Living Quotes - page 10

Good, to forgive;
Best, to forget!
Living, we fret;
Dying, we live. (Robert Browning)

That we devote ourselves to God, is seen In living just as though no God there were.

Robert Browning

While thoughts exist, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living.

Cyril Connolly

Now a writer can make himself a nice career while he is alive by espousing a political cause, working for it, making a profession of believing in it, and if it wins he will be very well placed. All politics is a matter of working hard without reward, or with a living wage for a time, in the hope of booty later. A man can be a Fascist or a Communist and if his outfit gets in he can get to be an ambassador or have a million copies of his books printed by the Government or any of the other rewards the boys dream about.

Ernest Hemingway

That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions.

George Santayana

When you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light.

Carol Ann Duffy

No matter how bad things get, you've got to go on living, even if it kills you.

Sholem Aleichem

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.

Richard Bach

Technology is not neutral. We're inside of what we make, and it's inside of us. We're living in a world of connections - and it matters which ones get made and unmade.

Donna Haraway

I'm excited by the band [White Stripes]. It really excites me. But it wouldn't excite me if there weren't those limitations, if we weren't living in that box, if we weren't trapped. Once that goes away, then I'll know that it's not worth doing it any more. (Jack White)

Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one's own need to think.

Adolf Eichmann

People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

E. E. Cummings

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

E. E. Cummings

I am always astonishing myself. It is the only thing that makes life worth living.

Thomas Browne

Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls but the shadows of the living. All things fall under this name. The sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and light but the shadow of God.

Thomas Browne

António Lobo Antunes

Bertrand Russell

So is man's heart. The desire to perform a work which will endure, which will survive him, is the origin of his superiority over all other living creatures here below. It is this which has established his dominion, and this it is which justifies it, over all the world.

Jules Verne
