life quotes
- Learn to reject friendship, or rather the dream of friendship. To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art, or life (like aesthetic joys). I must refuse it in order to be worthy to receive it (Simone Weil) [joy/art/life/order]
- Every perfect life is a parable invented by God. (Simone Weil) [perfect/life/god]
- Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it. (Simone Weil) [imagination/life/influence/needs]
- Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our life. (Simone Weil) [imagination/more/life]
- When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder. (Simone Weil) [class/people/life/value]
- Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure. (Simone Weil) [life/order]
- The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy. (Steven Weinberg) [universe/human/life]
- Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe. (Alfred North Whitehead) [life/universe]
- Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language. (Alfred North Whitehead) [human/life/language]
- The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy. (Alfred North Whitehead) [youth/life]
- Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me. (Walt Whitman) [life/slave/life/willpower]
- Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world. (Elie Wiesel) [life]
- The first duty of life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one as yet discovered. (Oscar Wilde) [life]
- There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not. (Oscar Wilde) [ignorance/life/culture]
- I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works. (Oscar Wilde) [genius/life/talent]
- We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible. (Oscar Wilde) [life/experience/life/experience]
- The American father is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher. (Oscar Wilde) [life/family]
- Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life. (Oscar Wilde) [basis/family/life]
- I know, of course, how important it is not to keep a business engagement, if one wants to retain any sense of the beauty of life. (Oscar Wilde) [business/beauty/life]
- Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. (Oscar Wilde) [love/life/garden]
- A kiss may ruin a human life. (Oscar Wilde) [kiss/human/life]
- Anybody can write a three-volume novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature. (Oscar Wilde) [ignorance/life/literature]
- We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death. (Oscar Wilde) [life/press/mind/desires]
- The man who says he has exhausted life generally means that life has exhausted him. (Oscar Wilde) [life/life]
- If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life. (Oscar Wilde) [willpower/life]
- Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose. The nineteenth century, as we know it, is largely an invention of Balzac. (Oscar Wilde) [literature/life]
- It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style. (Oscar Wilde) [tragedies/life/absolute/absurd]
- In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin. (Oscar Wilde) [life]
- Life would be dull without them. (Oscar Wilde) [life]
- The great things in life are what they seem to be. And for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, often are very difficult to interpret (understand). Great passion are for the great of souls. Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine. (Oscar Wilde) [life/strange/sound/pleasure]
- Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets. (Oscar Wilde) [life/art/music]
