We all end up living secret lives. We create what we are willing to admire and admiring what we shouldn't confess to the secret ofour own sin, our own insufficiency, our own sadness. We all end up taking our secrets into the world and handing them over to strangers, only to realize it's often too late to claim them back. The very nature of time passing is sad beyond words. Memories mean they're gone. ~ Alexander Theroux
Secret Lives quotes by Alexander Theroux
We all have secret lives. The life of excretion; the world of inappropriate sexual fantasies; our real hopes, our terror of death; our experience of shame; the world of pain; and our dreams. No one else knows these lives. Consciousness is solitary. Each person lives in that bubble universe that rests under the skull, alone. ~ Kim Stanley Robinson
Secret Lives quotes by Kim Stanley Robinson
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 Lives quotes by Catherine Hardwicke
All good animals have secret lives. ~ Kate Bernheimer
Secret Lives quotes by Kate Bernheimer
Now hear a new truth. The Great Mother Herself will be forced to hide from those who are coming. She will seem to disappear while they grow strong, but someday She will return. Although our children and their children, perhaps to the thousandth generation, must live in the new world that has forgotten Her, they must never forget. She will return. ~ Barbara Ardinger
Secret Lives quotes by Barbara Ardinger
One side of me is very busy paying attention to the details of life, the humanity of people, catching the street voices, the middle-class, upper-middle-class secret lives of Turks. The other side is interested in history and class and gender, trying to get all of society in a very realistic way. ~ Orhan Pamuk
Secret Lives quotes by Orhan Pamuk
Even though they were staring at each other across a busy street, the little old lady and the gang of adolescent skinheads might just as well have been nose to nose. They stared. No one blinked. No one backed down. This little old lady had never in her life backed down before mere adolescents.
Her daughter had what was perhaps a better grasp of what was perhaps reality. "Mama," she said as she shifted her bag of groceries to her other arm, "Come on. Let's go. They're skinheads. Probably up from Bircher country. ~ Barbara Ardinger
Secret Lives quotes by Barbara Ardinger
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 Lives quotes by Robert Fulghum
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 Lives quotes by R. B. Kitaj
I wanted to let the world know that no one had a perfect life, that even the people who seemed to have it all had their secrets. ~ Jeannette Walls
Secret Lives quotes by Jeannette Walls
Here's my impression of you when we met the other day: you HAVE changed completely--but I wish you hadn't. I think I understand why you're on your best behavior at school, and I suppose I ought to praise you for showing such an improvement, but please don't force yourself to change too much. Please, at least when you're with me, be the same bright Naomi who chats about everything under the sun. You and I have grown up in different environments, we have different lives, and we also think differently--yet in spite of all these differences I'm sure we can be the best of friends. One day we may come to share the same ideas, but I'd like to believe that it's a natural growing together. ~ Shizuko Gō
Secret Lives quotes by Shizuko Gō
We are for breeding purposes: we aren't concubines, geisha girls, courtesans. On the contrary: everything possible has been done to remove us from that category. There is supposed to be nothing entertaining about us, no room is to be permitted for the flowering of secret lusts; no special favors are to be wheedled, by them or us, there are to be no toeholds for love. We are two-legged wombs, that's all: sacred vessels, ambulatory chalices. So ~ Margaret Atwood
Secret Lives quotes by Margaret Atwood
If you are interested in happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three Baudelaire youngsters. ~ Lemony Snicket
Secret Lives quotes by Lemony Snicket
We who have witnessed the obscenity of war and experienced its horror and terrible consequences have an obligation to rise above our pain and suffering and turn the tragedy of our lives into a triumph. ~ Ron Kovic
Secret Lives quotes by Ron Kovic
Innocent people's lives were ruined, where there are necessarily lots of idiots. ~ Mehmet Kececi
Secret Lives quotes by Mehmet Kececi
I want to go somewhere good when I read, not into someone else's crappy life." "Good lives aren't worth reading about," he argues. "I read about the struggle. Other people's growing pains." "I like happy endings," I say. "Real life never has a happy ending." "God, you're depressing. I don't know why we're friends. ~ Tarryn Fisher
Secret Lives quotes by Tarryn Fisher
{T}hen he whispered something that turned Reed pale and bloodless--and that Reed wouldn't tell about until years later. 'You're the one lied about Meadow Creek,' Kelly said. 'Lied about finding her. Why would you do that to me?'

We left him there as the drawknife of dusk peeled back the world. ~ Matthew Neill Null
Secret Lives quotes by Matthew Neill Null
The secret of dealing successfully with a child is not to be its parent. ~ Mell Lazarus
Secret Lives quotes by Mell Lazarus
But maybe everybody was like that, all of us living the lives we had to while dreaming of the lives we wanted. ~ Karen White
Secret Lives quotes by Karen White
The encompassing silence and the ease(or difference) of my companions have left my soul free to contemplate, to drink in the wonder of this place. How fitting it is that it should have been here that Moses heard the word of God! For here,where Man -if he is to live-lives perforce so close to Nature and by her Grace, I feel so much closer to the entire mystery of Creation that it would not surprise me at all were I to be vouchsafed a vision or a revelation; indeed it would seem in the very order of things that such an epiphany would happen. ~ Ahdaf Soueif
Secret Lives quotes by Ahdaf Soueif
Humans are omnivores, which means we are adapted to eat plants, fungi, and animals. The nutrients in the plant foods we consume depend on the genetics of the individual species, the quality of the soil they are grown in, and the weather conditions during that time. For animal foods, nutrient levels are dependent on what the animals eat throughout their lives and are also affected by their stress and hormone levels. Any toxins or environmental pollutants that the animals and plants are subjected to have the power to impact human health as well. ~ Darya Pino Rose
Secret Lives quotes by Darya Pino Rose
Every cuisine tells a story. Jewish food tells the story of an uprooted, migrating people and their vanished worlds. It lives in people's minds and has been kept alive because of what it evokes and represents. ~ Claudia Roden
Secret Lives quotes by Claudia Roden
Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit - and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame ~ Jeff VanderMeer
Secret Lives quotes by Jeff VanderMeer
Limitation of aims is the mother of wisdom and the secret of achievement. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Secret Lives quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We are kept out of the Garden by our own fear and desire in relation to what we think to be the goods of our life. ~ Joseph Campbell
Secret Lives quotes by Joseph Campbell
He had forgotten that anything could be so tender. He breaks the bun open, revealing glossy bits of pork and glaze, a secret red heart.

When he puts it to his mouth, it is like a kiss: sweet and salty and warm. ~ Celeste Ng
Secret Lives quotes by Celeste Ng
People ask me all the time what or who my influences are. To be honest, it would take a decent set of encyclopedias to get them all down. I am here today to let the world know my greatest influence, my secret ingredient, really. What inspires me? That's simple: COFFEE. ~ Corey Taylor
Secret Lives quotes by Corey Taylor
What have we to offer, really, other than who we are and what God has been pouring into our lives? It was not by accident that you were born; it was not by chance that you have the desires you do. The Victorious Trinity has planned on your being here now, "for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14). We need you. ~ John Eldredge
Secret Lives quotes by John Eldredge
It is a poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mien, inventions and actions of others. ~ Johann Kaspar Lavater
Secret Lives quotes by Johann Kaspar Lavater
Let's be grateful for what we have. Let's be mindful of those who have less. Let's appreciate those who hold a special place in our lives, and make sure they know it. And let's think about those who can't spend the holiday with their loved ones - especially the members of our military serving overseas. ~ Barack Obama
Secret Lives quotes by Barack Obama
The secret of happiness is simply this ... your happiness does NOT depend on getting what you want. ~ Michael Neill
Secret Lives quotes by Michael Neill
I suppose there's a time in practically every young boy's life when he's affected by that wonderful disease of puppy love. I don't mean the kind a boy has for the pretty little girl that lives down the road. I mean the real kind, the kind that has four small feet and a wiggly tail, and sharp little teeth that can gnaw on a boy's finger; the kind a boy can romp and play with, even eat and sleep with. ~ Wilson Rawls
Secret Lives quotes by Wilson Rawls
I've read about how alienated we've become, tethered to our devices, leery of real contact; how we are heading for a crisis of intimacy, as our ability to socialise withers and atrophies. But this is like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. We haven't just become alienated because we've subcontracted so many elements of our social and emotional lives to machines. It's no doubt a self-perpetuating cycle, but part of the impetus for inventing as well as buying these things is that contact is difficult, frightening, sometimes intolerably dangerous. ~ Olivia Laing
Secret Lives quotes by Olivia Laing
The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips
Pure as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips

The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts
They are wanted for mothers and wives
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest of lives.

The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl
There are few who can understand
But, oh! For the wise, loving home girls
There's a constant, steady demand. ~ J.H.Gray
Secret Lives quotes by J.H.Gray
It's your world, but I make my way in it. At fifteen, no, I couldn't stand up to you. The age of illusions, when we know nothing, we hope for everything; we're wandering in a mist ... And the half of the world that's never had any use for us, suddenly is besieging us. You need us, you adore us, you're suffering for us. You want everything--except to know what we think. You look deep in our eyes--and put your hand up our dress. You call us, "Pretty thing." That confuses us. The most beautiful woman, the highest ranked, lives half dazzled by constant attention, half stifled by obvious contempt. We think all we're good for is pleasing you--till one day, long acquaintance with you dispels the last mist. In a clear light, we suddenly see you as you are--and generally we start preferring ourselves. At thirty, I could finally say no--or really say yes. That's when you begin backing away from us. Now I'm full-grown. I pursue my happiness the same as any man. ~ Pierre-Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
Secret Lives quotes by Pierre-Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
Democratic leaders, whose power is ultimately dependent on popular support, are held accountable for failing to improve the lives of their citizens. Therefore, they have a powerful incentive to keep their societies peaceful and prosperous. ~ Natan Sharansky
Secret Lives quotes by Natan Sharansky
Many of us have a mental conception of what a Christian should be, and the lives of the saints become a hindrance to our concentration on God. ~ Oswald Chambers
Secret Lives quotes by Oswald Chambers
For better or worse, our lives are accelerating, and the only speed fast enough is instant. ~ Kevin Kelly
Secret Lives quotes by Kevin Kelly
There is no substitute for hard work and taking responsibility for own own lives. And there is no substitute for love, patience, kindness and acceptance. ~ Jose N Harris
Secret Lives quotes by Jose N Harris
A great sage is like a tree, he lives just to help others, just to make this world beautiful. ~ Debasish Mridha
Secret Lives quotes by Debasish Mridha
Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Secret Lives quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Christ never promises peace in the sense of no more struggle and suffering. Instead, he helps us to struggle and suffer as he did, in love, for one another. Christ does not give us security in the sense of something in this world, some cause, some principle, some value, which is forever. Instead, he tells us that there is nothing in this world that is forever, all flesh is grass. He does not promise us unlonely lives. His own life speaks loud of how, in a world where there is little love, love is always lonely. Instead of all these, the answer that he gives, I think, is himself. If we go to him for anything else, he may send us away empty or he may not. But if we go to him for himself, I believe that we go away always with this deepest of all our hungers filled. ~ Frederick Buechner
Secret Lives quotes by Frederick Buechner
Miracles can come and pass, we need to create space in our lives to invite and receive them. ~ Gary Edward Gedall
Secret Lives quotes by Gary Edward Gedall
The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. ~ Jean Giraudoux
Secret Lives quotes by Jean Giraudoux
The depth and strength of our character is defined by our moral code. People only reveal themselves when they're thrown out of the usual conditions of their lives. That's when the truth of who they are is revealed ... ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Secret Lives quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Many of us live in dysfunctional families, and so even if it's in a fairy tale, or perhaps because it's in a fairy tale, we have a chance to look at that side of our reflected lives differently. ~ Kenneth Branagh
Secret Lives quotes by Kenneth Branagh
By coming forward and sharing your story, you don't know the countless lives you change. ~ Mariska Hargitay
Secret Lives quotes by Mariska Hargitay
The tragedy in the life of a timid man is not necessarily that he is timorous, but obviously there is something that dies in him while he still lives. ~ Ogwo David Emenike You Are A Star
Secret Lives quotes by Ogwo David Emenike You Are A Star
Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss. ~ Allen Klein
Secret Lives quotes by Allen Klein
Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference? ~ Mary E. Pearson
Secret Lives quotes by Mary E. Pearson
To take Christ into our well-ordered, well-kept lives is in many ways to ask for trouble, for he will not leave well enough alone. ~ Ronnie McBrayer
Secret Lives quotes by Ronnie McBrayer
Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality. ~ Arnold Bennett
