Life

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
- Camus, Albert
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.
Lao-Tzu

2.
Life is a horizontal fall.
Cocteau, Jean

3.
New York is not Mecca. It just smells like it.
Simon, Neil

4.
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo

5.
The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.
Mumford, Lewis

6.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph

7.
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.
Lorca, Federico Garcia

8.
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu

9.
Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.
Larkin, Philip

10.
You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
Percy, Walker

11.
Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at stars.
Dyke, Henry Van

12.
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman

13.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Life is a succession of lessons enforced by immediate reward, or, oftener, by immediate chastisement.
Dimnet, Ernest

15.
All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it -- an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.
Conrad, Peter

16.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

17.
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Douglas, Michael

18.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

19.
Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

20.
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

21.
Reality is the crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.
Tomlin, Lily

22.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

23.
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder

24.
Life without meaning cannot be borne. We find a mission to which we're sworn

25.
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

26.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
Jordan, David Starr

27.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Rogers, Carl

28.
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Ruskin, John

29.
First I was dying to finish high-school and start college. Then I was dying to finish college and start working. Next, I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school, so I could return to work. Finally, I was dying to retire. And now, I am dying

30.
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Goldsmith, Oliver

31.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

32.
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

33.
You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
Peale, Norman Vincent

34.
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou

35.
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.

36.
Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.
Holdcroft, Thomas L.

37.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Camus, Albert

39.
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Brown, Les

40.
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.

41.
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Percy, Walker

42.
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

43.
The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
Shinn, Florence Scovel

44.
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

45.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

46.
Life is a state of mind.
Warden, Jack

47.
Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
Southey, Robert

48.
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar

49.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Buddha

50.
Every time I look into the eyes of an animal I see life; the force of life and the beauty of creation
O'Reilly, Radar
