Luxury Quotes

I do not enjoy the promotional side of being a writer, to be blunt about it. Even with the little amount that is expected of me, which is nothing compared to the life of an artist. Writers can live in obscurity and come out of the woodwork with a book, then go back in. Artists don’t have that luxury Picture Quote #1

We live in a society either scarred by scarcity or spoiled by luxury. We have no idea how much is enough. We don’t know when to quit Picture Quote #1

To this day, I enjoy nature, the luxury of undisturbed wilderness, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers and deserts and their wildlife. But I also know that the greatest danger to their perpetuity is the pressure of human population Picture Quote #1

After all that corrupt poets, and more corrupt philosophers, have told us of the blandishments of pleasure, and of its tendency to soften the temper and humanize the affections, it is certain, that nothing hardens the heart like excessive and unbounded luxury; and he who refuses the fewest gratifications to his own voluptuousness, will generally be found the least susceptible of tenderness for the wants of others Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the beach. It was such a luxury to wake up to the sun and the ocean Picture Quote #1

By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt Picture Quote #1

For me the first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all my beliefs and certainties at home, and seeing everything I thought I knew in a different light, and from a crooked angle Picture Quote #1

The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets Picture Quote #1

I used to believe that love and happiness were synonymous. I was a fool. Love intensifies all emotions. Nothing is so painful o so sweet, so thrilling or so desperate... Pleasure is, after all, a luxury. It’s love thats essential. You are never so alive as when you love, never so alert, intuitive, attentive, never so smart or so compassionate Picture Quote #1

Try as much as you can to mention death. For if you were having hard times in your life, then it would give you more hope and would ease things for you. And if you were having abundant affluence of living in luxury, then it would make it less luxurious Picture Quote #1

Those who want luxury cars should buy them at market rates and not... abuse public funds Picture Quote #1

We’re in the business of luxury and there’s nothing more luxurious than being good to people, being respectful of them Picture Quote #1

A player can sometimes afford the luxury of an inaccurate move, or even a definite error, in the opening or middlegame without necessarily obtaining a lost position. In the endgame... an error can be decisive, and we are rarely presented with a second chance Picture Quote #1

You can permit yourself any liberty in the opening except the luxury of a passive position Picture Quote #1

The feeling of it to my lungs was not sensibly different from that of common air; but I fancied that my breast felt peculiarly light and easy for some time afterwards. Who can tell but that, in time, this pure air may become a fashionable article in luxury. Hitherto only two mice and myself have had the privilege of breathing it Picture Quote #1

Compassion will no longer be seen as a spiritual luxury for a contemplative few; rather it will be viewed as a social necessity for the entire human family Picture Quote #1

Simple routine have a greater impact. It is not just to cut costs that we avoid luxury hotels. We do not need fancy cars, posh titles, tailor made uniforms or other status symbols Picture Quote #1

Faith is a luxury for those who are able to ignore what the rest of us must see every day. Pessimism, distrust, and irony are the holy trinity of my religion, irony in particular Picture Quote #1

Art’s a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter. Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind. Man’s spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food Picture Quote #1

Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can’t wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but heaven has to step it up a bit. They’re basically getting by because they only have to be better than hell Picture Quote #1

I must stay under the old tree in the midst of the long grass, the luxury of the leaves, and the song in the very air. It seems as if I could feel all the glowing life the sunshine gives and the south winds calls into being Picture Quote #1

How can I ask people who work for me to travel cheaply if I am traveling in luxury? Picture Quote #1

The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That’s a danger Picture Quote #1

Luxury is... to be able to take control of one’s life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful Picture Quote #1

When a silhouette or shape is as beautiful as it is functional and relevant, that’s true luxury Picture Quote #1

Art is not entertainment. Art is not luxury goods. Art is culture. It is you and me Picture Quote #1
