In this world, people always find a way of doing what they want

The dead neither see nor ear.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The dead are emotionless.

Lailah Gifty Akita

As for what concerns me in particular I have only in my life carried to an extreme what you have not dared to carry halfway, and what's more, you have taken your cowardice for good sense, and have found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that perhaps, after all, there is more life in me than in you. Look into it more carefully! Why, we don't even know what living means now, what it is, and what it is called? Leave us alone without books and we shall be lost and in confusion at once. We shall not know what to join on to, what to cling to, what to love and what to hate, what to respect and what to despise. We are oppressed at being men--men with a real individual body and blood, we are ashamed of it, we think it a disgrace and try to contrive to be some sort of impossible generalised man. We are stillborn, and for generations past have been begotten, not by living fathers, and that suits us better and better. We are developing a taste for it. Soon we shall contrive to be born somehow from an idea.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Half awake and almost dead. But yet we were breathing and yet we were waiting...Waiting for a miracle to happen.

M.L van de Weetering

Let the dead bury the dead...

Everyone at every minute of his life must feel something. Only the dead have no sensations.

Konstantin Stanislavski

I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.

Nothing says you're more sexy than when you wear clothes.

Anthony T.Hincks

That we cannot rise equal to situations when we are in them — that is the tragedy of life.

Apparently even the most awful tragedies, and the people they'd ruined, got a little stale after a while.

There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.

Marcus Aurelius

It seemed to him that life's true tragedy was to lift up one's voice among the living and be met with indifference.

Cristina García

Hope? Hope is not the absence of tragedy, my friend. It is the conviction that tragedy can be endured. Hope is the spark in you that is not subdued in the face of the vast and callous indifference of the universe. Hope is that which is not shattered by hardship. Hope is the urge to fight what is wrong even when you know it will destroy you. Hope is the decision to love and need someone knowing that they will one day die. For me to promise that there are no obstacles would be the cruelest lie I could possibly tell. That lie is not hope. Hope is the will which needs no lies.

But in life, a tragedy is not one long scream. It includes everything that led up to it. Hour after trivial hour, day after day, year after year, and then the sudden moment: the knife stab, the shell burst, the plummet of the car from a bridge.

Margaret Atwood

The tragedy of life is that sometimes we get what we want.

W Somerset Maugham

Life is a mystical and tragic thing. It is a journey often full of fear, when it ought to be full of hope. It's fascinating to look back on your life and feel as though most of it was a precursor to the rest of it; to what was always supposed to be.

L.K. Hill

When something is tragic you never really forget it.

But when you realize that the story of your life could be told a thousand different ways, that you could tell it over and over as a tragedy, but you choose to call it an epic, that's when you start to learn what celebration is. When what you see in front of you is so far outside of what you dreamed, but you have the belief, the boldness, the courage to call it beautiful instead of calling it wrong, that's celebration.

Shauna Niequist

If your life is like a tragedy it is because you have been neglecting something — most likely yourself.

Never underestimate the importance of tragedy in life. Don't fear it, make it the mirror of your life.

Debasish Mridha

In all its beautiful, tragic fragility, there was still life.

There is tragedy all around us, we pick up pieces, we find our feet and before long another turn of events stare us in the eyes; like we're some kind of magician- the fight seems endless, so I look to the world for inspiration. I observe and I watch how others face adversity, some hide from it, some master each lesson and some create a life with it... Our lessons don't define us, our integrity to keep rising after every fall is.

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world.

William Shakespeare

Most people wait until tragedy strikes before thinking about how to incorporate tragedy into their life.

Here's how you think about it: Together you constructed many things throughout your life. Then her body disappeared, but the constructions still remain. Human beings die: That's natural. But to accept her death is to lose all hope.

Michael Paterniti

You expect certain things to always be there, like the bakery on the corner, or the boy you grew up with. But when the very ground can eat you alive without warning, what's to say the ocean won't dry up? Or the stars won't suddenly shut off? Nothing is forever.

There are some souls, bright and precious, which, like gold and silver, may be subdued by the fiery trial, and yield to new moulds; but there are others, pure and solid as the diamond, which may be shivered to pieces, yet in every fragment retain their indelible characteristics.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Just the thought of you and all the universe conspires against me.

J. Limbu

I don't really wanna know what makes you leave, or when you'll be back.I just wanna know what will make me cry at your arrival.

Ade Santi

The world exists on thousands of different levels and just because some are more tragic than others, it doesn't make them any more valid. You fall into that way of thinking and you become so overwhelmed by the world's suffering, you go mad.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

A person’s tragedy does not make up their entire life. A story carves deep grooves into our brains each time we tell it. But we aren't one story. We can change our stories. We can write our own.

What is the point of living this beautiful life if you do not have a mission that ends up making the world a better place to live.

What is your quest in life?

Lailah Gifty Akita

Life is for a specific mission. Find your role and fulfill it.

Lailah Gifty Akita

I might not have faith in many things, but I do have faith in this; that the one who sent me out will allow me to finish the mission.” -Regan

Brittany L. Engels

To have a life mission is to be pivoted on the ultimate fulfilment of God’s will

Excuses, criticisms, and superstitions are vitamins for haters, but poison for the successful. Rise above!

If philosophy has to serve some really noble purpose, it must be more observant than critical towards life.

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

Aristotle

A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash to the ground.

I must go on living. And, though itmay be childish of me, I can't go on insimple compliance. From now on I muststruggle with the world. I thought thatMother might well be the last of thosewho can end their lives beautifully andsadly, struggling with no one, neitherhating nor betraying anyone. In theworld to come there will be no room forsuch people. The dying are beautiful,but to live, to survive – those thingssomehow seem hideous andcontaminated with blood.

Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore.

Herman Melville

Life without strife is a rose without thorns.Alive as one is thriving today towards tomorrow,Nowhere is the past but simply a school of memory.Dreams, wishes, goals then becomes a wheel of “wills,”Spirit of a unique being on each soul breathing.Care to ponder some matter or another?Awareness sliding towards discovery gliding…Peace, contentment, fulfillment,Enwrapped like a mirage enchantment.Soaring freely, excitingly, happily home-love-bound!Over precious moments in a breathing of a soul,Flowing high emotions, feelings, hearts in bliss.All around any season of one's existence, one asks: “Anyone out there? A heart of a soul that didn’t harden? A touch of a soul that didn’t hurt? A life of a soul that didn't love?”Sands of time, rough, warm, indefinite, simply spreading, transforming, mounting.Oasis of a soul from a desert journey, flourishing with endless beauty and security.Utmost bliss, fulfillment and contentment, under covers a struggling, hopeful soul,Laboring service, living justice, loving peace and tranquillity passed on to humanity!�

We again bear the cost of those who enjoyed their whole life while we were struggling.

Unmet desires are the source of most of the conflict and many of the struggles in our lives. When we don’t get what we want, or when and how we want it, life can get pretty ugly.

The toughest moment ever in life is the distance between struggle and success.

there is no significance in life without struggle

When we do the hard stuff for the first 20 years we will have an easier life for the 60, but if we take it easy for the first 20 then we will live a life of struggle later on.

Sometimes life just hits you, right in the face. And it’s alright. Because I, for one, think it’s kinda cool to have a black eye every now and then. And I think it’s definitely okay to have scars, and it’s definitely okay to hurt, and be in pain and show it. And that’s why we have friends in this life. And it’s why we have music.

Hayley Williams

It seems that life, in order to maintain itself, must revolt every so often against man's ceaseless attempts to master its irrational forces with his mind.

Carry me away. To where I can breathe. To where my soul can thrive again. To where I can be free. To where I can live again. Give me life. The ability to span my wings. And fly. Not fall. I never want to fall again. So help me survive. Allow me to flourish. And then let me forgive. (tattoo inscription)
