Jazz is the music of the body. The breath comes through brass. It is the body's breath, and the strings' wails and moans are echoes of the body's music. It is the body's vibrations which ripple from the fingers. And the mystery of the withheld theme, known to jazz musicians alone, is like the mystery of our secret life. We give to others only peripheral improvisations. ~ Anais Nin
Secret Life quotes by Anais Nin
A pencil in my hand, its secret life / is charcoal, the wood already burnt, / a sacrifice. ~ Marianne Boruch
Secret Life quotes by Marianne Boruch
In My Secret Life"
"I saw you this morning,
you were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much,
there's no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In my secret life.
I smile when I am angry,
I cheat and I lie,
I do what I have to do
to get by,
In my secret life. ~ Leonard Cohen
Secret Life quotes by Leonard Cohen
The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers
of persistence, concentration, and insight
to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply. ~ Susan Cain
Secret Life quotes by Susan Cain
Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself. ~ L. Wolfe Gilbert
Secret Life quotes by L. Wolfe Gilbert
Life is a struggle to elevate ourselves from nobody to somebody, not ever knowing the secret beauties of being nobody! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Secret Life quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
A secret life taught me: it doesn't get easier, you become stronger. ~ Asma Naqi
Secret Life quotes by Asma Naqi
We all want to escape our reality, dushenka. To believe we have another, secret life. Even you. ~ Nancy Lyn Sullivan
Secret Life quotes by Nancy Lyn Sullivan
As long as you live under my roof, you'll do what I say!" he shouted.
Then I'll find another roof, I thought.
"You understand me?" he said.
"Yes sir, I understand" I said, and I did too. I understand that a new rooftop would do wonders for me. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
In the ice of solitude man becomes most inexorably a question to himself, and just because the question pitilessly summons and draws into play his most secret life he becomes an experience to himself. ~ Martin Buber
Secret Life quotes by Martin Buber
Being your authentic self is the ultimate secret to happiness in life! ~ Sheri Fink
Secret Life quotes by Sheri Fink
Moments of their secret life together burst like stars upon his memory. ~ James Joyce
Secret Life quotes by James Joyce
In a sense, one could speak of the secret life of colour. Despite its outward beckoning, like true beauty, colour is immensely hesitant in giving away its secrets. Painters learn to respect the hesitancy of colour and endeavour to refine their skill to become worthy of its revelations. A painter learns the language of colour slowly. As with any language, you struggle for a long time outside the language. There is a willed deliberateness to how you sequence the strange words to make a sentence.Then one day the language lets you in to where the words dance to your thoughts with ease and fluency. Perhaps for the painter there is a day when colour lets him in, when his palette sings with synergy and delight. ~ John O'Donohue
Secret Life quotes by John O'Donohue
Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always. ~ Sophocles
Secret Life quotes by Sophocles
Do you have a secret life? This is what she asks all her friends. ~ Jenny Offill
Secret Life quotes by Jenny Offill
Mad? Is one who has solved the secret of life to be considered mad? ~ Edward T. Lowe, Jr.
Secret Life quotes by Edward T. Lowe, Jr.
When I saw you for the first time, I thought you had a secret life. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Secret Life quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Secret Life quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Fortunately, no matter how many times she is pushed down, she bounds up again. No matter how many times she is forbidden, quelled, cut back, diluted, tortured, touted as unsafe, dangerous, mad, and other derogations, she emanates upward in women, so that even the most quiet, even the most restrained woman keeps a secret place for Wild Woman, Even the more repressed woman has a secret life, with secret thoughts and secret feelings which are lush and wild, that is, natural. Even the most captured woman guards the place of the wildish self, for she knows intuitively that someday there will be a loophole, an aperture, a chance, and she will hightail it to escape. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Secret Life quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Communists then, dopers now, tomorrow, who knew, maybe the faggots, so what, it was all the same beef wasn't it? Anybody looking like a normal American but living a secret life was always good for a pop if times got slow- easy and cost-effective, that was simple Law Enforcement 101. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Secret Life quotes by Thomas Pynchon
The writing life is a secret life, wither we admit it or not. ~ Jayne Anne Phillips
Secret Life quotes by Jayne Anne Phillips
Dilly, do not ever forget your own people." My brother came with me to wait for the mail car. He took off his brown scapulars and gave them to me, it being his way of saying goodbye. "In your letters, better not mention politics," he said. He had a secret life from us, he was a Croppy Boy, so many young men were, but dared not speak of it for fear of informers. ~ Edna O'Brien
Secret Life quotes by Edna O'Brien
Secrets

I am all secrets now.

I know when you walk into a room.
I don't need to see or hear you
behind me,
but I know you're there
and wish you'd touch
my shoulder when you walk by.

How can you do that,
without a sound,
send electricity,
a current
through a room full of people?

When did this crazy secret life start?
People see me but don't see
I've changed.
The me people see isn't the tangled
me inside,
trying not to think
about you,
your laugh
splashing like a waterfall
on a hot summer day. ~ Pat Mora
Secret Life quotes by Pat Mora
Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life. ~ James Thurber
Secret Life quotes by James Thurber
The trouble with a secret life is that it is very frequently a secret from the person who lives it and not at all a secret for the people he encounters. He encounters, because he must encounter, those people who see his secrecy before they see anything else, and who drag these secrets out of him; sometimes with the intention of using them against him, sometimes with more benevolent intent; but, whatever the intent, the moment is awful and the accumulating revelation is an unspeakable anguish. The aim of the dreamer, after all, is merely to go on dreaming and not to be molested by the world. His dreams are his protection against the world. But the aims of life are antithetical to those of the dreamer, and the teeth of the world are sharp. ~ James Baldwin
Secret Life quotes by James Baldwin
I was afraid, though, the blame would find a way to stick to them. That's how blame was. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
Everyone has a secret life. But when you're a girl with a best friend, you think your secret life is something you can share. ~ Julie Buntin
Secret Life quotes by Julie Buntin
With blue vinyl-tile floor, pale-green wainscoating, pink walls, a yellow ceiling, and orange-and-white stork-patterned drapes, the expectant fathers' lounge churned with the negative energy of color overload. It would have served well as the nervous-making set for a nightmare about a children's-show host who led a secret life as an ax murderer. The chain-smoking clown didn't improve the ambience. ~ Dean Koontz
Secret Life quotes by Dean Koontz
I'm not an Expressionist. I love to look at de Kooning, but I've got this kind of secret life, and that is something that pleases me. I have to try and make something out of it. ~ Ellsworth Kelly
Secret Life quotes by Ellsworth Kelly
Most people don't have any idea about all the complicated life going on inside a hive. Bees have a secret life we don't know anything about. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
I always consider every place worth exploring once- just in case there's a thirty foot flaming sign divulging the secret of life, that no one has told me about. ~ Tibor Fischer
Secret Life quotes by Tibor Fischer
both her secret life and her despair lay in the same inner chamber of her heart, inaccessible to me. ~ Julian Barnes
Secret Life quotes by Julian Barnes
The secret of life is not to have everything you want, but to want everything you have. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Secret Life quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
Trees have a secret life that is only revealed to those willing to climb them. ~ Reinaldo Arenas
Secret Life quotes by Reinaldo Arenas
Most people have two lives. One is the life we carry on in the open where everyone can see it. It's who we are to our family, friends, and even strangers. In this life we are part of the real world. It's our day-to-day life, our normal life.

We also have another life, one that we have on the inside, out of sight. It's like a reflection of normal life, only with everything we feel and think and dream of and want to do added to it. Sometimes people close to us sense that life, or we trust them enough to share bits of it with them, but mostly we live it alone. That's our inner life, our personal life.

When we have to hide who we are inside from everyone in our real life, then we start living a third life. A secret life. And no matter how careful we are, it's what happens in the secret life that can ruin all the others. ~ Lynn Viehl
Secret Life quotes by Lynn Viehl
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings. ~ Joan Miro
Secret Life quotes by Joan Miro
Sean O'Connell: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it. ~ James Thurber
Secret Life quotes by James Thurber
Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe. ~ Henri Frederic Amiel
Secret Life quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel
Welcome to My Super Secret Life, where people try to kill us on a regular basis, and we thwart bad-guy schemes for breakfast. We're almost like a reality show, only without the alcohol and hot tubs. ~ Gini Koch
Secret Life quotes by Gini Koch
I'd learned that some things are best kept secret. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Secret Life quotes by Nicholas Sparks
The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.
~ Henry Moore
Secret Life quotes by Henry Moore
I had sinus surgery the day after Christmas and it has been the worst surgery of my life. Very painful, and on top of it everyone of course thought I got a nose job. Which is so funny because if you know me I would have told you I got a nose job I'm not gonna keep it a secret. ~ Kaley Cuoco
Secret Life quotes by Kaley Cuoco
You wanna know the secret of life? The saliva of young girls. ~ Tony Curtis
Secret Life quotes by Tony Curtis
You put his brain in a bird, the bird would fly backwards -Secret Life of the Bees ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
We strike our blow, even as Pierre has said. We strike at the coppice that you so desire. We strike there because it is the very heart of the forest. There the secret life of the forest runs at full tide. We know - and you know! Something that, destroyed, will take the heart out of the forest - will make it know us for its masters."

("Women Of The Woods") ~ A. Merritt
Secret Life quotes by A. Merritt
What is mine, even to my life, is hers I love; but the secret of my friend is not mine! ~ Philip Sidney
Secret Life quotes by Philip Sidney
I suppose the mothers of most twelve-year-old boys live with the uneasy conviction that their sons are embarked upon a secret life of crime. ~ Shirley Jackson
Secret Life quotes by Shirley Jackson
We read about secret lives that people have on the Internet, or alternate lives of a serial killer where the whole family didn't know that their dad or their brother or their child was that. There are all the things in our heart that no one really knows, and I thought that that was interesting territory to explore. ~ Catherine Hardwicke
Secret Life quotes by Catherine Hardwicke
In that moment she learnt one of the greatest secrets of life: It is often easier to fight for others than it is for yourself. ~ David Clement-Davies
Secret Life quotes by David Clement-Davies
Man lives his whole life trying to figure out the secrets of life only to realize in the end life was the secret. ~ Terry Blakeman
Secret Life quotes by Terry Blakeman
It always gave Wolf a peculiar thrill thus to tighten his grip upon his stick, thus to wrap himself more closely in his faded overcoat. Objects of this kind played a queer part in his secret life-illusion. His stick was like a plough-handle, a ship's runner, a gun, a spade, a sword, a spear. His threadbare overcoat was like a medieval jerkin, like a monk's habit, like a classic toga! It gave him a primeval delight merely to move one foot in front of the other, merely to prod the ground with his stick, merely to feel the flapping of his coat about his knees, when this mood predominated. It always associated itself with his consciousness of the historic continuity
so incredibly charged with marvels of dreamy fancy
of human beings moving to and fro across the earth. It associated itself, too, with his deep, obstinate quarrel with modern inventions, with modern machinery ... ~ John Cowper Powys
Secret Life quotes by John Cowper Powys
I believe!' Margarita whispered solemnly. 'I believe! Something will happen! It cannot not happen, because for what, indeed, has lifelong torment been sent to me? I admit that I lied and deceived and lived a secret life, hidden from people, but all the same the punishment for it cannot be so cruel…Something is bound to happen, because it cannot be that anything will go on for ever… ~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Secret Life quotes by Mikhail Bulgakov
From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
Secret Life quotes by Rachel Naomi Remen
People have three lives: the public life, the private life and the secret life ... ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Secret Life quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think, and now I know a great secret of life, for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements , and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. ~ Og Mandino
Secret Life quotes by Og Mandino
In the so-called age of ignorance before Islam, our ancestors used to form their gods from dates and eat them when in need. Who is more ignorant then, dear sir, I or those who ate their gods?
You might say: "It is better for people to eat their gods than for the gods to eat them."
But I'd respond: "Yes, but their gods were made of dates."
--The Secret Life of Saeed, the Pessoptimist ~ Emile Habiby
Secret Life quotes by Emile Habiby
I look out again at the sun-my first full gaze. It is blood-red and men are walking about on rooftops. Everything above the horizon is clear to me. It is like Easter Sunday. Death is behind me and birth too. I am going to live now among the life maladies. I am going to live the spiritual life of the pygmy, the secret life of the little man in the wilderness of the bush. Inner and outer have changed places. Equilibrium is no longer the goal-the scales must be destroyed. Let me hear you promise again all those sunny things you carry inside you. Let me try to believe for one day, while I rest in the open, that the sun brings good tidings. Let me rot in splendor while the sun bursts in your womb. I believe all your lies implicitly. I take you as the personification of evil, as the destroyer of the soul, as the maharanee of the night. Tack your womb up on my wall, so that I may remember you. We must get going. Tomorrow, tomorrow ... ~ Henry Miller
Secret Life quotes by Henry Miller
There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience. ~ Amy Lee
Secret Life quotes by Amy Lee
Kindness is ever the begetter of kindness. ~ Sophocles
Secret Life quotes by Sophocles
When I began writing The Night Bookmobile, it was a story about a woman's secret life as a reader. As I worked it also became a story about the claims that books place on their readers, the imbalance between our inner and outer lives, a cautionary tale of the seductions of the written word. It became a vision of the afterlife as a library, of heaven as a funky old camper filled with everything you've ever read. What is this heaven? What is it we desire from the hours, weeks, lifetimes we devote to books? What would you sacrifice to sit in that comfy chair with perfect light for an afternoon in eternity, reading the perfect book, forever? ~ Audrey Niffenegger
Secret Life quotes by Audrey Niffenegger
"Just try and remember," I said slowly," that if God had intended men to fly He'd have given us wings. So all flying is flying in the face of nature. It's unnatural, wicked and stuffed with risks all the time. The secret to flying is learning to minimize the risks." "Or perhaps - the secret of life is to choose your risks?" ~ Gavin Lyall
Secret Life quotes by Gavin Lyall
Art and poetry cannot do without one another. Yet the two words are far from being synonymous. By Art I mean the creative or producing, work-making activity of the human mind. By Poetry I mean, not the particular art which consists in writing verses, but a process both more general and more primary: that intercommunication between the inner being of things and the inner being of the human Self which is a kind of divination (as was realized in ancient times; the Latin vates was both a poet and a diviner). Poetry, in this sense, is the secret life of each and all of the arts. ~ Jacques Maritain
Secret Life quotes by Jacques Maritain
Maybe he really did have a very rich secret life," I suggested.
"Nah."
"Nah," sneered the bartender. "He was just one of those kids who made model airplanes and jerked off all the time. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Secret Life quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Daniel supposed he had a secret life. Most people did; it was hardly possible to live without one. ~ P.D. James
Secret Life quotes by P.D. James
Some readers may be disturbed that I wrote 'The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson' in Emily's own voice. I wasn't trying to steal her thunder or her music. I simply wanted to imagine my way into the head and heart of Emily Dickinson. ~ Jerome Charyn
Secret Life quotes by Jerome Charyn
We all have a right to our private lives; it's living a secret life that gets us in trouble. ~ Ellen Crosby
Secret Life quotes by Ellen Crosby
I often have a few scents depending on if I'm playing a character. The character may be wearing a scent that perhaps I wouldn't wear. We've all got different moods and ways we want to express ourselves; scent is a very powerful way to let people in to your secret life. ~ Cate Blanchett
Secret Life quotes by Cate Blanchett
Obviously a garden is not the wilderness but an assembly of shapes, most of them living, that owes some share of its composition, it's appearance, to human design and effort, human conventions and convenience, and the human pursuit of that elusive, indefinable harmony that we call beauty. It has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. It is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why it is never finished. ~ W.S. Merwin
Secret Life quotes by W.S. Merwin
You want to know the meaning of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? ~ Kahlil Gibran
Secret Life quotes by Kahlil Gibran
As I walked, I began to hear the sound of running water. It's impossible to hear that sound and not go searching for the source. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
A God all mercy is a God unjust. ~ Edward Young
Secret Life quotes by Edward Young
Trust in things being as they are is the secret of life. But we don't want to hear that. I can absolutely trust that in the next year my life is going to be changed, different, yet always just the way it is. ~ Joko Beck
Secret Life quotes by Joko Beck
Words are the most beautiful things existed in the world, but they die as fast as they were born, unless you convert them to act!
The Secret Life of Bees ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret. ~ Tina Turner
Secret Life quotes by Tina Turner
For he was aware of the great secret of life: Women don't look for handsome men. Women look for men who have had beautiful women. Having an ugly mistress is therefore a fatal mistake. ~ Milan Kundera
Secret Life quotes by Milan Kundera
I'm glad I went through all the normal teenage dramas that a lot of people go through. I can really relate to 'Secret Life' because I witnessed those similar struggles. ~ Francia Raisa
Secret Life quotes by Francia Raisa
Perhaps I don't know enough yet to find the right words for it, but I think I can describe it. It happened again just a moment ago. I don't know how to put it except by saying that I see things in two different ways-everything, ideas included. If I make an effort to find any difference in them, each of them is the same today as it was yesterday, but as soon as I shut my eyes they're suddenly transformed, in a different light. Perhaps I went wrong about the imaginary numbers. If I get to them by going straight along inside mathematics, so to speak, they seem quite natural. It's only if I look at them directly, in all their strangeness, that they seem impossible. But of course I may be all wrong about this, I know too little about it. But I wasn't wrong about Basini. I wasn't wrong when I couldn't turn my ear away from the faint trickling sound in the high wall or my eye from the silent, swirling dust going up in the beam of light from a lamp. No, I wasn't wrong when I talked about things having a second, secret life that nobody takes any notice of! I-I don't mean it literally-it's not that things are alive, it's not that Basini seemed to have two faces-it was more as if I had a sort of second sight and saw all this not with the eyes of reason. Just as I can feel an idea coming to life in my mind, in the same way I feel something alive in me when I look at things and stop thinking. There's something dark in me, deep under all my thoughts, something I can't measure out with thou ~ Robert Musil
Secret Life quotes by Robert Musil
The wife has begun planning a secret life. In it, she is an art monster. She puts on yoga pants and says she is going to yoga, then pulls off onto a country lane and writes in tiny cramped writing on a grocery list She thinks she should go off her meds maybe so as to write more fluidly. Possibly this is not a good idea.
But only possibly. ~ Jenny Offill
Secret Life quotes by Jenny Offill
I am suddenly comsumed by nostalgia for the little girl who was me, who loved the fields and believed in God, who spent winter days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew and sucking menthol cough drops, who could keep a secret. ~ Audrey Niffenegger
Secret Life quotes by Audrey Niffenegger
I smile when I'm angry , I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by. But I know what is wrong and I know what is right , and I'd die for the truth in my secret life . ~ Leonard Cohen
Secret Life quotes by Leonard Cohen
I found the secret of life to be body placement. ~ Brian Williams
Secret Life quotes by Brian Williams
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. ~ Groucho Marx
Secret Life quotes by Groucho Marx
Jesus taught that the secret life we have with God is one of the true tests of the genuineness of our relationship with him. ~ Robert Whitlow
Secret Life quotes by Robert Whitlow
So many masks. Was she the only one who had no secret life, no other self in marrow or mind? ~ Clive Barker
Secret Life quotes by Clive Barker
A God must have a God for company.
And lo! thou hast the Son-God to thy friend.
Thou honour'st his obedience, he thy law.
Into thy secret life-will he doth see;
Thou fold'st him round in live love perfectly-
One two, without beginning, without end;
In love, life, strength, and truth, perfect without a flaw. ~ George MacDonald
Secret Life quotes by George MacDonald
I am finding myself: it's deadly because only death concludes me. But I bear it until the end. I'll tell you a secret: life is deadly. I'll have to interrupt everything to tell you this: death is the impossible and intangible. Death is just future to such an extent that there are those who cannot bear it and commit suicide. It's as life said the following: and there simply was no following. ~ Clarice Lispector
Secret Life quotes by Clarice Lispector
And then he left the palace to roam the streets of Ombria, where he painted shadows as he searched for light within them, painted thick, barred doors, as he searched in their hewn, scarred grains for what it was they hid, painted high windowless walls as if, rebuilding them stone by stone on paper, he could dismantle them and finally see the secret life behind the real. ~ Patricia A. McKillip
Secret Life quotes by Patricia A. McKillip
The Secret Life of Bees proves that a family can be found where you least expect it-maybe not under your own roof, but in that magical place where you find love. The Secret Life of Bees is a gift, filled with hope! ~ Luanne Rice
Secret Life quotes by Luanne Rice
Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace, where certain rules, conventions, laws, and social customs keep most of us in line. Private lives are lived out in the presence of family, friends, and neighbors who must be considered and respected even though the rules and proscriptions are looser than what's allowed in public. But in our secret lives, inside our own heads, almost anything goes. ~ Robert Fulghum
Secret Life quotes by Robert Fulghum
Like many other men, Swann had a naturally lazy mind and lacked imagination. He knew perfectly well as a general truth that human life is full of contrasts, but in the case of each individual human being he imagined all that part of his or her life with which he was not familiar as being identical with the part with which he was. He imagined what was kept secret from him in the light of what was revealed. ~ Marcel Proust
Secret Life quotes by Marcel Proust
The secret of life is in art. ~ Oscar Wilde
Secret Life quotes by Oscar Wilde
Death is profoundly meaningful. Discovering what it is in itself we will know the secret of life. ~ Samael Aun Weor
Secret Life quotes by Samael Aun Weor
To imagine wasn't to escape but to go deeper; to see through to the secret life of the world. ~ Alison MacLeod
Secret Life quotes by Alison MacLeod
All great shows, she told me when I was little (and still learning to flex the tiny muscles in my esophagus), depend on the most ordinary objects. We can be a weary, cynical lot - we grow old and see only what suits us, and what is marvelous can often pass us by. A kitchen knife. A bulb of glass. A human body. That something so common should be so surprising - why, we forget it. We take it for granted. We assume that our sight is reliable, that our deeds are straightforward, that our words have one meaning. But life is uncommon and strange; it is full of intricacies and odd, confounding turns. So onstage we remind them just how extraordinary the ordinary can be. This, she said, is the tiger in the grass. It's the wonder that hides in plain sight, the secret life that flourishes just beyond the screen. For you are not showing them a hoax or a trick, just a new way of seeing what's already in front of them. This, she told me, is your mark on the world. This is the story that you tell. ~ Leslie Parry
Secret Life quotes by Leslie Parry
Life is a secret lease from God and we should not allow ourselves to be bruised. Family life is our strength and success. ~ Joseph Losey
Secret Life quotes by Joseph Losey
It occurred to them for the first time in their lives that what's divine can come in dark skin. ~ Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life Of Bees
Secret Life quotes by Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life Of Bees
As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world. ~ Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Secret Life quotes by Jonathan Rhys Meyers
My pictures had and have secret lives, and so there were things I did not tell, a lot of stuff I did not say back then which I'm saying now ... I intend to continue allowing forms of secret life to paintings I'm working on right now because it excites me to do that ... ~ R. B. Kitaj
Secret Life quotes by R. B. Kitaj
Christ is known only by them that receive Him into their love, their faith, their deep want; known only as He is enshrined within, felt as a Divine force, breathed in the inspirations of the secret life. ~ Horace Bushnell
Secret Life quotes by Horace Bushnell
Everyone has a secret life. Perhaps yours is merely a gossamer web of thoughts and fantasies woven in the hidden furrows of your mind. Or furtive deeds performed on the sly or betrayals large and small that, if revealed, would change how you are perceived.
-Dracula in Love by Karen Essex ~ Karen Essex
