This was how the world persisted. The heaviness of despair - how could it exist in the midst of mascara, zippers, brunches ? It marched forward even when I was barely able to stand ... It had been hard on all of us - not only missing Henry, but facing the idea that your whole world can change, suddenly irreversibly. We were reminded how flimsy everything is, as frail as the airmail envelopes my mother had sent us the summer she disappeared. This is the life you have and then it's gone. I felt sorry for my mother, I knew what it was like not to be able to help your child, to change the incomprehensible randomness of life, to reverse a loss. ~ Bridget Asher
Randomness Of Life quotes by Bridget Asher
Before my unfeeling eyes, the repressed bitterness of my whole life peels off the suit of natural joy it wears in the prolonged randomness of every day. I realize that I'm always sad, however happy or content I may often feel. And the part of me that realizes this stands a little behind me ... ~ Fernando Pessoa
Randomness Of Life quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Autism: Where the "randomness of life" collides and clashes with an individual"s need for the sameness~ ~ Eileen Miller
Randomness Of Life quotes by Eileen Miller
Whenever I read the term 'belief system', somewhere between my eyes and my brain, it becomes 'coping mechanism. ~ Stewart Stafford
Randomness Of Life quotes by Stewart Stafford
Ancient Chinese custom if you were a guest in one of their homes and you admired some particular thing, they would wrap it up and present it to you as a gift. But isn't that what life does. ~ Sterling W. Sill
Randomness Of Life quotes by Sterling W. Sill
When I think back, I felt like I had the life that a lot of white American kids grew up with in the suburbs in the States. I started noticing, as Apartheid's grip weakened, that we had more and more black kids at school; I had more and more black friends. But I never really saw a separation between myself and the black kids at school. ~ St. Lucia
Randomness Of Life quotes by St. Lucia
He stopped and after a while went on. 'Try to choose carefully, Arren, when the great choices muct be made. When I was young I had to choose between the life of being and the life of doing. And I leapt to the latter like a trout to a fly. But each deed you do, each act, blinds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.'
How could such a man, thought Arren, be in doubt as towho and what he is? He had believed such doubts were reserved for the young, who had not done anything yet. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Randomness Of Life quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
What was meaningful? What was meaningless? What did it mean, to amount to something? What type of life, was worth living? Was it better, to make a ton of money, and have a fucking goddamn Mercedes, or whatever the fuck kind of car it was, to be a lawyer with a 'serious' job, and to have 'amounted to something,' or was it better to just be a waiter, and work the evening shift, and have your days free to goof off with your roommates, your friends, to go to meditation, to take some time to reflect, and enjoy life, and to not always be in such a big goddamn rush to get somewhere? ~ T. Scott McLeod
Randomness Of Life quotes by T. Scott McLeod
Beauty is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight,or springtime, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. You have only a few years in which to live really, perfectly, and fully. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it, and then you will suddenly discover that there are no triumphs left for you...Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses. You will become sallow, and hollow-cheeked, and dull-eyed...Ah! realise your youth while you have it. Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar...Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing...The world belongs to you for a season...how tragic it would be if you were wasted. For there is such a little time that your youth will last. The common hillflowers wither, but they blossom again. The laburnum will be as yellow next June as it is now. In a month there will be purple stars on the clematis, and year after year the green night of its leaves will hold its purple stars. But we never get back our youth. The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty, becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the co ~ Oscar Wilde
Randomness Of Life quotes by Oscar Wilde
I used to be quite a big video game player at university and post-university in that weird moment in life before you have a proper job and you've got a lot of idle time. ~ Stephen Merchant
Randomness Of Life quotes by Stephen Merchant
If we are to follow the Jesus who suffered with us and bled for us, we too must suffer. We must hold the dying in our arms. We must shed tears for hungry stomachs, trafficked children, and wandering souls. This is what He wants for us. It's the reason we are called to lay down our nets and take up our crosses to pursue the Suffering Servant. And it's the one thing we will avoid at all costs.
It is not enough to feel bad. Religion to me, has always been the routine of feeling guilty for all the things we should do but don't. We must act. This is where life happens, where we begin to participate in our stories. This is when we awaken. Not on the sidelines; not on the outside looking in. Life is lived right in the midst of all this mess. Incidentally, that's where mercy and the miraculous are found. That's where flowers begin to grow again. ~ Jeff Goins
Randomness Of Life quotes by Jeff Goins
What we think is more important in life, is just an excuse for not trying hard enough for what is right in front of us ... ~ Donna M. Zadunajsky
Randomness Of Life quotes by Donna M. Zadunajsky
You do not continue to sit on thorns that continue to prickle you. If the prickling continues, ponder and continue ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Randomness Of Life quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
If we could carry an awareness of being with us into each day, allowing it to influence the way we do things, and how we relate to others, we might find ourselves living a very different kind of life; maybe then we would fully embrace the deeper truth of what it means to be a human being. ~ Stephen Denham
Randomness Of Life quotes by Stephen Denham
Another glorious Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars. This is true freedom, a good practical sort of immortality. ~ John Muir
Randomness Of Life quotes by John Muir
Space is space,life is life,everywhere is the same. But as for me, sustained by the toil of others, lacking civilized vices with which to fill my leisure, I pamper my melancholy and try to find in the vacuousness of the desert a special historical poignancy. Vain, idle, misguided! How fortunate that no one sees me! ~ J.M. Coetzee
Randomness Of Life quotes by J.M. Coetzee
Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life. ~ Tippi Hedren
Randomness Of Life quotes by Tippi Hedren
Man is the carrier of God's image ~ Sunday Adelaja
Randomness Of Life quotes by Sunday Adelaja
For nothing is deader than a body that once had life and has it no more. ~ Chris Priestley
Randomness Of Life quotes by Chris Priestley
Cookbooks are almost a substitution for a lost sense of culture. People want some other life than the one they're living, so they buy a cookbook with pictures and imagine themselves as part of that life. ~ Mark Miller
Randomness Of Life quotes by Mark Miller
I have a passionate desire for personal privacy. I want to stand before the world, for good or bad, on the book I wrote, not on what I say in letters to friends, not on my husband and my home life, the way I dress, my likes and dislikes, et cetera. My book belongs to anyone who has the price, but nothing of me belongs to the public. ~ Margaret Mitchell
Randomness Of Life quotes by Margaret Mitchell
If we want other people to give us something that only God can give, we become a demon. We say, "Love me!" and before you know it we become violent and demanding and manipulative. It's so important that we keep forgiving one another - not once in a while, but every moment of life. ~ Henri Nouwen
Randomness Of Life quotes by Henri Nouwen
All of human civilization had been built out of the ruins of what had come before. Life itself was a grand chemical improvisation that began with the simplest replicators and grew and collapsed and grew again. Catastrophe was just one part of what always happened. It was a prelude to what came next. You ~ James S.A. Corey
Randomness Of Life quotes by James S.A. Corey
I would never say that GOD did not do anything I wished for he made it come true. ~ Nadair Desmar
Randomness Of Life quotes by Nadair Desmar
Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been 'You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.' Maybe I'm going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important. ~ Fred Rogers
Randomness Of Life quotes by Fred Rogers
One's attitude affects altitude, and the degree of our mental elevation gives measurable evidence of just how much we can defy the pull on the soul subject to invisible laws of gravitation... ~ Tracey Bond
Randomness Of Life quotes by Tracey Bond
If you build a wall to separate people, there will be those who find a way around the wall, or over it, or under it, or through it. We humans are not meant to be contained, and neither are our thoughts. ~ Teresa R. Funke, Bursts Of Brilliance For A Creative Life Blog
Randomness Of Life quotes by Teresa R. Funke, Bursts Of Brilliance For A Creative Life Blog
Turn off the computer. Often, an open computer screen distracts us from other activities. Our eye catches a glimpse of something and before you know it, we're back at the desk and surfing away. ~ James Chartrand
Randomness Of Life quotes by James Chartrand
It happened very fast. And now that he's dead he can't remember pain. It's as if he'd never existed.'
He wanted her to believe this, but he wasn't sure he believed it himself. If time was infinite, then three seconds and three years represented the same infinitely small fraction of it. And so, if inflicting three years of fear and suffering was wrong, as everyone would agree, then inflicting three seconds of it was no less wrong. He caught a fleeting glimpse of God in the math here, in the infinitesimal duration of a life. No death could be quick enough to excuse inflicting pain. If you were capable of doing the math, it meant that a morality was lurking in it. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Randomness Of Life quotes by Jonathan Franzen
To be more precise ... death is [contrary to] God, and if death is natural, if it is the ultimate truth about life and about the world, if it is the highest and immutable law about all of creation, then there is no God, then this whole story about creation, about joy, and about the light of life is a total lie. ~ Alexander Schmemann
Randomness Of Life quotes by Alexander Schmemann
Just this. I never knew anyone who fucked up their life good who didn't think they were special. The holes they dug themselves into were exactly the shape of their dreams. ~ Benjamin Whitmer
Randomness Of Life quotes by Benjamin Whitmer
Life was not an idle dream to be gaped and yawned through, but a noble task, full of duty and stern work. ~ Jerome K. Jerome
Randomness Of Life quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
Careful practical work is the best expression of our freedom and safeguard of our sanity. In a healthy society, such work is the means most consistently available for people to practice holiness of life, to imitate God's enabling and sustaining care for the world. ~ Ellen F. Davis
Randomness Of Life quotes by Ellen F. Davis
A woman desires to be a man's last romance, her baby's first love and a person who can live with dignity all her life. As a girl matures to be a woman, her fairy tale imagination gets superseded by her struggle to be a good wife, a good mother and most importantly, a woman of virtue. As victor or vanquished, a woman keeps fighting the sequence of odds and evens throughout her life. Since nature had made women strong, society has very wisely done the reverse to maintain the balance. ~ Purba Chakraborty
Randomness Of Life quotes by Purba Chakraborty
What does long life avail? The best seats at the funerals of friends. ~ Delmore Schwartz
Randomness Of Life quotes by Delmore Schwartz
We don't widely accept the idea that bad things happen for uncontrollable reasons because of fear. How could that be? If that is true, we can't make sense of it with our cognitive brains. And that is scary. If that is true, there is no way for us to control those things while in human form. And that is scary. So we search for meaning, a less scary understanding. And we usually end up assuming the victim is to blame. ~ Elisabeth Corey
Randomness Of Life quotes by Elisabeth Corey
This is Wall Street, and today is important. Because tomorrow, July 4th, I intended to make my first million dollars
an excitingday in a man's life. The enterprise was slightly illegal. ~ Abraham Polonsky
Randomness Of Life quotes by Abraham Polonsky
There are some things you can give another person, and some things you cannot give him, except as he is willing to reach out and take them, and pay the price of making them a part of himself. This principle applies to studying, to developing talents, to absorbing knowledge, to acquiring skills, and to the learning of all the lessons of life. ~ Richard L. Evans
Randomness Of Life quotes by Richard L. Evans
And me, standing under the splintered night,
catching fractured glimpses into the black behind the black,
hearing the prayers of stars, the angry whispers of the dark summer night.

Its voice cracks,
on your name.

My eyes close,
on your name. ~ Marlen Komar
Randomness Of Life quotes by Marlen Komar
The kind of stillness of being nothing, and doing things from that emptiness, make one strong. ~ Shashi
Randomness Of Life quotes by Shashi
Within a couple of weeks of starting the Ph.D. program, though, she discovered that she'd booked passage on a sinking ship. There aren't any jobs, the other students informed her; the profession's glutted with tenured old men who won't step aside for the next generation. While the university's busy exploiting you for cheap labor, you somehow have to produce a boring thesis that no one will read, and find someone willing to publish it as a book. And then, if you're unsually talented and extraordinarily lucky, you just might be able to secure a one-year, nonrenewable appointment teaching remedial composition to football players in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, the Internet's booming, and the kids we gave C pluses to are waltzing out of college and getting rich on stock options while we bust our asses for a pathetic stipend that doesn't even cover the rent. ~ Tom Perrotta
Randomness Of Life quotes by Tom Perrotta
Kya was bonded to her planet and its life in a way few people are. Rooted solid in this earth. Born of this mother. ~ Delia Owens
Randomness Of Life quotes by Delia Owens
This is the worst day of my life'. I groaned and put my head in my hands.
'You can't possibly know that. You might have something really awful going to happen to you later on. All your children burned to death or your nose cut off in a revolving door'. ~ Victoria Clayton
Randomness Of Life quotes by Victoria Clayton
People are waking up in their homes - without conferences. They're waking up because life is waking them up, not because of some conference called "Body and Soul." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
