Hello everyone read now some Collection of Quotes about Life.
“Darling, when things go wrong in life, you lift your chin,
put on a ravishing smile, mix yourself a little cocktail...”
― Sophie Kinsella
“Sometimes I'm real cool, but sometimes I could be a real
asshole. I think everyone is like that.”
― Eminem
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is
Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny
Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds
unbelievable.”
― Kevin Max
“Man who hates cats is insecure, but a man who likes them is
one worth keeping. If he can appreciate a cat, he can appreciate a strong,
independent woman.”
― Larissa Ione, Passion Unleashed
“America was in full swing now, all the papers said so, and
people were rushing forward, leaving behind the horrors of war. She understood
the reasons, but they were rushing, like Lon, toward long hours and profits,
neglecting the things that brought beauty to the world.”
― Nicholas Sparks, the Notebook
“Sexual frenzy is our compensation for the tedious moments
we must suffer in the passage of life. 'Nothing in excess,' professed the
ancient Greeks. Why if I spend half the month in healthy scholarship and
pleasant sleep, shouldn't I be allowed the other half to howl at the moon and
pillage the groins of Europe's great beauties?”
― Roman Payne
“A crowd whose discontent has risen no higher than the level
of slogans is only a crowd. But a crowd that understands the reasons for its
discontent and knows the remedies is a vital community, and it will have to be
reckoned with. I would rather go before the government with two people who have
a competent understanding of an issue, and who therefore deserve a hearing,
than with two thousand who are vaguely dissatisfied.
But even the most articulate public protest is not enough.
We don't live in the government or in institutions or in our public utterances
and acts, and the environmental crisis has its roots in our lives. By the same
token, environmental health will also be rooted in our lives. That is, I take
it, simply a fact, and in the light of it we can see how superficial and
foolish we would be to think that we could correct what is wrong merely by
tinkering with the institutional machinery. The changes that are required are
fundamental changes in the way we are living.”
― Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian
Essays
“In my food world, there is no fear or guilt, only joy and
balance. So no ingredient is ever off-limits. Rather, all of the recipes here
follow my Usually-Sometimes-Rarely philosophy. Notice there is no Never.”
― Ellie Krieger, the Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a
Healthy Life
“Going green doesn’t start with doing green acts — it starts
with a shift in consciousness. This shift allows you to recognize that with
every choice you make, you are voting either for or against the kind of world
you wish to see. When you assume this as a way of being, your choices become
easier. Using a reusable water bottle, recycling and making conscious daily
consumer choices are just a few…”
― Ian Somerhalder
“She lived frugally, but her meals were the only things on
which she deliberately spent her money. She never compromised on the quality of
her groceries, and drank only good-quality wines.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
“What is it you do, then? I'll tell you: You leave out
whatever doesn't suit you. As the author himself has done before you. Just as
you leave things out of your dreams and fantasies. By leaving things out, we
bring beauty and excitement into the world. We evidently handle our reality by
effecting some sort of compromise with it, an in-between state where the
emotions prevent each other from reaching their fullest intensity, graying the colors
somewhat. Children who haven't yet reached that point of control are both
happier and unhappier than adults who have. And yes, stupid people also leave
things out, which is why ignorance is bliss. So I propose, to begin with, that
we try to love each other as if we were characters in a novel who have met in
the pages of a book. Let's in any case leave off all the fatty tissue that
plumps up reality.”
― Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities Vol. 1: A Sort of
Introduction and Pseudo Reality Prevails
“The household was pervaded by this atmosphere of a calm
adult woman and a man who gave into animal impulses. She reported to him in
great detail what her analyst ... said about his binges and his hostility; she
used Charley's money to pay Dr. Andrews to catalog his abnormalities. And of
course Charley never heard anything directly from the doctor; he had no way of
keeping her from reporting what served her and holding back what did not. The
doctor, too, had no way of getting to the truth of what she told him; no doubt
she only gave him the facts that suited her picture, so that the doctor's
picture of Charley was based on what she wanted him to know. By the time she
had edited both going and coming there was little of it outside her control.”
― Philip K. Dick, Confessions of a Crap Artist
“On one hand she seems so agile, so athletic, and yet I've
seen her appear so awkward that it embarrassed me. She gives the impression of
a hard, worldly adroitness, and in some situations she's like an adolescent:
rigid with ancient, middle class attitudes, unable to think for herself,
falling back on old verities...victim of her family teaching, shocked by what
shocks people, wanting what people usually want. She wants a home, a husband,
and her idea of a husband is a man who earns a certain amount of money, helps
around the garden, does the dishes...the idea of a good husband that's found in
This Week magazine; a viewpoint from the most ordinary stratum, that great
ubiquitous world of family life, transmitted from generation to generation.
Despite her wild language.”
― Philip K. Dick, Confessions of a Crap Artist
“Most killers have pretty average lifestyles. Steady jobs
too. Sometimes they're even living the family life-white picket fence and a
four-door sedan. That's what makes them so scary. They act human and they slot
into society and since a young age they've known how to hide the crazy; they
put it up on a shelf and only bring it out on special occasions.”
― Paul Cleave, The Killing Hour
“O bliss of the collector, bliss of the man of leisure! Of
no one has less been expected and no one has had a greater sense of well-being
than... a collector. Ownership is the most intimate relationship one can have
to objects. No t that they come alive in him; it is he who comes alive in
them.”
― Walter Benjamin
“To expel hunger and thirst there is no necessity of sitting
in a palace and submitting to the supercilious brow and contumelious favor of
the rich and great there is no necessity of sailing upon the deep or of
following the camp What nature wants is everywhere to be found and attainable
without much difficulty whereas require the sweat of the brow for these we are
obliged to dress anew j compelled to grow old in the field and driven to
foreign mores A sufficiency is always at hand”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic
