life quotes
- Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story. (John Barth) [life]
- Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love. (Georges Bataille) [life/reality/love]
- Eroticism is assenting to life even in death. (Georges Bataille) [life/death]
- A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing. (Georges Bataille) [life/truth/mind/moment]
- The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in --telephonic, technological and relational --to alter even the slightest bit of behavior in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work. (Jean Baudrillard) [price/life/high/think]
- Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void. (Jean Baudrillard) [eyes/film/life]
- Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children; (Henry Ward Beecher) [death/life]
- Love is the river of life in the world. (Henry Ward Beecher) [love/life]
- In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot. (Henry Ward Beecher) [business/life/genius]
- We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning. (Henry Ward Beecher) [life/sun/morning]
- Riches are not an end of life, but an instrument of life. (Henry Ward Beecher) [life/life]
- Life would be a perpetual flea hunt if a man were obliged to run down all the innuendoes, inveracities, and insinuations and misrepresentations which are uttered against him. (Henry Ward Beecher) [life]
- Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God. (Henry Ward Beecher) [wine/human/life/life]
- Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. (Ludwig van Beethoven) [music/life]
- Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun. (Hilaire Belloc) [loss/death/life/shadow]
- The destructive character lives from the feeling, not that life is worth living, but that suicide is not worth the trouble. (Walter Benjamin) [character/feeling/life/suicide]
- Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received. (Walter Benjamin) [food/life/company/]
- The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions. (Walter Benjamin) [construction/life/present/power]
- Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text. (Walter Benjamin) [memory/life]
- We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations. (Walter Benjamin) [life/foundations]
- Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of. (Walter Benjamin) [amount/time/life/form]
- Counsel woven into the fabric of real life is wisdom. (Walter Benjamin) [life/wisdom]
- Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life. (Arnold Bennett) [happiness/take/life]
- You wake up in the morning, and your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive. (Arnold Bennett) [morning/universe/life/take]
- Life is 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it. (Irving Berlin) [life/take]
- For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life. (William Blake) [life/life]
- True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat. ( Napoleon I) [heroism/being/life]
- Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms. (Elizabeth Bowen) [life]
- We are given one life, and the decision is our whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live. (Omar Nelson Bradley) [life/decision/mind]
- Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads. (Andre Breton) [wife/shadow/life/future]
- Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions. (Andre Breton) [point/mind/life/death]
