I wonder: instead of retreating and hiding, instead of pining for the way it was, what if I accept the way it is? This strikes me as both the most obvious thing in the world and the most profound.

Ann Kidd Taylor

I know that every atom of life in all this universe is bound up together. I know that pebble cannot be thrown into the ocean without distrubing every drop of water in the sea. I know that every life is inextricably mixed and woven with every other life. I know that every influence, conscious and unconscious, acts and reacts on every living organism, and that no one can fix the blame.I know that all life is a series of infinite chances, which sometimes result one way and sometimes another. I have not the infinite wisdom that can fathom it, neither has any other human brain. But I do know that in back of it is a power that made it, that power alone can tell, and if there is no power, then it is an infinite chance which man cannot solve.

Marianne Wiggins

People don’t always value life, even their own, as much as they should.

Alex Potvin

It is the transience of life which proves its inestimable worth.

D.B. Harrop

God has make life simple for us but the choices we do at the end of each day, are the ones that make our lives complicated.

Nthabiseng Motjamela

If you saw her in these moments, you might think she was collecting her thoughts in order to go forward. But I see it another way: Her mind is being overwhelmed by two processes that must simultaneously proceed at full steam. One is to deal with and live in the present world. The other is to re-experience and mourn something that happened long ago. It is as though her lightness pulls her toward heaven, but the extra gravity around her keeps her earthbound.

Steve Martin

Most days I juggle everything quite well, on the other days there's always red wine.

Rachael Bermingham

Life is real, not ideal.

Heather Muzik

Life is to be experienced in totality. Try not to blame others like spouse, parents, friends, fellow beings or situations for any suffering. .. Never allow your vibe to go to a lower level. This way you will attract more and more positive circumstances in your life.

Sakshi Chetana

I'm fifty-one years old, but I'm not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more.

Hedy Lamarr

Liam learned that it was possible to appear to move forward when you were really standing still.

Kristin Hannah

The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune.

Boris Pasternak

I do believe that some humans have more amazing lives than others–above all, those who don’t sit down in a chair like mere spectators letting their lives happen in front of them, but they take risks as heroes do, experiencing, living, becoming the main character—but no matter what, we all have at least one story to tell.

Merce Cardus

Hold love like a butterfly, with gentle preservation. Hold life like the reigns of a wild stallion, with fierce assertion. Encompass that, and you find the nectar of the immortal spirit.

Kellie Elmore

I can't really tell how old I am, only that I'm too young to wonder if I asked the right questions in the past, and too old to wish the future will bring me all the answers.

Gabriel Bá

Living your life on your terms, means No excuses and only results.

LadyTiara

There would be a lot fewer of us screwing up the game of life so brilliantly, if there was always a right answer instead of just a best--or even a less bad--answer.

Claire Cross

Live for the present, as the past has gone and the future as yet to arrive.

LadyTiara

Living is the right to exercise Freedom any time without any guilt or whatsoever. Deathis living without Freedom. Resurrection is living for the Dead. Eternity is victory overdeath and not many will taste of it." - Freddy Schofeild Mahhumane

Freddy Sipho Mahhumane

I believe bending to the will or beliefs of one person and not being an individual will eventually lead to the perpetual destruction of society today as we know it!

Paul Lee

We are as connected to each other, as time is to the clock.

Zephyr A. McIntyre

In order for us to begin something we have to start.

Zulima James

It was one of those moments that would have had dramatic music if my life were a movie, but instead I got a radio jingle for some kind of submarine sandwich place blaring over the store's ambient stereo. The movie ofmy life must be really low-budget.

Jim Butcher

Once you pass a certain age, life becomes noting more than a process of continual loss. Things that are important to your life begin to slip out of your grasp, one after another, like a comb losing teeth. And the only things that come to take their place are worthless imitations. Your physical strength, your hopes, your dreams, your ideals, your convictions, all meaning, or, then again, the people you love: one by one, they fade away. Some announce their departure before they leave, while others just disappear all of a sudden without warning one day. And once you lose them you can never get them back. Your search for replacement never goes well. It’s all very painful- as painful as actually being cut with a knife.

Haruki Murakami

[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.

Margaret Mitchell

...poetry is paying attention to life when all the world seems asleep to its beauties and truths...

John Geddes

Growing old is to be set free. It is a slow and long-simmering process that extracts you from what you are really made of. But it requires acceptance. You cannot put a flailing chicken in a boiling pot. You must accept the heat and the pain with serenity so that the full flavors of your life maybe released.

Samantha Sotto

I’ll try just putting one foot in front of the other, and walk a step at a time without rushing. So I can burn the path into my memory while I can still see it. So that when all this is over, I can find my way back. Because I intend to come back. Hopefully with all of us together.

Yukako Kabei

So you're giving up? That's it? Okay, okay. We'll leave you alone, Quasimodo. We just thought, maybe you're made up of something much stronger.

Victor Hugo

There is a little word that we can say to others now. "Thank You Very Much".

Marya Sy

And the uniqueness of every momentseeks the path from pain to a pearl.

Lina Kostenko

I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent.

Yann Martel

The pristine virtue is nothing but absolute absurdity, utter obscurity and sheer imbecility.

Chandrashekar

My parents...were people running from the past, who didn't look back at much if they could help it, and whose whole life always lay somewhere in the offing.

Richard Ford

there is no understanding between me and this worldthey don't understand me and i don't care them.

Adnan Khan

If love is like driving a car, then I must be the worst driver in the world. I missed all the signs and ended up lost.

Brian MacLearn

Living means taking chances. Risks. Playing safe all the time is being dead inside, even if you happen to still be breathing.

Ellen Hopkins

Life should be great rather than long.

B.R. Ambedkar

Some of us are crèmes brûlées, unfortunately in the presence of those who would rather have corn dogs. We can try to degenerate into corn dogs to make them happy, or we can just accept the fact that we were made for Paris!

C. JoyBell C.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.

Wallace D. Wattles

You're only as sick as your secrets.

Rick Warren

This was the first time I thought of S— that day. Her music was beautiful, her voice was beautiful, her body was beautiful. Even the dirty little pads of her feet were beautiful. I cursed myself then. For once, heaven had sent me Beauty in its most perfected form and I abandoned it. She might not have been a girl after all but an angel: a force to guide me on this hazardous path of life I hurry down. How can life be hazardous if it can only end in death?

Roman Payne

I'm working on my own life story. I don't mean I'm putting it together; no, I'm taking it apart. If you'd wanted the narrative line you should have asked earlier, when I still knew everything and was more than willing to tell. That was before I discovered the virtues of scissors, the virtues of matches.

Margaret Atwood

Maintain a receptive attitude!

Tae Yun Kim

I have at least the whole of my life to answer a question: Who am I? And who is the other? A gust of wind at dawn? A motionless landscape? A trembling leaf? A coil of white smoke above a mountain? I write all these words and I hear the wind, not outside, but inside my head. A strong wind, it rattles the shutters through which I enter the dream.

Tahar ben Jelloun

Don't be afraid to let your past and present come together to create something new

Michelle D. Argyle

Memory is a barricade against forgetting; light is a bulwark against darkness; life is a flex against the stillness of the grave. Maybe that's what I'm trying to do here, clear a space in all the debris, through all the anxieties and worries, where I can just exist, easily and simply, entire, for as long as I have left.

Helen Humphreys

Until you have experienced raccoons mating underneath your bedroom at three in the morning, you have missed one of life's sensational moments.

Robert Fulghum

If you treat an animal right, they don't run away. They're not like us. They run away from people they don't trust; most times we run away from ourselves.

Glenn Beck

Some people may like you, and some people may not, keep living your life dreams, you will succeed!

Nitra Gipson

Every morning is a reason to begin living again… in case if you have had a good sleep. If not, then begin living again, anyway, and take care of yourself!

Lara Biyuts

Keep in mind too, our failures serve to teach us, and usually teach us more than our successes do. What we may perceive as a failure is also an opportunity for someone else to rise to the occasion and perform a mitzvah, or mitzvot. Do not begrudge someone their joyous performance of mitzvot. Sometimes, perhaps even more often then you may think, what we consider our failures were blessings in disguise for ourselves, or others, or everyone. Abraham did not change the world just because he himself changed, and followed his own destiny. He changed the world through his giving others opportunities to rise to their own greatness.

Laura Weakley

So if the ties that bind ever do come looseTie them in a knot like a hangman's nooseCause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hellBefore I'll see you with someone else.

The Band Perry

How far does life take us? I don't see anything at the end.

Lisa Yaj

Without risk, we are automatons going through our days with no purpose or meaning. We are safer, perhaps, but we are also, ironically, closer to death.

Sarah Strohmeyer

What's the rush? Recognise that with the time at our disposal, there is only a limited number of good books you can read, a few really good movies worth seeing, and a finite number of hours, days, years to enjoy them!

Ken Puddicombe

There are no accusations with writing, no judgment, no shame, only freedom.

Jessica Sorensen

Jojo Moyes
