Text Quotes
You want to fall, that’s all. You think it can’t go on like that. It’s as if your life is a perch on the edge of a cliff and going forward seems impossible, not for a lack of will, but a lack of space. The possibility of another day stands in defiance of the laws of physics. And you can’t go back. So you want to fall, let go, give up, but you can’t. And every breath you take reminds you of that fact. So it goes  (On The Edge Quotes) I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family  (On The Edge Quotes) Until we consider animal life to be worthy of the consideration and reverence we bestow upon old books and pictures and historic monuments, there will always be the animal refugee living a precarious life on the edge of extermination, dependent for existence on the charity of a few human beings  (On The Edge Quotes) Anything that is excellent or praiseworthy stands moment by moment on the cutting edge and must be constantly fought for. Well placed priorities always sit on the edge  (On The Edge Quotes) I’ve been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge  (On The Edge Quotes) I think it’s the misperception of addiction and living life on the edge, as if it’s cool  (On The Edge Quotes) We live in our language like blind men walking on the edge of an abyss. This language is laden with future catastrophes. The day will come when it will turn against those who speak it  (On The Edge Quotes) The patients often try to starve themselves, to hang themselves, to cut their arteries; they beg that they may be burned, buried alive, driven out into the woods and there allowed to die. One of my patients struck his neck so often on the edge of a chisel fixed on the ground that all the soft parts were cut through to the vertebrae  (On The Edge Quotes) It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn  (On The Edge Quotes) Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society  (On The Edge Quotes) I’m just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence  (On The Edge Quotes) The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself  (On The Edge Quotes) I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible  (On The Edge Quotes) It might pay to be resilient, if this was all being vulnerable and skinless got you. People didn’t stop and cluck over damage done unless you made it worth their while. Indeed, maybe it was time to rethink this whole salvation business. Or maybe I was less desperate, less teetering on the edge than I cared to admit. Now, that was a refreshing possibility  (On The Edge Quotes) For so long I have lived on the edge of an invisible world. Sometimes I feel like the scattered debris left over after the personality has fallen out of the sky  (On The Edge Quotes) There are no mistakes and it’s never boring on the edge of imagination, which is only pure spirit having a bit of fun  (On The Edge Quotes) As time goes by the memories of sitting on the edge of a bed and reading aloud with your kid are going to be very meaningful in your own mental scrapbook  (On The Edge Quotes) It’s hard to see a river all at once, especially in the mountains. Down on the plains, rivers run in their course as straightforward as time, channeled toward the sea. But up in the headwaters, a river isn’t a point where you stand. In the beginnings of the river, you teeter on the edge of a hundred tiny watersheds where one drop of water is always tipping the balance from one stream to another. History changes with each tiny event, shaping an outcome that we can only fully grasp in hindsight. And that view changes as we move farther downstream  (On The Edge Quotes) If you’re not living a life on the edge you’re taking up too much space!... You learn the most when you’re out of your comfort zone!  (On The Edge Quotes) After living on the edge, the adrenalin, some people in the military get addicted. Anything else seem boring. They have to have the excitement  (On The Edge Quotes) The sky is no longer out there, but it is right on the edge of the space you are in. The sense of colour is generated inside you. If you then go outside you will see a different coloured sky. You colour the sky  (On The Edge Quotes) And that, my friend, is how the world ends. On the edge of a precipice, with one foot over the edge, it stops, turns and goes back, leaving an empty earth of birds and insects, wind, rain and rusting weapons  (On The Edge Quotes) It’s harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I’m always kind of on the edge. I guess that’s how I play everything: on the edge of my ability  (On The Edge Quotes) I was just on the edge of getting married, and I was frenzied at the prospect of this great step in my life after having been a bachelor for so long. And I really wanted to take my mind off of the agony, and so I decided to sit down and write a book  (On The Edge Quotes) I don’t really recognise success. I don’t see myself as on an upwardly mobile trajectory. I see myself as on the edge of a cliff about to fall off  (On The Edge Quotes) I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks  (On The Edge Quotes) It’s good to be on the edge, but I have never followed my mind. I have always followed my heart. And it has yielded the right results  (On The Edge Quotes) The beauty behind killing someone who no one thinks you’re willing to kill is, of course, that you throw people out of their comfort zone. And that’s good because you want people to be on the edge of their seats  (On The Edge Quotes) Here on the edge of the river, the motifs are very plentiful, the same subject seen from a different angle gives a subject for study of the highest interest and so varied that I think I could be occupied for months without changing my place, simply bending a little more to the right or left  (On The Edge Quotes) One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space  (On The Edge Quotes)
