Life Quotes

I came to understand the most intriguing irony of life, that the most intimate partner of life is death. (Page 94)

~ Neena Verma

Perhaps that is why we love life so much, Anjin-san. You see, we have to. Death is part of our air and see and earth.

~ James Clavell

And just as music is the space between notes, just as the stars are beautiful because of the space between them, just as the sun strikes raindrops at a certain angle and throws a prism of color across the sky - so the space where I exist, and want to keep existing, and to be quite frank I hope I die in, is exactly this middle distance: where despair struck pure otherness and created something sublime.

~ Donna Tartt

I take great comfort in believing that life doesn't end, it just changes. Our bodies are pure energy. Energy doesn't die, it transforms. I believe that when we die, we simply change from our human form to our spiritual form and we continue to love, guide and protect the ones we love on earth, as much as our energy will allow. It is the only logical explanation that makes perfect sense. - Tanya Masse aka Comic Strip Mama

But death is not easy, and life can win by simulating it.

~ Iris Murdoch

She spent a great deal of time staring into space, oppressed by the sense that she was waiting. But waiting for what? She did not know. Surely someone would call, someone must be needing her. Yet each day proceeded like the one before. Nothing intense, nothing desperate, ever happened. Time did not move. The home, the city, the nation, and life itself were eternal; still she had a foreboding that one day, without warning and without pity, all the dear, important things would be destroyed.

~ Evan S. Connell

Do not use life to give life to death. Do not use death to bring death to life.

~ Zhuangzi

I sat in that room and realized that you can cut off a finger, cut off a hand, even cut off a leg, but if you take a woman's breast, you are cutting more than just a body part.

There is an end to everything.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

I’ve never known anyone who was saved who did not first save herself.

~ Wendy Wunder

When I look back all is flux, without beginning and flowing towards no end, or none that I shall experience, except as a final full stop. The items of flotsam that I choose to salvage from the general wreckage—and what is a life but a gradual shipwreck?—may take on an aspect of inevitability when I put them on display in their glass showcases, but they are random; representative, perhaps, perhaps compellingly so, but random nonetheless.

~ Robert Harris

Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Month become years. And years become silence.

~ Christy Hall

He could almost taste the tang of that swampy air right here in his own desert parking lot and hear the calls of the heavily beating flock, sorrowing and apologizing and making plans for some other time. Time. He realized that crows had always reminded him of time, dark time. He gazed at the backs of his hands, at the plummy dark repellent veins.

~ Joy Williams

My friends never seem to yell at their kids. Even when their kids are behaving hideously, they pull them aside and say, now sweetie, you know you shouldn't, blah, blah, blah. Please don't yadda, yadda, okay sweetie? Maybe it's some bullshit show they put on for non-family members, but I'd have to be on happy pills to act like that

~ Brenda Wilhelmson

Sometimes life has a habit of flooding over you and rushing you along in its overwhelming tide.

~ Witi Ihimaera

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him meerly seise me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a Sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

When I was in South Africa during a windy day, the zebras would not walk out into the open. The wind would carry their scent to lions, so the zebras would starve for the day in order to survive another.
