A little chill touched him and he looked down at the bright plastic grass, wondering why it had to be a part of every funeral. It looked like exactly what it was: a cheap imitation of life discreetly masking the heavy brown clods of the final earth. ~ Stephen King
Imitation Of Life quotes by Stephen King
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it. ~ John Lydon
Imitation Of Life quotes by John Lydon
I picked up an old microscope at a flea market in Verona. In the long evenings, in my imitation of life science, I set up in the courtyard and examined local specimens. Pointless pleasure, stripped of ends. The ancient contadino from across the road, long since convinced that we were mad, could not resist coming over for a look.
I showed him where to put his eye. I watched him, thinking, this is how we attach to existence. We look through awareness's tube and see the swarm at the end of the scope, taking what we come upon there for the full field of sight itself.
The old man lifted his eye from the microscope lens, crying.
Signore, ho ottantotto anni e non ho mai Saputo prima che cosa ci fosse in una goccia d'acqua. I'm eighty-eight years old and I never knew what was in a droplet of water. ~ Richard Powers
Imitation Of Life quotes by Richard Powers
I tend to forget or rather, rarely cash in on  -  like coupons piling up  -  the proximity of people. If I wanted, I could walk a few blocks and find a friend, a friend who is likely experiencing coincidental gloom, blahs, and Sunday doom, because if there's one thing I know to be true about New York friendships: they are intervened time and again by emotional kismet. Stupid, unprecedented quantities of it. We're all just here, bungling this imitation of life, finding new ways of becoming old friends. ~ Durga Chew-Bose
Imitation Of Life quotes by Durga Chew-Bose
It will not be possible for me to escape the past. But if I go back there, it will only be to find ways to make rich my present. To accept that there are no villains in my life, just broken people, trying to heal, stumbling in darkness and breaking each other...To stop living what has been, until now, this pale imitation of life. ~ Petina Gappah
Imitation Of Life quotes by Petina Gappah
The new birth is the creation of spiritual life, not the imitation of life. ~ John Piper
Imitation Of Life quotes by John Piper
I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead. ~ Nearly Headless Nick J.K. Rowling
Imitation Of Life quotes by Nearly Headless Nick J.K. Rowling
Of what use were the arts if they were only the reproduction and the imitation of life? ~ Alfred De Vigny
Imitation Of Life quotes by Alfred De Vigny
As I've gotten less righteous, less pedagogic, I have become more loving of the artificiality, the art form, the imitation of life in film. ~ Ira Sachs
Imitation Of Life quotes by Ira Sachs
You know the funny thing about regrets?" Jordan said, his eyes full of mischief. "You don't know you're going to have them until afterwards. ~ Lynette Noni
Imitation Of Life quotes by Lynette Noni
Maintain balance in life; not unlike a tire, a life out of balance results in a rough ride and needless wear and tear. ~ Glenn A. Maltais
Imitation Of Life quotes by Glenn A. Maltais
The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life takes place. ~ Barbara De Angelis
Imitation Of Life quotes by Barbara De Angelis
Decide.

Take one of the most unsettling things you feel exist in your life and decide.

Decide to meet it with love and understanding.
Decide to meet it with a proactive spirit that believes that a solution, an ease, a peaceful resolve rests in the meeting.

Prepare your heart for what it feels like to be joyous over the result. Give life to this solution with your breath.

Let any fear be a helpmate, let it actually support and lift you to an awareness that your next opportunity for growth is revisiting you through this present unsettling because you are now more than capable and authentically ready to meet it.

Learn and value the lesson and transcend its repetitive nature. ~ David Ault
Imitation Of Life quotes by David Ault
Faith walks simply, childlike, between the darkness of human life and the hope of what is to come. ~ Catherine Doherty
Imitation Of Life quotes by Catherine Doherty
What sort of ideas, I wondered, might help to give meaning to life when one is in the midst of fundamentalist persons of all kinds who believe that they have a monopoly on truth and some are even willing to kill to prove that? ~ Gurcharan Das
Imitation Of Life quotes by Gurcharan Das
Life became an interruption of my description of it. ~ Richard Powers
Imitation Of Life quotes by Richard Powers
Before long, my blood would not permit a halt of even a day or two. Something ceaselessly set me to work; my body could no longer tolerate indolence, but began instantly to thirst for violent action, forever urging me on. Thus for many a day I led a life that others might well dismiss as frenzied obsession. ~ Yukio Mishima
Imitation Of Life quotes by Yukio Mishima
Work hard with passion and courage. Life is a marathon of contribution. You really must work hard to accomplish something ... Find your passion and get good at it. ~ Jeffrey R. Immelt
Imitation Of Life quotes by Jeffrey R. Immelt
I have a clear understanding of things, and no stress. A child brings regrets, not clarity. It can open up your eyes to an illusion, not a reality. But nonetheless, the gift of life is a beautiful thing; cherish it, love it, and lavish it. A birth of a child may not bring clarity, but it brings infinite love, new hope, and turns its parent(s) to a new light. ~ Lionel Suggs
Imitation Of Life quotes by Lionel Suggs
When you are in love, you have to be ready to suffer and find out the meaning of love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Imitation Of Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
Out of nowhere, Augustus asked, do you believe in an after life? ~ John Green
Imitation Of Life quotes by John Green
The only reason why I tend to pass on a movie is either I don't think I'm right for the material and can't play it honestly, or because of time constraints with personal things in my life. ~ Nicolas Cage
Imitation Of Life quotes by Nicolas Cage
Shyness, inexhaustible source of misfortunes in practical life, is the direct cause, indeed unique, each inner wealth. ~ Emil Cioran
Imitation Of Life quotes by Emil Cioran
There are free men with the spirit of a slave, and slaves whose spirit is full of freedom. He who is true to his inner self is a free man, while he whose entire life is merely a stage for what is good and beautiful in the eyes of others, is a slave. ~ Abraham Isaac Kook
Imitation Of Life quotes by Abraham Isaac Kook
Now that she's the carrier of life, she is closer to death, and needs special security. ~ Margaret Atwood
Imitation Of Life quotes by Margaret Atwood
But still, my heart beats. It dreams. It wonders. And most dangerous of all, it hopes, because despite its smallness, this hope is still a great something ~ Emalynne Wilder
Imitation Of Life quotes by Emalynne Wilder
We're painting the same people all our life - it's just the way we look at them that changes. If you experience trauma, you can speak about it in so many different ways. You can speak about landscape, you can speak about your food; it's always different. Trauma is the beginning of life as an artist. ~ Christian Boltanski
Imitation Of Life quotes by Christian Boltanski
A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate; sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister. ~ Ruhollah Khomeini
Imitation Of Life quotes by Ruhollah Khomeini
Create simple ways to prove the Divine exists in every aspect of your life and then make the choice to cast your gaze only upon those things that make your heart sing loudest. ~ Molly Friedenfeld
Imitation Of Life quotes by Molly Friedenfeld
I think it is cruel to expect the constant presence of any one family member (to tend to the ill). Just as we have to breathe in and breathe out, people have to "recharge their batteries" outside the sickroom at times, live a normal life from time to time; we cannot function efficiently in the constant awareness of illness. I have heard many relatives complain that members of the family went on pleasure trips over weekends or continued to go to the theater or movie. They blamed them for enjoying things while someone at home was terminally ill. I think it is more meaningful for the patient and his family to see that the illness does not totally disrupt a household or completely deprive all members of any pleasurable activities; rather, the illness may allow for a gradual adjustment and change toward the kind of home it is going to be when the patient is no longer around...The family too has a need to deny or avoid the sad realities at times in order to face them better when their presence is really needed. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Imitation Of Life quotes by Elisabeth Kubler Ross
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student. ~ Oliver Goldsmith
Imitation Of Life quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Reade drew a deep breath. He said with resignation, "All right. I'll try to explain. But it's rather difficult. You see, I've devoted my life to the problem of why certain men see visions. Men like Blake and Boehme and Thomas Traherne. A psychologist once suggested that it's a chemical in the bloodstream - the same sort of thing that makes a dipsomaniac see pink elephants. Now obviously, I can't accept this view. But I've spent a certain amount of time studying the action of drugs, and taken some of them myself. And it's become clear to me that what we call 'ordinary consciousness' is simply a special, limited case. . . But this is obvious after a single glass of whiskey. It causes a change in consciousness, a kind of deepening. In ordinary consciousness, we're mainly aware of the world around us and its problems. This is awfully difficult to explain. . ."

Fisher said, "You're being very clear so far. Please go on."

"Perhaps an analogy will help. In our ordinary state of consciousness, we look out from behind our eyes as a motorist looks from behind the windscreen of a car. The car is very small, and the world out there is very big. Now if I take a few glasses of whiskey, the world out there hasn't really changed, but the car seems to have grown bigger. When I look inside myself, there seem to be far greater spaces than I'm normally aware of. And if I take certain drugs, the car becomes vast, as vast as a cathedral. There are great, empty spaces. . . No, ~ Colin Wilson
Imitation Of Life quotes by Colin Wilson
Books can change your life. Some of the most influential people in our lives are characters we meet in books. ~ David McCullough
Imitation Of Life quotes by David McCullough
Sometimes when you're struggling to see kindness in the world, you need to be the creator of it to remind yourself it does exist. ~ Truth Devour
Imitation Of Life quotes by Truth Devour
Well, the reality of her father was that he was a very diseased alcoholic, who died at the age of 34. And one always has to pause to wonder how much you have to drink to die at 34. And he was a really tragic father. I mean, he was absolutely unreliable. He was absolutely involved with various people. He had outside families, outside children, outside wives. He made his wife's life miserable. And she [Eleanor Roosevelt]ignored all of his faults and retained this sense of him as the perfect father. ~ Blanche Wiesen Cook
Imitation Of Life quotes by Blanche Wiesen Cook
Like some people in life, a lot of my characters have no future. ~ Jack Tate
Imitation Of Life quotes by Jack Tate
We are evolutionary descendents of this marvellous panoply of life. And what that says unequivocally is we have an utter total obligation to make sure we have an environment that not only is good for us but is good for all living organisms. ~ Leroy Hood
Imitation Of Life quotes by Leroy Hood
You make mistakes, but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am. ~ Kim Kardashian
Imitation Of Life quotes by Kim Kardashian
He was learning the rarity in a single life, of encountering true emotion. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Imitation Of Life quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Poetry being the sign of that which all men desire, even though the desire be unconscious, intensity of life or completeness of experience, the universality of its appeal is a matter of course. ~ John Drinkwater
Imitation Of Life quotes by John Drinkwater
Imagine that you are stuck on a long train ride and must choose one of two books to read in order to pass the time: the first is a novel whose main character is an office worker who is essentially working to pay his monthly cable bill; the second is about someone who decides to travel in South America (and of course encounters various setbacks in the process), but who pushes beyond the boundaries of conventional American life. Which ... book would you pick up to read? Indeed, which of the two characters would you rather be? ~ Mark Thompson
Imitation Of Life quotes by Mark Thompson
The willingness to reach inside every part of yourself opens the door to total understanding. You place your entire identity on the line, not just an isolated part. This may sound daunting, but actually it's the most natural way to approach any situation. When you hold some part of yourself in reserve you deny it exposure to life; you repress its energy and keep it form understanding what it needs to know. ~ Deepak Chopra
Imitation Of Life quotes by Deepak Chopra
Blessed are the misfits who make their own rules and stick to them for they shall inherit peace of mind ~ Chikamso C. Efobi
Imitation Of Life quotes by Chikamso C. Efobi
Since very few things in life are worth getting into silly arguments over, I virtually don't respond at all when someone tries to persuade me otherwise. I simply take the tangent by making people smarter--it is my way to simply "bow and take my leave" instead of stooping to argue, with someone of lower intellect, lesser emotional maturity or simply lower class. It is a reasonable solution, their demeanour changes instantly. ~ Efrat Cybulkiewicz
Imitation Of Life quotes by Efrat Cybulkiewicz
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly - only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs! ~ Karl Marx
Imitation Of Life quotes by Karl Marx
If in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be 'devout' and to perform my 'religious duties', then my relationship with God will also grow arid. It becomes merely 'proper', but loveless. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Imitation Of Life quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
He lives in the hearts of those who trust in Him. Our confidence in life after death comes from these very truths. ~ Billy Graham
Imitation Of Life quotes by Billy Graham
