His terror became his companion. When it seemed to diminish, or grow easier to bear, he forced himself to remember the details of what he had said and done so that his fears returned, redoubled. His previous life, which had been without fear, he now dismissed as an illusion since he had come to believe that only in fear could the truth be found. When he woke from sleep without anxiety, he asked himself, What is wrong? What is missing? And then his door opened slowly, and a child put its head around and gazed at him: there are wheels, Ned thought, wheels within wheels. The curtains were now always closed, for the sun horrified him: he was reminded of a film he had seen some time before, and how the brightness of the noonday light had struck the water where a man, in danger of drowning, was struggling for his life. ~ Peter Ackroyd
Previous Life quotes by Peter Ackroyd
Every soul ... comes into the world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its' previous life. Its' place in this world as a vessel appointed to honor or dishonor, is determined by its' previous merits or demerits. Its' work in this world determines its' place in the world which is to follow this. ~ Origen
Previous Life quotes by Origen
We are never responsible for another person's abusive or toxic behaviour. We don't "choose it" or "create it" … we didn't "sign on for it in a previous life" and it's not our "karma" coming to bite us on our ass-ets. ~ Fiona McColl
Previous Life quotes by Fiona McColl
When people ask me how is it I was a musician, I facetiously say that I'm a firm believer in reincarnation and in a previous life I was Johann Sebastian Bach's guide dog. ~ George Shearing
Previous Life quotes by George Shearing
People don't understand the devastation the murder of a child does to someone. Eighty percent of parents of murdered children wind up in divorce. The only thing you have in common is that horrible sadness. You can't see the joy of your previous life. ~ John Walsh
Previous Life quotes by John Walsh
But in every case, out of all the cells you've been in, your first cell is a very special one, the place where you first encountered others like yourself, doomed to the same fate. All your life you will remember it with an emotion that you otherwise experience only in remembering your first love. And those people, who shared with you the floor and air of that stone cubicle during those days when you rethought your entire life, will from time to time be recollected by you as members of your own family.
Yes, in those days they were your only family.
What you experience in your first interrogation cell parallels nothing in your entire previous life or your whole subsequent life ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Previous Life quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I believe in previous lives and the Muse - and that books and music exist before they are written and that they are propelled into material being by their own imperative to be born, via the offices of those willing servants of discipline, imagination and inspiration whom we call artists. ~ Steven Pressfield
Previous Life quotes by Steven Pressfield
When traditional figures - devils, witches, or hags - are no longer believed in, new ones - aliens, visitations from "a previous life" - take their place. Hallucinations, ~ Oliver Sacks
Previous Life quotes by Oliver Sacks
This piece of iron which he had been allowed to keep aroused a more profound wave of gratitude towards heaven in his heart than he had experienced, in his previous life, from the greatest blessings that had descended upon him. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Previous Life quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Though no longer pregnant, she continues, at times, to mix Rice Krispies and peanuts and onions in a bowl. For being a foreigner Ashima is beginning to realize, is a sort of lifelong pregnancy
a perpetual wait, a constant burden, a continuous feeling out of sorts. It is an ongoing responsibility, a parenthesis in what had once been an ordinary life, only to discover that previous life has vanished, replaced by something more complicated and demanding. Like pregnancy, being a foreigner, Ashima believes, is something that elicits the same curiosity of from strangers, the same combination of pity and respect. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Previous Life quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
Our perceptions of reality are only a relationship to what is actually out there. Perceptions are influenced by context, by previous life experience, and by our tendency to seek out
evidence to confirm our expectations. This drive to confirm, as
argued by social physiologists, results in what is known as self fulfilling prophecy. ~ Derric Yuh Ndim
Previous Life quotes by Derric Yuh Ndim
A wide and vague impression exists that so-called Eastern religion is more contemplative, innocuous, and humane than the proselytizing monotheisms of the West. Don't believe a word of this: try asking the children of Indochina who were dumped by their parents for inherited deformities that were attributed to sins in a previous 'life. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Previous Life quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I felt a strange sensation inside. Like the past coming to life. The watery stirring of a previous life turning in my belly, creating a tide that rose in my veins and sent cool wavelets to lap at my temples. The ghastly excitement of it. ~ Diane Setterfield
Previous Life quotes by Diane Setterfield
The amazing thing about transplantation, aside from the fact that it worked, was that it allowed people to feel again. The thing I liked best about my previous life was the first smile when a patient woke up. Because with that smile, I knew that I hadn't simply given that persona new pump, I had given him or her a new pump that allowed that person to live, to express emotion. It was the smile, even more than the first beat of the heart, that told me it had worked. ~ Charles Martin
Previous Life quotes by Charles Martin
Here an attempt is made to explain suffering: the outcaste of traditional Hinduism is held to deserve his fetched fate; it is a punishment for the wrongs he did in a previous life. ~ Walter Kaufmann
Previous Life quotes by Walter Kaufmann
That woman must have been a husky in a previous life. ~ Mary Papas
Previous Life quotes by Mary Papas
There were no incisions on my daughter's body, no lacerations, no scars, not one single lash mark from a previous life. Still they named her Rotimi, a name that implied that she was an Abiku child who had come into the world intending to die as soon as she could. Rotimi - stay with me. ~ Ayobami, Adebayo
Previous Life quotes by Ayobami, Adebayo
All human beings go through a previous life ... Who knows how many fleshly forms the heir of heaven occupies before he can be brought to understand the value of that silence and solitude of spiritual worlds? ~ Honore De Balzac
Previous Life quotes by Honore De Balzac
I'm actually pretty good at stripping, which makes me wonder what happened in my previous life. Funny enough, I don't wear a lot of clothes when I dance and it's very sexy, so it wasn't too hard to get into the motion of it. ~ Julianne Hough
Previous Life quotes by Julianne Hough
We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come. ~ Milan Kundera
Previous Life quotes by Milan Kundera
Even before he left the room, - and certainly, not five minutes after, the clear conviction dawned upon her, shined bright upon her, that he did love her; that he had loved her; that he would love her. ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Previous Life quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
You never get mad," she said when their server left the table. "Except at me."
"That's not true," he said tightly. "Torie can get me going."
"Torie doesn't count. You were obviously her mother in a previous life. ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Previous Life quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
My hand slips into his as though it remembers his touch and we've held hands often in a previous life. ~ Padma Venkatraman
Previous Life quotes by Padma Venkatraman
Being a baby is hard.
You born in a new world, whole wide world like it has no boundaries.
You face new life that is extremely different with your previous life.
You hear people talking, but never understand.
You want to say something, but you don't know how, so you just cry out loud. And you hate the sound of it, so you keep crying again.
Being a baby is hard, but sometimes they do have fun, and all the time they survive. ~ Alvi Syahrin
Previous Life quotes by Alvi Syahrin
Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why. ~ James Joyce
Previous Life quotes by James Joyce
Matheus pondered which deity he'd annoyed in a previous life. Maybe if he figured out which sacrifices he'd skipped, he could make amends. Did they sell goats at the farmer's market? Matheus wrinkled his nose. He didn't want to leave the city, not to mention the issue of travelling with a goat. People frowned on sticking farm animals in the trunk. What if he got a rack of lamp and chanted over that? Sheep were kind of like goats. ~ Amy Fecteau
Previous Life quotes by Amy Fecteau
These Souls with great Material Possessions were allowed this because of Past Good Works in their Previous Life, but now feel there is no need for Spiritual Progress. They are too easily forgetting why they were granted this Material Wealth in the first place. Therefore we must stop them from accumulating more Material Gains to Guide them back to the right path. ~ Mary Todd Lincoln
Previous Life quotes by Mary Todd Lincoln
Yet, even before he left the room, - and certainly, not five minutes after, the clear conviction dawned upon her, shined bright upon her, that he did love her; that he had loved her; that he would love her. And she shrank and shuddered as under the fascination of some great power, repugnant to her whole previous life.She crept away, and hid from his idea. But it was of no use ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Previous Life quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
Driving west out of Atlanta, he intended to invent an utterly new life for himself, one in which he would be free to wallow in unfiltered experience. To symbolize the complete severance from his previous life, he even adopted a new name. No longer would he answer to Chris McCandless; he was now Alexander Such ertramp, master of his own destiny. ~ Jon Krakauer
Previous Life quotes by Jon Krakauer
Research has shown that constant relocation in childhood is often associated with creativity. It seems that the creative impulse is sparked by the need to reconcile contrasting views of the world. If you move home, you start living a slightly different life, so you compare it with your previous life, note the divergences and the similarities, see what you like better and what you miss, and as you do so, your mind becomes more flexible and capable of combining thoughts and ideas in new and fresh ways. ~ John Cleese
Previous Life quotes by John Cleese
But will they be together again? If they're reborn as new people with no memory of their previous lives, how can they find each other?"
"Soul mates will always find each other. Do not weep on their behalf ... they will be together again."
"Do you promise?" Lina's voice trembled with emotion.
"I promise, sweet one. I promise. ~ P.C. Cast
Previous Life quotes by P.C. Cast
We pencil-sketch our previous life so we can contrast it to the technicolor of the moment. ~ David Levithan
Previous Life quotes by David Levithan
I'm just into spirituality. I believe that in a previous life I used to be Shirley MacLaine. ~ Roseanne Barr
Previous Life quotes by Roseanne Barr
For the first forty days a child
is given dreams of previous lives. Journeys, winding paths,
a hundred small lessons
and then the past is erased. ~ Michael Ondaatje
Previous Life quotes by Michael Ondaatje
The moment that every unrealised heart craves for. The unforgettable instant that a soul, clinging on to the purest memory of its previous life, longs for. The second, that in spite of a conspiracy of the gods, only a few lucky men experience. The moment when she enters his life. ~ Amish Tripathi
Previous Life quotes by Amish Tripathi
All living things need an atmosphere around them, a secret circle of darkness. If this veil is taken from them, if people condemn a religion, an art, a genius to orbit like a star without an atmosphere, then we should no longer wonder about their rapid decay and the way they become hard and barren. That is the way it is now with all great things which never succeed without some delusion.

But every people, indeed every person, who wishes to become mature needs such an enveloping delusion, such a protecting and veiling cloud. But today people generally despise becoming mature, because they honour history more than living. Indeed, people exult over the fact that now 'science is beginning to rule over living'. It is possible that people will attain that goal but it is certain that a life so governed is not worth much, because it is much less living and it establishes a life for the future far less than does the previous life governed not by knowledge but by instinct and powerful illusory images. But, as stated, it is clearly not to be the era of fully developed and mature people, of harmonious personalities, but the era of common work which is as useful as possible. That, however, amounts only to the fact that people are to be trained for the purposes of the time, in order to get to work with their hands as promptly as possible. They are to labour in the factories of the universal utilities before they are mature, that is, so that they really no longer become mature, ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Previous Life quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
In three months Ron read more than he had in his entire previous life. He felt his mind widen, his perceptions become more acute, for each book was a prism refracting the infinitely varied truths of experience. Some were telescopes; some microscopes. ~ Edward Bunker
Previous Life quotes by Edward Bunker
Many instances exist of small children who seem to remember and describe their previous life in another body, another place, and with other people. These memories emerge usually shortly after these children begin to talk. ~ Stanislav Grof
Previous Life quotes by Stanislav Grof
She thought she could see the lines on his forehead even in this darkness, she thought she could hear his heart beat with this colossal pain that had descended upon them all. She did not pity herself, or them, or wonder what they had done to deserve all of this, or even think that perhaps they were all paying their dues for some sin they had committed in a previous life. This was life, such as it was, and it had to be borne, it had to be lived. ~ Indu Sundaresan
Previous Life quotes by Indu Sundaresan
The Buddhists think that, because we've all had infinite previous lives, we've all been each other's relatives. Therefore all of you, in the Buddhist view, in some previous life ... have been my mother - for which I do apologize for the trouble I caused you. ~ Robert Thurman
Previous Life quotes by Robert Thurman
When I think about the past and how blind I was in that life, I compare it to being a god and losing everything when being cast out. I had the unlimited power to destroy myself and everything around me. It's like having been in a cave for years and I'm finally out of the cave. The sun burns my eyes and skin. I don't recognize my surroundings. No one looks authentic, and now I'm on the hunt for people that have the pieces to my puzzle that will help me on my quest. I have no cave to hide in, and I'm just left with the sediment of a previous life and my own mortality. ~ Phil Volatile
Previous Life quotes by Phil Volatile
Fame, power,money,love. The moon, the stars, the whole galaxy. Give it to me.My fetish is domination; not of men, not of my self, of everything. A shiver goes up my spine when I watch other bow their head, In my previous life I must have been a born great queen ~ J.J. McAvoy
Previous Life quotes by J.J. McAvoy
If every birth is a rebirth, and if every life pays for the previous life, then what were you paying for in your first birth? You ~ Lee Strobel
Previous Life quotes by Lee Strobel
According to the law of karma, souls reincarnate in environments befitting their spiritual attainments. Good people (even those who have veered from the spiritual path) go, when they die, to the heaven of those who do good deeds. They dwell there for a number of years and then take birth again, this time into a home that is pure and prosperous. A few of them will be born into a family that is spiritually advanced, but such births are difficult to obtain. When this happens, the good environment draws out their latent spirituality and leads them rapidly toward liberation.
The ones born into the pure and prosperous houses have the opportunity at first to enjoy the relatively tame desires they held in their former bodies. But as soon as those pleasures are done they feel irresistibly drawn to spirituality by the force of the good habits they strove for in the previous life.
Even those who showed only a faint interest, merely inquiring about spiritual matters, progress further than the ones who merely follow the rites and ceremonies of their belief systems unthinkingly, and thus stall their true spiritual advancement. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Previous Life quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Ife onye metalu' ['what a man commits'] - a statement unclear and menacing in its very inconclusiveness. What a man commits ... Follows him? Comes back to take its toll? Was that all? No, that was only part of it ... The real burden of that cryptic scripture seemed to turn the matter right around. Whatever we see following a man, whatever fate comes to take its revenge on him, can only be what that man in some way or another, in a previous life if not in this, has committed. That was it! So those three words wrapped in an archaic tongue and tucked away at the tail of the bus turn out to be the opening segment of a full-blooded heathen antiphony offering a primitive and quite deadly exposition of suffering. The guilty suffers; the sufferer is guilty. As for the righteous, those whose arms are straight, they will always prosper! ~ Chinua Achebe
Previous Life quotes by Chinua Achebe
I think that i was a rat in rat wheel in my previous life ... can not forget the habit ~ Hiroko Sakai
Previous Life quotes by Hiroko Sakai
In her previous life, Aliya had read somewhere that technology should never be allowed to outrun morality. Otherwise, the clock will strike Armageddon, and both God and the Devil will turn tail and run. ~ Lina J. Potter
Previous Life quotes by Lina J. Potter
On the right was a collection of mailboxes, maybe twenty, several of which Daron had met in a previous life with an aluminum Louisville slugger, as well as several blue boxes labeled COUNTY EXAMINER, a few of which had not recovered from their own interrogations, that local version of the great American pastime. D'aron, much to his credit, he'd once thought, was only blowing off steam, and never once - not even one time - cracked lip when the others asked, Who writes Gulls anyway, and when they get a letter, who reads it to them? He now wondered how much of his fear about coming back here was actually guilt, and how much of the guilt was fear - nothing was as it seemed. ~ T. Geronimo Johnson
Previous Life quotes by T. Geronimo Johnson
The choice of souls was in most cases based on their own experience of a previous life ... Knowledge easily acquired is that which the enduing self had in an earlier life, so that it flows back easily. ~ Plato
Previous Life quotes by Plato
After a while Carl asked him, "How does it make you feel that those politicians have so much while you have so little?"

The driver shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Don't
you understand that they must have done something good in their previous life to get so much in this one?"

Carl nodded even though he didn't understand and probably never would. ~ Harlan Wolff
Previous Life quotes by Harlan Wolff
What paradise and vacation have in common is that you have to pay for both, and the coin is your previous life. ~ Joseph Brodsky
Previous Life quotes by Joseph Brodsky
It is also possible within this lifetime to enhance the power of the mind, enabling one to reaccess memories from previous lives. Such recollection tends to be more accessible during meditative experiences in the dream state. Once one has accessed memories of previous lives in the dream state, one gradually recalls them in the waking state. ~ Dalai Lama
Previous Life quotes by Dalai Lama
Leo wondered what unknown sin they must have committed in some previous life to deserve this. The answer came the same way their feet later shocked to life in the warming hut after being so numb for hours- you think you'll never feel your toes again, and then all of a sudden life, damaged, stiffened, clammy, but life, dog-eat-dog life! We have not done a single thing to deserve this. ~ Peter Orner
Previous Life quotes by Peter Orner
Think of your husband as a lover from a previous life, and wonder what you did to deserve him. ~ Gwen Davis
Previous Life quotes by Gwen Davis
Sometimes I think we were born in the wrong bodies, Jamie. Maybe we were. Maybe you were my girl in a previous life and my soul still remembers. ~ Alessandra Hazard
Previous Life quotes by Alessandra Hazard
There have been many times when I've been asked to appear and I'd say to myself, what am I going to talk about? Early on, when I did interviews, I'd tell everyone, Don't ask me about dates. I don't even remember what I did yesterday. ~ Otis Blackwell
Previous Life quotes by Otis Blackwell
In my previous life, I learned something. I remember seeing it painted on the faces of the kids in the hospital. It is this: All hearts have but one request. One simple, unspoken, undeniable need. One undeniable fear.
To be known.
You can stamp it out. Kill it. Box it up and hem it in. Numb it and close the door. Bury it and nail it shut. Encase it in stone. But eventually, the needs of the heart will tear the door off the hinges, unearth it, and crack the stone. No prison ever built could house it. Those of us who think we can are lying to ourselves. And those next to us.
Hope never dies. ~ Charles Martin
Previous Life quotes by Charles Martin
Might there come a time
When we stand over a grave
And mourn ourselves?
Mourn the past, a previous life?
Shall we weep for the passing of time?
Shall we grieve for unfulfilled dreams?
In my naivety; in my belief
In immortal youth,
I sleep walk through life.
Someone ... wake me up.
Please.
Wake me up. ~ Samantha Young
Previous Life quotes by Samantha Young
Judy, I read that you said your first memory was music. Music that fills up a home. And one day, suddenly the music could escape through a window. For the rest of your life, you had to chase it. ~ Ava Dellaira
Previous Life quotes by Ava Dellaira
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again? ~ Archilochus
Previous Life quotes by Archilochus
I've come to realise that the most precious commodity in life is not money, time, or even health as such, but mental energy. We should take great care in nurturing, protecting, and directing our mental energies. ~ Neel Burton
Previous Life quotes by Neel Burton
American and Vietnamese characters alike leap to life through the voice and eyes of a tenyearold girl-a protagonist so strong, loving, and vivid I longed to hand her a wedge of freshly cut papaya. ~ Mitali Perkins
Previous Life quotes by Mitali Perkins
The only constant factor in life is our feelings and attitudes toward life. One of the few things that we have total control over is our own attitude. ~ Jim Rohn
Previous Life quotes by Jim Rohn
All I can say about Juliette of the Herbs is that it has made me look at how my life is now, still close to the earth, but not close enough ... I'm happy to have seen a glimpse into her life. It encourages me to live as radically as I want. Tish's film is a grand one. ~ Janisse Ray
Previous Life quotes by Janisse Ray
The sacred heart is filled with joy. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Previous Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Get out of our heads and learn to experience the world directly, experientially, without the relentless commentary of our thoughts. We might just open ourselves up to the limitless possibilities for happiness that life has to offer us . ~ J. Mark G. Williams
Previous Life quotes by J. Mark G. Williams
All his life there was only one thing Lec was allowed to believe. It had surrounded him, cocooned him, constricted him with the same stifling softness as the layers of insulation around him now. For the first time in his life, Lev feels those bounds around his soul begin to loosen. ~ Neal Shusterman
Previous Life quotes by Neal Shusterman
Change is possible. You must want it enough for the change to take place. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Previous Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living. ~ Robert Fulghum
Previous Life quotes by Robert Fulghum
My life exists in an imagined reality. ~ Mandy Patinkin
Previous Life quotes by Mandy Patinkin
I was her world, yes, and I was at that point we all reach where I was denying she was mine. I'd never quiet forgive myself for that. ~ Danny Wallace
Previous Life quotes by Danny Wallace
Some people won't dog-ear the pages. Others won't place the book facedown, pages splayed. Some won't dare make a mark in the margin. Get over it. Books exist to impart their worlds to you, not to be beautiful objects to save for some other day. We implore you to fold, crack, and scribble on your books whenever the desire takes you. Underline the good bits, exclaim "YES!" and "NO!" in the margins. Invite others to inscribe and date the frontispiece. Draw pictures, jot down phone numbers and Web addresses, make journal entries, draft letters to friends or world leaders. Scribble down ideas for a novel of your own, sketch bridges you want to build, dresses you want to design. Stick postcards and pressed flowers between the pages.

When next you open the book, you'll be able to find the bits that made you think, laugh, and cry the first time around. And you'll remember that you picked up that coffee stain in the cafe where you also picked up that handsome waiter. Favorite books should be naked, faded, torn, their pages spilling out. Love them like a friend, or at least a favorite toy. Let them wrinkle and age along with you. ~ Ella Berthoud & Susan Elderkin
Previous Life quotes by Ella Berthoud & Susan Elderkin
Some people lose their nerve for riding or skiing or driving; well, I've lost my nerve for life. ~ Sophie Kinsella
Previous Life quotes by Sophie Kinsella
No matter what his position or experience in life, there is in everyone more latent than developed ability; far more unused than used power. ~ James Cash Penney
Previous Life quotes by James Cash Penney
The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything is has to face without wavering. If we take this view, life becomes one great romance, a glorious opportunity for seeing marvelous things all the time.
God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power. ~ Oswald Chambers
Previous Life quotes by Oswald Chambers
Look for people in your life that who will help calm the storms in your soul rather than challenge it to a battle. Peace should always be your first priority.in your life. ~ Timothy Pina
Previous Life quotes by Timothy Pina
I think the most important thing I have done in my life is to raise two boys. ~ Robert Fogel
Previous Life quotes by Robert Fogel
Stories are not just entertainment, not to me. A story records and transmits the experience of being human. It teaches us what it's like to be who we are. Nothing but art can do this. There is no science that can capture the inner life. No words can describe it directly. We can only speak of it in metaphors. We can only say: it's like this - this story, this picture, this song. ~ Andrew Klavan
Previous Life quotes by Andrew Klavan
Suddenly, Mr. Parker's shoulders drooped and he gave up, mumbling, Happy wife, happy life. ~ Cynthia Kadohata
Previous Life quotes by Cynthia Kadohata
I think it's harder than ever to be an artist. I think that you end up, especially as a middle-aged person, you pay such big consequences for saying, 'I'm just going to devote my life to making art,' or 'I'm going to devote my life to writing novels.' You end up with no resources. ~ Dana Spiotta
Previous Life quotes by Dana Spiotta
I would warn against too much of a radical devotion to rationality. Rationality is an illusion, an invented concept, a construct from the mind of man. It is not a property of the universe. Rationality may be a useful tool when it suits our purposes, however, it is merely a measuring stick, calibrated against what we know of the nature of the universe - all of which may or may not be completely inaccurate. ~ Derek R. Audette
Previous Life quotes by Derek R. Audette
I think about dying but I dont want to die. Not even close. In fact my problem is the complete opposite. I want to live, I want to escape. I feel trapped and bored and claustrophobic. There's so much to see and so much to do but I somehow still find myself doing nothing at all. I'm still here in this metaphorical bubble of existence and I can't quite figure out what the hell I'm doing or how to get out of it. ~ Matty Healy
Previous Life quotes by Matty Healy
Will the freshness, lightheartedness, the need for love, and strength of faith which you have in childhood ever return? What better time than when the two best virtues -- innocent joy and the boundless desire for love -- were the only motives in life? ~ Leo Tolstoy
Previous Life quotes by Leo Tolstoy
She wanted to leave the house and dance the world away until she fell down dead. For her, every passing minute meant more lost time. Inside the house, she was condemned to live a cloistered life, whereas outside those confining walls, the entire world was enjoying itself. It was like an eternal party... ~ Diamela Eltit
Previous Life quotes by Diamela Eltit
In army, I went to Kashmir and did well, which was a challenge. In sports, I went to Olympics at a time when no one believed that we can actually win. Coming into politics was also a challenge as I wanted to push the youth to achieve gold in various fields of life. ~ Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
Previous Life quotes by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
In the tide of these wild thoughts we checked our fancy, remembering that only on the rare grains called planets can life gain foothold, and that all this wealth of restless jewels was but a waste of fire. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Previous Life quotes by Olaf Stapledon
A lot of people think the blues is depressing but that's not the blues I'm singing. When I'm singing blues, I singing life. People can't stand to listen to the blues, they've got to be phonies. ~ Etta James
Previous Life quotes by Etta James
I think life is a big game we play. ~ Eric Cantona
Previous Life quotes by Eric Cantona
Imagine anybody having lived forty-five or fifty years without knowing Hamlet! One might as well spend one's life in a coal mine. ~ Hector Berlioz
Previous Life quotes by Hector Berlioz
In many parts of the world, ghosts are not considered to be a creation of local folklore, but a fact of life. In China the dead are understood to co-exist with the living, a belief which gave rise to the practice of ancestor worship, while in South America the deceased are honoured with annual festivals known as the Day of the Dead which suggests that the material world and the spirit world might not be as distinct as we might like to believe. In the Eastern and Asiatic religions it is believed that death is not the end, but simply a transition from one state of being to another. The Hindu Upanishads, for example, liken each human soul to a lump of salt taken from the ocean which must ultimately return to the source. ~ Paul Roland
Previous Life quotes by Paul Roland
Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated. ~ Frederick William Robertson
Previous Life quotes by Frederick William Robertson
It is essential to learn to enjoy life. It really does not make sense to go through the motions of existence if one does not appreciate as much of it as possible. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Previous Life quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
The key to humanity is simple. Live your life with purpose. They need goals to strive for. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Previous Life quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Dare to write your life story in such a way that, if perchance, someone happens to read even a single sentence of it they will be compelled to take far greater care in the writing of their own sentences. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Previous Life quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
The Hemulen, moaning piteously, thrust his nose into the sand. "This has gone too far!" he said. "Why can't a poor innocent botanist live his life in peace and quiet?"
"Life is not peaceful," said Snufkin, contentedly. ~ Tove Jansson
Previous Life quotes by Tove Jansson
I used to ask for an easy life, now I ask to be strong. ~ William Kent Krueger
Previous Life quotes by William Kent Krueger
It is my job to make sure that these kids who are talented get every chance they can and not to be passed over; this is life or death for them. ~ Paula Abdul
Previous Life quotes by Paula Abdul
Children used to be unknowing and innocent when it came to certain issues in life. But that innocence has been lost in today's electronic environment. Kids are exposed to ideas and content their minds and emotions are not ready to handle. And under the onslaught of this corrupt world with its wrong concepts, wrong desires, wrong deeds, and wrong attitudes, children come under all sorts of negative influences that end up bringing serious problems into the home. ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
Previous Life quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
Homer looked back at me. 'Pete, can I tell ya somethin' real important?'

'Sure, what is it?' I couldn't imagine what Homer was about to say.

He sat down on a rounded rock. I sat down too.

'One thing I've learned is that ya never know what's gonna happen to ya in this old life. Everything can change, just like that.' He snapped his fingers, loud and fast.
