/Teri Garr/

Michael Parkinson: I think...

I think life without Coronation Street would be unthinkable. It's part of all our lives.
/Michael Parkinson/

Hermann Hesse: Now everything...

Now everything changed. My childhood world was breaking apart around me. My parents eyed me with a certain embarrassment. My sisters had become strangers to me. A disenchantment falsified and blunted my usual feelings and joys: the garden lacked fragrance, the woods held no attraction for me, the world stood around me like a clearance sale of last year's secondhand goods, insipid, all its charm gone. Books were so much paper, music a grating noise. That is the way leaves fall around a tree in autumn, a tree unaware of the rain running down its sides, of the sun or the frost, and of life gradually retreating inward. The tree does not die. It waits.
/Hermann Hesse/

Mary Kay Ash: Pretend that...

Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, 'Make me feel important.' Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.

When people say there is too much violence in my books, what they are saying is there is too much reality in life.
/Joyce Carol Oates/

No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.

/Rachel Carson/

Tay Hohoff: There are...

There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat.
/Tay Hohoff/

Charles Peirce: It is...

It is the man of science, eager to have his every opinion regenerated, his every idea rationalized, by drinking at the fountain of fact, and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth, not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it, that ought properly to be called a philosopher.
/Charles Peirce/

Jeanne Calment: Always keep...

Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.
/Jeanne Calment/

Edward Zwick: To me...

To me this movie is about what is valuable. To one person it might be a stone; to someone else, a story in a magazine; to another, it is a child. The juxtaposition of one man obsessed with finding a valuable diamond with another man risking his life to find his son is the beating heart of this film.
/Edward Zwick/

Mimi Schmir: You know...

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
/Mimi Schmir/

/Alexis Carrel/

Ayn Rand: That which...

That which you call your soul or spirit is your conciousness, and that which you call 'free will' is your mind's freedom to think or not, the only will you have, your only freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your life and your character.
/Ayn Rand/

Jean Paul: The guardian...

The guardian angels of life fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us.
/Jean Paul/

Jim Valvano: We need...

We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.

Hans Urs von Balthasar: But the...

But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation.
/Hans Urs von Balthasar/

Lemony Snicket: Unless you...

Unless you have been very, very lucky, you have undoubtedly experienced events in your life that have made you cry. So unless you have been very, very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.
/Lemony Snicket/

My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

Bernice Johnson Reagon: The Smithsonian...

The Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife, actually, was an effort to put something on the mall in Washington so American tourists could walk through America, and in their minds everything on the mall would be American.

Steve Irwin: We've evolved...

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
/Steve Irwin/

Isaac Asimov: Life is...

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
/Isaac Asimov/

Marcel Proust: When the...

When the mind has a tendency to dream, it is a mistake to keep dreams away from it, to ration its dreams. So long as you distract your mind from its dreams, it will not know them for what they are; you will always be being taken in by the appearance of things, because you will not have grasped their true nature. If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time. One must have a thorough understanding of one’s dreams if one is not to be troubled by them; there is a way of separating one’s dreams from one’s life which so often produces good results that I ask myself whether one ought not, at all costs, to try it, simply as a preventive, just as certain surgeons make out that we ought, to avoid the risk of appendicitis later on, to have all our appendices taken out when we are children.
/Marcel Proust/

Lynn Redgrave: I believe...

I believe I have lots of time. I have to believe that, that it won't come back, and that that's why I'm in good hands. But I also do live my life by putting nothing off.
/Lynn Redgrave/

With my poems, I finally won even my mother. The longest wooing of my life.

/Cicero/

Cecil Taylor: If you...

If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process.
/Cecil Taylor/

William James: These then...

These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
/William James/

John Muir: The beauty...

The beauty and completeness of a wild apple tree living its own life in the woods is heartily acknowledged by all those who have been so happy as to form its acquaintance. The fine wild piquancy of its fruit is unrivaled, but in the great question of quantity as human food wild apples are found wanting. Man, therefore, takes the tree from the woods, manures and prunes and grafts,plans and guesses, adds a little of this and that, selects and rejects, until apples of every conceivable size and softness are produced, like nut galls in response to the irritating punctures of insects. Orchard apples are to me the most eloquent words that culture had ever spoken, but they reflect no imperfection upon Nature's spicy crab.
/John Muir/

Rachel Carson: One summer...

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. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will.
/Rachel Carson/

Thomas Merton: Each one...

Each one of us has some kind of vocation. We are all called by God to share in His life and in His Kingdom. Each one of us is called to a special place in the Kingdom. If we find that place we will be happy. If we do not find it, we can never be completely happy. For each one of us, there is only one thing necessary: to fulfill our own destiny, according to God's will, to be what God wants us to be.
/Thomas Merton/

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
/Albert Camus/

Pearl S. Buck: I am...

I am comforted by life's stability, by earth's unchangeableness. What has seemed new and frightening assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge. It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.
/Pearl S. Buck/

Hugh Jackman: Becoming a...

Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings.
/Hugh Jackman/

John Walters: We know...

We know that if we can prevent kids from trying drugs in their teenage years, we dramatically reduce the likelihood that they will go on to have problems later in life.
/John Walters/

Maya Angelou: Jealousy in...

Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening.

As I grew up, I was continually to suffer hardships in different realms of life - in my family, in my relationship to Japanese society and in my way of living at large in the latter half of the twentieth century.
/Kenzaburo Oe/

Alicia Machado: Beauty is...

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.
/Alicia Machado/

Albert Schweitzer: The thinking...

The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another, even the lowliest creature; to do so is to renounce our manhood and shoulder a guilt which nothing justifies.
/Albert Schweitzer/

Joseph Conrad: Woe to...

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
/Joseph Conrad/

Righteous Brothers: If you...

If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand.
/Righteous Brothers/

Louis Kronenberger: The trouble...

The trouble with America isn't that the poetry of life has turned to prose, but that it has turned to advertising copy.

Ken Salazar: While it...

While it is important to maintain a balanced approach to solving our nation's energy problems, we must commit ourselves to recognize some areas as 'off limits,' and the Artic National Wildlife Reserve is a national symbol of that commitment.
/Ken Salazar/

Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

Peter O'Toole: Life turned...

Life turned out much better than I thought. I knew after a little while that I could act.
/Peter O'Toole/

Dixie Lee Ray: They fail...

They fail to recognize the broad biological principle that organic material is constantly being recycled. Everything has a time of being - a birth, a life span, and a death.
/Dixie Lee Ray/

We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.

You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people's maps will be the same.

An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.
/Maria Callas/

Paul Gascoigne: The drink?...

The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia.
/Paul Gascoigne/

/Horace/

George Steiner: Words that...

Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life.
/George Steiner/

Hilliary Heard: The joy...

The joy of life and its affairs of happiness digress into a pain of lost height. So, in all happiness there is sadness. That of a depressed state of losing, a time which no enjoyment can fervor the full amount because of the hidden realization of drowning in the opposites.
/Hilliary Heard/

Amy Tan: The forbidden...

The forbidden things were a great influence on my life. I was forbidden from reading A Catcher in the Rye.
/Amy Tan/

/Siobhan Fahey/

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

/Stella Adler/

Victor Hugo: Life is...

Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
/Victor Hugo/

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: It was...

It was only when I lay there on the rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the fIrst stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not between states nor between social classes nor between political parties, but right through every human heart, through all human hearts. And that is why I turn back to the years of my imprisonment and say, sometimes to the astonishment of those about me, bless you, prison, for having been a part of my life.
/Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn/

Franz Kafka: Hesitation before...

Hesitation before birth. If there is a transmigration of souls then I am not yet on the bottom rung. My life is a hesitation before birth.
/Franz Kafka/

Swami Dhyan Giten: Life is...

Life is our teacher. Life communicates with us all the time and it is a lesson to see how life continuously has led me to the people I need to met, to the situations I need to experience, and to the places I need to be. There has never been any real reason to worry since all small individual rivers are already on their way to the ocean, to the Whole. It is not about swimming, it is about relaxing and to float with the river in a basic trust that life already leads towards the sea of consciousness, towards the Whole.
/Swami Dhyan Giten/

Albert Einstein: Nothing will...

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

Stress is the trash of modern life - we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life.
/Danzae Pace/
