Everybody in life is struggling for power, and some people use morality and righteousness as a weapon, while others use different means, even passive aggression. From a distance, we are all fighting, and I am looking at this from a distance. ~ Robert Greene
Passive Life quotes by Robert Greene
Experience was something it was difficult to avoid, though many people had managed to keep it to a minimum. ~ Philip Jose Farmer
Passive Life quotes by Philip Jose Farmer
Culture, far from giving us freedom, only develops, as it advances, new necessities; the fetters of the physical close more tightly around us, so that the fear of loss quenches even the ardent impulse toward improvement, and the maxims of passive obedience are held to be the highest wisdom of life. ~ Friedrich Schiller
Passive Life quotes by Friedrich Schiller
My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me. ~ Gwyneth Paltrow
Passive Life quotes by Gwyneth Paltrow
When you were on stage, you could be absolutely open about your emotions and indulge them and express yourself in a way that - in real life - I wasn't doing. ~ Ian McKellen
Passive Life quotes by Ian McKellen
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay. ~ Graham Greene
Passive Life quotes by Graham Greene
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. ~ Will Rogers
Passive Life quotes by Will Rogers
By my monastic life and vows I am saying no to all the concentration camps, the aerial bombardments, the staged political trials, the judicial murders, the racial injustices, the economic tyrannies, and the whole socioeconomic apparatus which seems geared for nothing but global destruction in spite of all its fair words in favor of peace. ~ Thomas Merton
Passive Life quotes by Thomas Merton
He who has no dreams has no hope and thus lives in a hell of his own making - rjs ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Passive Life quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal. ~ Pope John Paul II
Passive Life quotes by Pope John Paul II
If I were not able to separate the art from the artists, I think I would limit myself a great deal, and life wouldn't be nearly as interesting. ~ Jessye Norman
Passive Life quotes by Jessye Norman
There is a big age gap between my sisters Janice and Irma and myself so I didn't know them that well when I was younger although they have been very supportive in later life. ~ Alvin Lee
Passive Life quotes by Alvin Lee
Tonight, no matter how bloody, was bringing him back to the man he'd fallen in love with. Sweet but violent. Capable, but needy. Vulnerable, but so, so strong.
There would never be another man like him in Domenico's life, and watching him work felt like falling in love all over again. ~ K.A. Merikan
Passive Life quotes by K.A. Merikan
Looking back now, I mourn the mutual wounds inflicted in verbal battles with the "unsaved". In fact, I have chosen to delete that particular term from my vocabulary as I have learned that even with my $500 European-designer bifocals, I cannot see into a person's heart to know his spiritual condition. All I can do is tell the jagged tale of my own spiritual journey and declare that my life has been better for having followed Christ. ~ Ron Hall
Passive Life quotes by Ron Hall
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility. ~ Russell Crowe
Passive Life quotes by Russell Crowe
Weird, inexplicable stuff is already happening in life, whereas art should offer resolution. ~ Joni Murphy
Passive Life quotes by Joni Murphy
So much about religion has to do with rigid, sacrosanct preciousness. I don't live my life that way, and I don't feel that's what Baha'u'llah teaches. ~ Rainn Wilson
Passive Life quotes by Rainn Wilson
But when you split someone's head open it smelled like an abattoir and quite overpowered the scent of the wild lilacs you'd cut and brought into the house only this morning, which was already in another life. ~ Kate Atkinson
Passive Life quotes by Kate Atkinson
Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. For as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the German mystics called "the I, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. By grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration. ~ Aldous Huxley
Passive Life quotes by Aldous Huxley
(I) want to do everything and see everything, sense everything and feel everything and taste everything; to know that life is an enormous experience and must be used. To be in the world, and of the world, and never to stand aside and watch. ~ Samuel Taylor
Passive Life quotes by Samuel Taylor
His father raised him to be the way he is. The man showed him no love, no kindness, only death and destruction. But that is not all Jax is; it is simply all that he knows. He wants to learn about the things in life that bring more fulfillment than murder and devastation. He wants to learn about love and happiness. ~ Kathryn Le Veque
Passive Life quotes by Kathryn Le Veque
Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation. ~ Ray Bradbury
Passive Life quotes by Ray Bradbury
Life is a series of shallow breaths. And in any breath, everything can change. ~ Kate Kae Myers
Passive Life quotes by Kate Kae Myers
Perhaps I have lived my life to excess, but know what - if I had it to do over again, I would overdo it again. ~ Robert Breault
Passive Life quotes by Robert Breault
Freedom can choke you if you don't know how to handle it. ~ Charlotte Eriksson
Passive Life quotes by Charlotte Eriksson
Why did you start to write?


I left at 15.. I started to write becase I was taken off a ship from Germany when I was 18. They said I wouldn't live for 6 months.

I'd been given up for dead many times and I just didn't want to waste my life. I had what I now realize was a spiritual experience.

I realized that I would die,
and that just before I would die,
two things would happen.

number one, I would regret my entire life.
and number two, I would want to live my life over again.
and then I would die.
and that terrified me.

[...]

to think that I would live my entire life, look at it, and say oh..I blew it. was such a terrifying thought
that I bought a typewriter

I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I bought a typewriter.
but that is what got me to start writing, was

I did not want to waste my life

I wanted to, and I HAD to, do something with my life ~ Hubert Selby Jr.
Passive Life quotes by Hubert Selby Jr.
For me, the card catalog has been a companion all my working life. To leave it is like leaving the house one was brought up in. ~ Barbara Tuchman
Passive Life quotes by Barbara Tuchman
The best thing you can do about the wild horses is to leave them alone! Leave the wild life alone, then you will be the best protector! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Passive Life quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
To be in thousands of states of mind simultaneously as you perform simple physical tasks gives you a reverence for life. Each of these outer manifestations of life is God. ~ Frederick Lenz
Passive Life quotes by Frederick Lenz
Nowadays not even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really thought which takes his life. He does not die with deliberation but from deliberation. ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Passive Life quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
For the Creator, the past is never lost, never beyond recovery - because it can always be reclaimed by weaving it into a wider pattern of ultimate goodness so that even the most horrendous disasters of life may come to play a significant part in achieving the intended purpose of Creation. In this way, the past can be redeemed. ~ Stephen R. Lawhead
Passive Life quotes by Stephen R. Lawhead
Successful couples learn the secret of fighting for their relationship rather than against one another. ~ Bill Farrel
Passive Life quotes by Bill Farrel
Happiness is not about... who you are, where you are, what you have... or what you are doing. It is what you think about it. If you think your life is already enough, and that's enough. But if you want something out of your reach, then you will never be satisfied all the time. ~ Yuli Pritania
Passive Life quotes by Yuli Pritania
Metz's Perfection chronicles with lapidary precision one woman's climb back to happiness after not just a spouse's death, but also the shocking recognition that her life before that death was not what she had thought it was. The journey is a painful one, but Ms. Metz is much the stronger for having survived to recount it. ~ Julie Powell
Passive Life quotes by Julie Powell
Love a person who is quite unloved, rather than a person who is very much loved. People who feel unloved treat it as a luxury, a hidden treasure, a gem. People who felt loved all their lives treat it as a birthright, an entitlement, a necessary materiality. Give water to the thirsty, they know what water should taste like. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Passive Life quotes by C. JoyBell C.
I have been insane on the subject of moneymaking all my life. ~ Cornelius Vanderbilt
Passive Life quotes by Cornelius Vanderbilt
Can you at least pretend to be professional today?"
Lindsey stopped, glanced back at Luc. "You show me professional, and I'll
show you professional."
Luc snorted, but his expression was gleeful. "Sweetheart, you wouldn't know
professional if it bit you on the ass."
"I prefer my bites in other places."
"Is that an invitation?"
"If only you were so lucky, cowboy."
"Lucky? Hooking up with me would be the luckiest day of your life, Blondie. ~ Chloe Neill
Passive Life quotes by Chloe Neill
So - whatever happened to you?' 'Life. Life happened. ~ David Nicholls
Passive Life quotes by David Nicholls
Life wasn't about learning how to deflect the bad, but learning how to hunker down and weather it until it passed. I supposed ... no, I knew, it was the same way with love. ~ Nicole Williams
Passive Life quotes by Nicole Williams
Life is a series of memories, some good, some bad, that make us who we are. ~ Chie Aleman
Passive Life quotes by Chie Aleman
If you want a totally doable, realistic way to bring mindfulness alive in your daily life -
waking up, working, relating, going to bed - The Mindful Day is a perfect guide. ~ Tara Brach
Passive Life quotes by Tara Brach
Get on with life because life gets on without you. ~ Zayn Malik
Passive Life quotes by Zayn Malik
The longing for destiny is nowhere stronger than in our romantic life. ~ Alain De Botton
Passive Life quotes by Alain De Botton
Our task in ourselves and in others is to transform right answers into automatic responses to real-life situations. ~ Dallas Willard
Passive Life quotes by Dallas Willard
The people with whom you associate respect you if you live according to the teachings of the church of Jesus Christ. People expect a great deal from the members of this Church because we profess much. I have never at any time found that my membership in the Church and living according to the teachings of the gospel were deterrents.

Let each of us every day live an exemplary life, that our influence may be felt for good and that others, seeing our good works, may be led to glorify God.
[Ensign, Feb. 1980, 5] ~ N. Eldon Tanner
Passive Life quotes by N. Eldon Tanner
I kept thinking of an old Robert Mitchum cowboy movie where he goes back to see the farmhouse where he was born and finds the house falling apart and an old man living in it by himself. "Lonely place," Robert Mitchum says. The old man says, "Nothing wrong with a lonely place as long as it's private. That's why I never married. Marriage is lonely, but it ain't private." That was always my most intense fear about getting married: When everything sucked and I was by myself, I thought, Well, at least I don't have another miserable person to worry about. I figured if you gave up your private place and it still turns out to be lonely, you're just screwed. ~ Rob Sheffield
Passive Life quotes by Rob Sheffield
There was something wrong about thse people. But perhaps, just as it is true of my love, they could not go on living except in the way they do. If it is true that man, once born into the world, must somehow live out his life, perhaps the appearance that people make in order to go through with it, even if it is as ugly as their appearance, should not be despised. To be alive. To be alive. An intolerably immense undertaking before which one can only gasp in apprehension. ~ Osamu Dazai
Passive Life quotes by Osamu Dazai
I've gone through so much in my life. I should have been dead a long time ago, but I am still here, and I'm the happiest I've ever been. ~ Etta James
Passive Life quotes by Etta James
Life is too short to spend another moment imprisoned by the will of another. ~ M.K. Williams
Passive Life quotes by M.K. Williams
Life is an obstacle and forest, when you have accomplished it all, you get a reward. The reward is Heaven. ~ Dean F. Bryson
Passive Life quotes by Dean F. Bryson
God give me patience, to reconcile with what I am not able to change
Give me strength to change what I can
And give me wisdom to distinguish one from another. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Passive Life quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Are ideals attainable? Do we live to abolish death? No-we live to fear it and then again to love it, and just for death's sake it is that our spark of life glows for an hour now and then so brightly. ~ Hermann Hesse
Passive Life quotes by Hermann Hesse
And swear No where Lives a woman true, and fair. ~ John Donne
