Life Quotes

Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies…that which to us is merely an evening’s meal, but to them is life itself.

~ T. Casey Brennan

~ Kenny D. Eichenberg

Let silence take you to the core of life.

~ Jalaluddin Rumi

I lay down across her with my face in her breasts and my hand on her. We lay there without moving. But under us all moved, and moved us, gently, up and down, and from side to side.(Pause. Krapp's lips move. No sound.)Past midnight. Never knew such silence. The earth might be uninhabited.

~ Samuel Beckett

A creature that hides and “withdraws into its shell,” is preparing a “way out.” This is true of the entire scale of metaphors, from the resurrection of a man in his grave, to the sudden outburst of one who has long been silent. If we remain at the heart of the image under consideration, we have the impression that, by staying in the motionlessness of its shell, the creature is preparing temporal explosions, not to say whirlwinds, of being.

~ Gaston Bachelard

There was only silence. It was the silence of matter caught in the act and embarrassed. There were no cells moving, and yet there were cells. I could see the shape of the land, how it lay holding silence. Its poise and its stillness were unendurable, like the ring of the silence you hear in your skull when you're little and notice you're living the ring which resumes later in life when you're sick.

~ Annie Dillard

What is this life! you cry out. Only silence answers, and it is eloquent. Shining eyes open in the darkness, the eyes of that face, smiling too much and too long. Without a word, that smile coerces from you an old question: Was it all so useless? The smile pushes up at its edges, too rigid to be real. You cannot look away as it widens past all natural proportion. There is nothing left but that big smile. It is the last thing you see: a great gaping mouth like the entrance to a carnival ride. Then: the sense of being swallowed. That is the story; that is the plot of our lives.

~ Thomas Ligotti

who knows your silence is screening some back stage trouble for me as I have spoken truth .

~ Litymunshi

If my journey was so easy, I would have missed out on life's invaluable lessons. From misery I learnt to comfort those in tears, from lack I learnt to give to the needy; from uncertainty I learnt to understand others and from my silence I learnt to speak for the voiceless.

~ Gugu Mona

When a man goes silent on his ways and plans, you must ponder!

~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

A mist crept into the valley—how could this be, by the light of the climbing sun? It drifted over the form in the grass, nearly obscuring it, seeming to draw all sound into itself. I thought I might burst from the strain of that silence... until a single sound shattered it:The gasp of an indrawn breath.

~ Tosca Lee

Seek O mortal, the meaning of life in your innermost silence!

~ Preeth Nambiar

The silences here are retreats of sound, like the retreat of the surf before a tidal wave: sound draining away, down slopes of acoustic passage, to gather, someplace else, to a great surge of noise.

~ Thomas Pynchon

In my silence do I enhance my talents

~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

I don't want to stand in naked silence, pathetically unaware of how to be.

~ Markus Zusak

It was either the chaos of a crowd of thoughts or the silence of solitude... nothing in between..

~ Sanhita Baruah

Our young people, raised under the old rules of courtesy, never indulged in the present habit of talking incessantly and all at the same time. To do so would have been not only impolite, but foolish; for poise, so much admired as a social grace, could not be accompanied by restlessness. Pauses were acknowledged gracefully and did not cause lack of ease or embarrassment.

~ Kent Nerburn

To Hear What Silence Is Saying, You Must Have Inner Peace. A Violent Mind Can’t Understand It....

~ Munia Khan

We are only lightly covered with buttoned cloth; and beneath these pavements are shells, bones and silence.

~ Virginia Woolf

How small life is hereand how big nothingness.The sky, tired of light,has given everything to the snow.The two trees bowtheir heads to each other.Clouds cross the world’ssilence in a circle dance

~ Robert Walser

Silence explains a lot of things.It tells us why people are who they not supposed to be.It's the fear of being afraid.It's because of their own safety.Sometimes it becomes an unexplainable feeling.It shows the insecureties, acceptation, love and vulnerabilityinside everyone of us.

~ Tessa Vanluchene

It just took some people a little longer than others to realize how few words they needed to get by, how much of life they could negotiate in silence.

~ Tom Perrotta
