. Courage is being willing to do the impossible because it is the right thing to do Picture Quote #1

Time is as necessary for remembering as it is for forgetting. Even the smallest embrace of pain needs time larger than a pause; the greatest pause requires an eternity, the greatest hurt a lifetime. A lifetime is longer than eternity: an eternity can exist without human presence Picture Quote #1

In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects, but are one reality Picture Quote #1

To deprive a gregarious creature of companionship is to maim it, to outrage its nature. The prisoner and the cenobite are aware that the herd exists beyond their exile; they are an aspect of it. But when the herd no longer exists, there is, for the herd creature, no longer entity, a part of no whole; a freak without a place. If he cannot hold on to his reason, then he is lost indeed; most utterly, most fearfully lost, so that he becomes no more than the twitch in the limb of a corpse Picture Quote #1

Somethings get easier. You get more confident in your abilities and you learn what kind of stories sell and what don’t. But your standards kept going up with your skills, the business aspect of writing grows more complicated, and it becomes really hard to maintain any semblance of a balanced life the longer you’re at this. No matter what level you’re at, writing is always difficult Picture Quote #1

The theory of evolution is impossible. At base, in spirit of appearances, no one any longer believes in it... Evolution is a kind of dogma which the priests no longer believe, but which they maintain for their people Picture Quote #1

Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach Picture Quote #1

When you are surrounded by something so big that requires you to change everything about the way you think and see the world, then denial is the natural response. But the longer we wait, the bigger the response required Picture Quote #1

The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled Picture Quote #1

We are no longer the same after hearing certain sounds, and this is more the case when we hear organized sounds, sounds organized by another human being: music Picture Quote #1

The only difference is that religion is much better organized and has been around much longer, but it’s the same story with different characters and different costumes Picture Quote #1

Poor people of all colors are getting poorer and our communities are getting more toxic. There is a misconception that to grow our economy we will have to do business as usual, because cleaning up the environment, mitigating climate change is just too costly. Well, I say the business of poverty is just too expensive a bill for humanity to pay any longer Picture Quote #1

Success... is no longer a simple ascension of steps. You need to climb sideways and sometimes down, and sometimes you need to swing from the jungle gym and establish your own turf somewhere else on the playground Picture Quote #1

I knew it was time to leave when I realized I could no longer look students in the eye and tell them what a great place this was to work Picture Quote #1

I’m no longer accepting the things I cannot change... I’m changing the things I cannot accept Picture Quote #1

If you have a higher reason... than just to make money... it will bring you longer fulfillment. And it won’t feel like work Picture Quote #1

Of all human activities, apart from the procreation of children, gardening is the most optimistic and hopeful. The gardener is by definition one who plans for and believes and trusts in a future, whether in the short or the longer term Picture Quote #1

I knew I was going bald when it was taking longer and longer to wash my face Picture Quote #1

Women would be better off when they no longer needed men more than they needed their own independent identities... How long a time it took me after my divorce to understand that being alone is not the same as being lonely Picture Quote #1

Trust in someone means that we no longer have to protect ourselves. We believe we will not be hurt or harmed by the other, at least not deliberately. We trust his or her good intentions, though we know we might be hurt by the way circumstances play out between us. We might say that hurt happens; it’s a given of life. Harm is inflicted; it’s a choice some people make Picture Quote #1

Early in my career I discovered that there was something really special about photographing at night that places your mind on the surface of the planet. You’re no longer just a human being walking around in the regular world. You’re a human animal striding around on the surface of the planet that’s out in the middle of the galaxy. We as a culture, we’re forgetting that we are actually natural organisms and that we have this very deep connection and contact with nature. You can’t divorce civilization from nature. We totally depend on it Picture Quote #1

As I get older I see that running has changed for me. What used to be about burning calories is now more about burning up what is false. Lies I used to tell myself about who I was and what I could do, friendships that cannot withstand hills or miles, the approval I no longer need to seek, and solidarity that cannot bear silence. I run to burn up what I don’t need and ignite what I do Picture Quote #1

What I’ve noticed is that people who love what they do, regardless of what that might be, tend to live longer Picture Quote #1
