You think terrible things happened on the battlefields, but terrible things happened in ordinary suburban homes. ~ Liane Moriarty
Island Life quotes by Liane Moriarty
But he knows that no man is an island. ~ Paulo Coelho
Island Life quotes by Paulo Coelho
Of course often those places went very cheap - islands didn't suit everybody. They thought the idea was romantic but when they came to live there they realised the disadvantages and were only too glad to sell. ~ Agatha Christie
Island Life quotes by Agatha Christie
Women always reveal their deepest secrets to each other. ~ Liane Moriarty
Island Life quotes by Liane Moriarty
Mr Blyth, you should remember one thing. A celibate island life fighting Turks is no particular guarantee of early maturity. Take a little crone-like advice, and don't rush your judgements. ~ Dorothy Dunnett
Island Life quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
The bright blue sky remained cloudless, and the aquamarine ocean still crashed gently onto the white sand beach, but the scene was suddenly warped. Twisted, as I processed Thad's words. ~ Lynne Matson
Island Life quotes by Lynne Matson
The Emperor Napoleon Buonaparte had been banished to the island of Elba. However His Imperial Majesty had some doubts wheter a quiet island life would suit him - he was, after all, accustomed to governing a large proportion of the known world. ~ Susanna Clarke
Island Life quotes by Susanna Clarke
Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island. ~ Nicolas Cage
Island Life quotes by Nicolas Cage
The air is sharp, and I understand why years ago sea air was prescribed as a tonic for the body. ~ Anita Shreve
Island Life quotes by Anita Shreve
Every marriage, every family, has its mysteries. ~ Liane Moriarty
Island Life quotes by Liane Moriarty
...two bitches livin on a little chunk of rock... ~ Stephen King
Island Life quotes by Stephen King
I always thought I'd make a good parent, but I was single and led a solitary life for many, many years. Then I met David, and he had experience with kids and wanted to have a family, too. ~ Neil Patrick Harris
Island Life quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
I definitely can relate to being down and closed-off at certain times in my life. ~ Aubrey Plaza
Island Life quotes by Aubrey Plaza
This is good and hot."
"I remember you used to say that about someone I know."
He shakes his head. "Give it up, Scotts. That boat sailed, sank, and got towed."
"But ... "
"No. It ain't going to happen."
He sits down next to me and I curl up next to him.
"Nicky, it's hard being a child of your divorce and probably the reason somebody is dead."
Nick raises my head with his hands and looks at me and smiles.
"Life bites, baby girl."
" ... and sucks."
Amen. ~ Angela Johnson
Island Life quotes by Angela Johnson
Love is life believing in itself ~ Manitonquat
Island Life quotes by Manitonquat
My ethical naturalism sees us as facing the predicament of being social animals without evolved adaptations that make social life easy. The fundamental problem that sparks the ethical project lies in our limited responsiveness to one another. The only way we have to address that problem is through a representative, informed, and engaged conversation. ~ Philip Kitcher
Island Life quotes by Philip Kitcher
I romanticize life the way artists see scenery or a dreamer gazes up at the stars. ~ Anastasia Bolinder
Island Life quotes by Anastasia Bolinder
The understanding and utilization of money have gone a revolutionary change over the decades. Hence from an early life do not let your finances be handled by advisors or your bank. Rather read yourself and try to gain the knowledge about the dynamics of money and its investments. ~ Sachin Mittal
Island Life quotes by Sachin Mittal
No one has the least regard for the man; with them all, he has been an object of avoidance, suspicion, and aversion; but the spark of life within him is curiously separable from himself now, and they have a deep interest in it, probably because it IS life, and they are living and must die. ~ Charles Dickens
Island Life quotes by Charles Dickens
Basketball Rule #1

In this game of life
your family is the court
and the ball is your heart.
No matter how good you are,
no matter how down you get,
always leave
your heart
on the court. ~ Kwame Alexander
Island Life quotes by Kwame Alexander
For the first time in my life, I put my body and reputation on the line to stand up for my beliefs and do the right thing. I hope I've encouraged other people to do the same. ~ Lucy Lawless
Island Life quotes by Lucy Lawless
For most of my life, I would have automatically said that I would opt for conscientious objector status, and in general, I still would. But the spirit of the question is would I ever, and there are instances where I might. If immediate intervention would have circumvented the genocide in Rwanda or stopped the Janjaweed in Darfur, would I choose pacifism? Of course not. Scott Simon, the reporter for National Public Radio and a committed lifelong Quaker, has written that it took looking into mass graves in former Yugoslavia to convince him that force is sometimes the only option to deter our species' murderous impulses.

While we're on the subject of the horrors of war, and humanity's most poisonous and least charitable attributes, let me not forget to mention Barbara Bush (that would be former First Lady and presidential mother as opposed to W's liquor-swilling, Girl Gone Wild, human ashtray of a daughter. I'm sorry, that's not fair. I've no idea if she smokes.) When the administration censored images of the flag-draped coffins of the young men and women being killed in Iraq - purportedly to respect "the privacy of the families" and not to minimize and cover up the true nature and consequences of the war - the family matriarch expressed her support for what was ultimately her son's decision by saying on Good Morning America on March 18, 2003, "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? I mean it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something ~ David Rakoff
Island Life quotes by David Rakoff
I am sitting under a sycamore by Tinker Creek. I am really here, alive on the intricate earth under trees. But under me, directly under the weight of my body on the grass, are other creatures, just as real, for whom also this moment, this tree, is "it"… in the top inch of soil, biologists found "an average of 1,356 living creatures in each square foot… I might as well include these creatures in this moment, as best as I can. My ignoring them won't strip them of their reality, and admitting them, one by one, into my consciousness might heighten mine, might add their dim awareness to my human consciousness, such as it is, and set up a buzz, a vibration…Hasidism has a tradition that one of man's purposes is to assist God in the work of "hallowing" the things of Creation. By a tremendous heave of the spirit, the devout man frees the divine sparks trapped in the mute things of time; he uplifts the forms and moments of creation, bearing them aloft into the rare air and hallowing fire in which all clays must shatter and burst. ~ Annie Dillard
Island Life quotes by Annie Dillard
Look, I've always had an empty place in my life that I've alternatively tried to fill with food and penises, but now I have something. ~ Christopher Moore
Island Life quotes by Christopher Moore
We all like music in my family, but I'm the only one who's made it my life. ~ Pixie Lott
Island Life quotes by Pixie Lott
To live, for me, Jane, is to stand on a crater-crust which may crack and spue fire any day. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Island Life quotes by Charlotte Bronte
There are no dirty words in this book, except for 'hell' and 'God', in case someone is fearing that an innocent child might see 1 ... Perhaps the only precept taught me by Grandfather Wills that I have honoured all my adult life is that profanity and obsceny entitle people who don't want unpleasant information to close their eyes and ears to you. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Island Life quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Joy is something we can't manufacture. Joy happens to us not because of us. ~ Todd Stocker
Island Life quotes by Todd Stocker
Be spiritual and successful. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Island Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Train Like an Athlete, Eat Like a Bodybuilder. ~ Elliott Hulse
Island Life quotes by Elliott Hulse
They keep telling you, when you're older, you'll have experience - and that's supposed to be so great. What would you say about that, sir? Is it really any use, would you say?"

"What kind of experience?"

"Well - places you've been to, people you've met. Situations you've been through already, so you know how to handle them when they come up again. All that stuff that's supposed to make you wise, in your later years."

"Let me tell you something, Kenny. For other people, I can't speak - but, personally, I haven't gotten wise on anything. Certainly, I've been through this and that; and when it happens again, I say to myself, Here it is again. But that doesn't seem to help me. In my opinion, I, personally, have gotten steadily sillier and sillier and sillier - and that's a fact."

"No kidding, sir? You can't mean that! You mean, sillier than when you were young?"

"Much, much sillier."

"I'll be darned. Then experience is no use at all? You're saying it might just as well not have happened?"

"No. I'm not saying that. I only mean, you can't use it. But if you don't try to - if you just realize it's there and you've got it - then it can be kind of marvelous. ~ Christopher Isherwood
Island Life quotes by Christopher Isherwood
Something new is made from my memories and yours as you read this. It is not my memory, not yours, and it is born and walks the bridges and roads of your mind, as long as it can. After it has left mine.

All my life I've been told this isn't important, that it doesn't matter. And yet I think it does. I think it is the real reason the people who would take everything from us say this. I think it's the same reason that when fascists come to power, writers are among the first to go to jail. And that is the point of writing. ~ Alexander Chee
Island Life quotes by Alexander Chee
I didn't tell him that I grew up in an ugly city that taught me how to look between dust and rubbish and potholes to find a splinter of glass that looked like unmelting ice, beautiful in its defiance of the sun. ~ Kamila Shamsie
Island Life quotes by Kamila Shamsie
Never contradict. Never explain. Never apologize. (Those are the secrets of a happy life!) ~ John Arbuthnot
Island Life quotes by John Arbuthnot
You know, my poor grandmother once told me that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Life has taught me that it's actually a few inches lower. ~ Jenifer Mohammed
Island Life quotes by Jenifer Mohammed
Ready for a new life ~ Sylvia Plath
Island Life quotes by Sylvia Plath
I don't read such boring things. Life is too short. ~ Gyorgy Ligeti
Island Life quotes by Gyorgy Ligeti
You have to move in life, but the loyalty you develop in a community is always remembered. But if you leave, you don't pick it up in the next town. It's not an add-on, you know, because you lose what you had. ~ Richard DeVos
Island Life quotes by Richard DeVos
There's no reason to live, but there's no reason to die, either. The only way we can still show our contempt for life is to accept it. Life is not worth the bother of leaving it. Out of charity, one might spare a few individuals the trouble of living, but what about oneself? Despair, indifference, betrayal, fidelity, solitude, the family, freedom, weight, money, poverty, love, absence of love, syphilis, health, sleep, insomnia, desire, impotence, platitudes, art, honesty, dishonor, mediocrity, intelligence – nothing there to make a fuss about. We know only too well what those things are made of, no point in watching for them. ~ Jacques Rigaut
Island Life quotes by Jacques Rigaut
The life we're given is on a thread, so wear it well. ~ Benny Bellamacina
Island Life quotes by Benny Bellamacina
I feel at peace, content. My questions have been answered. I can accept my alone-life, knowing it's purpose. Interaction, love, is the purpose and the core. Now I see the possibility of a different kind of interaction - and it is something that I can start to learn as soon as I get home, beginning with my little place/house and my plants. How to interact with people this way I do not yet know. [Gift Bearer] ~ Steven Foster
Island Life quotes by Steven Foster
