We must recognize that we're all part of a web of life around the world. Anytime you extinguish a species, the consequences are serious. ~ Gaylord Nelson
Serious Life quotes by Gaylord Nelson
[A]ny notion of the serious life of leisure, as well as men's taste and capacity to live it, had disappeared. Leisure became entertainment. ~ Allan Bloom
Serious Life quotes by Allan Bloom
Life is so short, so beautiful. Don't be so serious about work. Enjoy the lives. ~ Jack Ma
Serious Life quotes by Jack Ma
I am only serious about 20% of the time; one of the great joys of my life is the fact that I alone know when that is. ~ Mark Richards
Serious Life quotes by Mark Richards
Like other kinds of intelligence, the storyteller's is partly
natural, partly trained. It is composed of several qualities, most
of which, in normal people, are signs of either immaturity or
incivility: wit (a tendency to make irreverent connections);
obstinacy and a tendency toward churlishness (a refusal to
believe what all sensible people know is true); childishness (an
apparent lack of mental focus and serious life purpose, a fondness
for daydreaming and telling pointless lies, a lack of proper
respect, mischievousness, an unseemly propensity for crying
over nothing); a marked tendency toward oral or anal fixation
or both (the oral manifested by excessive eating, drinking,
smoking, and chattering; the anal by nervous cleanliness and
neatness coupled with a weird fascination with dirty jokes);
remarkable powers of eidetic recall, or visual memory (a usual
feature of early adolescence and mental retardation); a strange
admixture of shameless playfulness and embarrassing earnestness,
the latter often heightened by irrationally intense feelings
for or against religion; patience like a cat's; a criminal streak of
cunning; psychological instability; recklessness, impulsiveness,
and improvidence; and finally, an inexplicable and incurable
addiction to stories, written or oral, bad or good. ~ John Gardner
Serious Life quotes by John Gardner
My whole life, people have been like, 'I don't know if you're playing or serious.' ~ Craig Robinson
Serious Life quotes by Craig Robinson
We are always afraid to start something that we want to make very good, true, and serious. ~ Brenda Ueland
Serious Life quotes by Brenda Ueland
There hasn't been a serious life-style trend since the couch potato was sighted, in about 1986, on one of its rare forays to the video store. Cocooning remains a significant mass enterprise, encouraged by the availability of five hundred new cable channels and microwavable popcorn. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Serious Life quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Yet she was so sweet. She wasn't a hard-ass, wasn't jaded after all that had been done to her. In bed, she was giving and generous. And she smiled a lot. She seemed to enjoy life.
Whereas he'd been nothing but a giant pain in the ass, taking for granted everything that had been given to him. He'd had it so easy, while his parents had struggled to give him a good life so all he had to do was go out and live his dream.
He and Savannah were as different as night and day. How could she tolerate being around him? He was nothing but a spoiled football player who craved the spotlight. He didn't deserve to be sharing a bed with her. She needed someone who cared for her, who thought of nothing but her, who'd give up everything just to give her the kind of life she deserved.
He sucked in a breath and realized it was time he made some serious life changes. It was time to go all in and stop hesitating about the things he really wanted in his career. In his life.
It was time to start taking some chances. ~ Jaci Burton
Serious Life quotes by Jaci Burton
Before, models had that rock star life and it was all about going to the parties and having that glamorous life, and I think these days, models are more like businesswomen and the whole industry takes it really serious. ~ Alessandra Ambrosio
Serious Life quotes by Alessandra Ambrosio
I made the choice long ago to write about real life. And life is both serious and funny. ~ Paula Danziger
Serious Life quotes by Paula Danziger
That was what living a serious life meant, wasn't it, honoring the gravity of things by not pretending they were light? ~ Howard Jacobson
Serious Life quotes by Howard Jacobson
Life is too short to be serious ~ Cory Monteith
Serious Life quotes by Cory Monteith
Every single person who's drifted in and out of your life is a part of your divinely chosen experience. So, give thanks for all of these people, and take serious note of what they brought you. ~ Wayne Dyer
Serious Life quotes by Wayne Dyer
The hardest task in a girl's life is to prove to a man that his intentions are serious. ~ Helen Rowland
Serious Life quotes by Helen Rowland
Life is as serious a thing as death. ~ Philip James Bailey
Serious Life quotes by Philip James Bailey
Various kinds of self-forgetting, usually accompanied by illusions and myths, make it possible to live without the intransigent facing of death-in the sense of always thinking about it and what it means for life and the things dear in life-which is characteristic of a serious life. ~ Allan Bloom
Serious Life quotes by Allan Bloom
A serious life, by definition, is a life one reflects on, a life one tries to make sense of and bear witness to. Truth in a memoir is achieved not through a recital of actual events; it is achieved when the reader comes to believe that the writer is working hard to engage with the experience at hand. What happened to the writer is not what matters; what matters is the large sense that the writer is able to make of what happened. ~ Vivian Gornick
Serious Life quotes by Vivian Gornick
You are going to meet
two kinds of people in your life,
some will find you in tranquility
and leave you broken,
some will meet you in turmoil
and lead you to serenity
- peace and agitation ~ Jyoti Patel
Serious Life quotes by Jyoti Patel
Keep on reinventing yourself! Always strive to be a better version of yourself! ~ Avijeet Das
Serious Life quotes by Avijeet Das
Everyone deserves 100 years of good life before starting to grow old. ~ Patricia Gulley
Serious Life quotes by Patricia Gulley
I think my uncle was probably the biggest influence in my life. We grew up in the same house, and he was just a really great, hard-working, honest, ethical person. ~ Catherine Bell
Serious Life quotes by Catherine Bell
life has it's capacities and it's in-capacities of the distance that it takes us. ~ Marcelle Hinkson
Serious Life quotes by Marcelle Hinkson
And suddenly that we were laughing out loud, laughing as if there were no power left in us save laughter. ~ Ayn Rand
Serious Life quotes by Ayn Rand
Never say never - you don't know what's going to happen in the future. ~ Nikki Sanderson
Serious Life quotes by Nikki Sanderson
The multiplication of technologies in the name of efficiency is actually eradicating free time by making it possible to maximize the time and place for production and minimize the unstructured travel time in between ... Too, the rhetoric of efficiency around these technologies suggests that what cannot be quantified cannot be valued-that that vast array of pleasures which fall into the category of doing nothing in particular, of woolgathering, cloud-gazing, wandering, window-shopping, are nothing but voids to be filled by something more definite, more production, or faster-paced ... I like walking because it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought or thoughtfulness. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Serious Life quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I've ever met in my life. She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people. It's good she's in D.C. and I'm in New York. I'd spit on her if I saw her. ~ Geraldo Rivera
Serious Life quotes by Geraldo Rivera
Life is so diversified that to any statement I could make about living organisms there are exceptions. Because of the many exceptions, I should qualify everything I say with hedging phrases such as 'generally,' 'usually,' and 'almost always' But I'm afraid the constant repetition of these hedges will slow me down and bore you. So let's make a pact now that I forego the hedging phrases and you are to understand that almost all my statements may have rare exceptions. ~ Lee Spetner
Serious Life quotes by Lee Spetner
Look: each moment is a cradle and a casket: may all life and all death seem strange to you. ~ Marcel Schwob
Serious Life quotes by Marcel Schwob
Christians want to whine to everyone under the sun about their problems, instead of actually going to the only one who not only cares, but can actually do something about their problems. Next time you are sick, broken hearted or having problems, before you call your friends, post it on Facebook, or tell your pet fish, try going to God with it, and see how much better that works for you. ~ Steve C. Roberts
Serious Life quotes by Steve C. Roberts
The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Serious Life quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Serious readers know the singular pleasure of handling a well-made book - the heft and texture of the case, the rasp of the spine as you lift the cover, the sweet, dusty aroma of yellowed pages as they pass between your fingers. A book is more than a vessel for ideas; It is a living thing in need of love, warmth, and protection. ~ Jonathan Auxier
Serious Life quotes by Jonathan Auxier
Let things take their natural course, they will generate their own momentum, that if you try to interfere with will only result in a crash. Physics knows what it is doing, it applies to everyday life, emotion, feeling, desire, and every thought in our tiny little minds, as much as it does to thermodynamics, gravity, nuclear force, and space & time. Don't try too hard looking for answers, you don't need to understand the wavelengths of light and refraction to awe at the beauty of a rainbow. ~ Graham Mitchell
Serious Life quotes by Graham Mitchell
Nothing, in truth, can ever replace a lost companion. Old comrades cannot be manufactured. There is nothing that can equal the treasure of so many shared memories, so many bad times endured together, so many quarrels, reconciliations, heartfelt impulses. Friendships like that cannot be reconstructed. If you plant an oak, you will hope in vain to sit soon under its shade.
For such is life. We grow rich as we plant through the early years, but then come the years when time undoes our work and cuts down our trees. One by one our comrades deprive us of their shade, and within our mourning we always feel now the secret grief of growing old.
If I search among my memories for those whose taste is lasting, if I write the balance sheet of the moments that truly counted, I surely find those that no fortune could have bought me. You cannot buy the friendship of a companion bound to you forever by ordeals endured together. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Serious Life quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
Everyone thinks that they are some form of genius until they try to rationalise with a child. ~ Gillian Duce
Serious Life quotes by Gillian Duce
It all felt like a terribly long time. It would have meant that I had to make five movies in five years and if you don't like the movies, too bad. I guess I just wanted my freedom, and I think my life has been incredibly enhanced as a result. ~ Joseph Fiennes
Serious Life quotes by Joseph Fiennes
I want to die, stripped, by myself, of all fantasies. That's the goal. I want to feel what is real, at the end, and only what is real. Grip fiercely with my eyes all that is around me
the people of my intimate life, the objects in the room, without the evasions of fantasies. ~ Frank Lentricchia
Serious Life quotes by Frank Lentricchia
The forest stretched on seemingly forever with the most monotonous predictability, each tree just like the next - trunk, branches, leaves; trunk, branches, leaves. Of course a tree would have taken a different view of the matter. We all tend to see the way others are alike and how we differ, and it's probably just as well we do, since that prevents a great deal of confusion. But perhaps we should remind ourselves from time to time that ours is a very partial view, and that the world is full of a great deal more variety than we ever manage to take in. ~ Thomas M. Disch
Serious Life quotes by Thomas M. Disch
I have no regrets in my life even the crazy things I've been in. It all made me the I am today and I wouldn't change anything. I'm happy with who I am! ~ Alan Cumming
Serious Life quotes by Alan Cumming
For Jesus, compassion was more than a quality of God and an individual virtue: it was a social paradigm, the core value for life in community. To put it boldly: compassion for Jesus was political. ~ Marcus J. Borg
Serious Life quotes by Marcus J. Borg
Maybe all the secrets of life were written on the surface of leaves, waiting to be translated. If I touched them long enough, I might be given some information no one else had. ~ Silas House
Serious Life quotes by Silas House
The Reason"

My life is vile
I hate it so
I'll wait awhile
And then I'll go.

Why wait at all?
Hope springs alive,
Good may befall
I yet may thrive.

It is because I can't make up my mind
If God is good, impotent or unkind. ~ Stevie Smith
Serious Life quotes by Stevie Smith
She was tired of everyone wanting to go to heaven, nobody wanting to die. The only thing worth grieving over, she said, was that sometimes there was more beauty in this life than the world could bear. ~ Colum McCann
Serious Life quotes by Colum McCann
Our soul is an instrument of music if we choose to play it with love! ~ Sima Mittal
Serious Life quotes by Sima Mittal
It is a curious fact that small boys are more terrified of their babysitters than small girls are. In part, this is because small girls and babysitters, who are usually slightly larger girls, belong to the same species, and therefore understand each other. Small boys, on the other hand, do not understand girls, and therefore being looked after by one is a little like a hamster being looked after by a shark. If you are a small boy, it may be some consolation to you to know that even large boys do not understand girls, and girls, by and large, do not understand boys. This makes adult life very interesting. ~ John Connolly
Serious Life quotes by John Connolly
Of all there is to know in this world, of all the mysteries and complexities of life, the knowledge of God and his ways are the most critical. ~ Joe Thorn
Serious Life quotes by Joe Thorn
No one is more influential in your life than you are because no one talks to you more than you do. It's a fact that you and I are in an endless conversation with ourselves. ~ Paul David Tripp
Serious Life quotes by Paul David Tripp
Life is special when you reach out beyond yourself to be a true servant leader for others. ~ Ken Blanchard
Serious Life quotes by Ken Blanchard
The simplest things are the hardest to understand. ~ Kevin Wilson
Serious Life quotes by Kevin Wilson
Don't ever discourage someone from trying to better their life and health ~ Kara Goucher
Serious Life quotes by Kara Goucher
When anyone abuses you verbally, do not react. Because the very words that they are using against you are the very words that they are defining themselves as! ~ Avijeet Das
Serious Life quotes by Avijeet Das
My life depended on some math I'd done earlier. If I dropped a sign or added two numbers wrong, I might never wake up. ~ Andy Weir
Serious Life quotes by Andy Weir
How extraordinary it is to be here at all. Awareness of death can jolt us awake to the sensuality of existence. Breath is no longer a routine inhalation of air but a quivering intake of life. The eye is quickened to the play of light and shade and color, the ear to the intricate medley of sound. This is where the meditation leads. Stay with it; rest with it. Notice how distraction is a flight from this, an escape from awe to worry and plans. ~ Stephen Batchelor
Serious Life quotes by Stephen Batchelor
Miyata was fluent and intelligent. Nothing was beyond his curiosity. He seemed to be above the confusion of life, as if he had been commissioned to spend his own in undisturbed judgement of the world about him, protected always by a mandate from the gods. They spoke briefly of Korea and then of the past war with the United States. Miyata had been in Japan for its entire duration and must have been deeply affected, but when he talked about it, it was without bitterness. Wars were not of his doing. He considered them almost poetically, as if they were seasons, the cruel winters of man, even though almost all the work he had done in the 1930s and early 1940s had been lost when his house was burned in the great incendiary raid of 1944. He described the night vividly, the endless hours, the bombers thundering low over the storms of fire. ~ James Salter
Serious Life quotes by James Salter
When I create, I feel that I am a participant in the grand pageant of life, a part of the ongoing creative engine of the universe. I don't know if that feeling is enough to replace the solace of religion in the lives of most people, but it is for me. ~ Greg Graffin
Serious Life quotes by Greg Graffin
First, Freud must be – as it were – turned on his head. It is not that physical 'sex' is basic and 'God' ephemeral; rather, it is God who is basic, and 'desire' the precious clue that ever tugs at the heart, reminding the human soul – however dimly – of its created source. Hence...DESIRE IS MORE FUNDAMENTAL THAN 'SEX'. It is more fundamental, ultimately, because desire is an ontological category belonging primarily to God, and only secondarily to humans as a token of their createdness 'in the image'. But in God, 'desire' of course signifies no LACK – as it manifestly does in humans. Rather, it connotes that plenitude of longing love that God has for God's own creation and for its full and ecstatic participation in the divine, trinitarian, life. ~ Sarah Coakley
Serious Life quotes by Sarah Coakley
Men will get no more out of life than they put into it. ~ William J.H. Boetcker
Serious Life quotes by William J.H. Boetcker
Bart Giamatti did not grow up (as he had dreamed) to play second base for the Red Sox. He became a professor at Yale, and then, in time president of the National Baseball League. He never lost his love for the Boston Red Sox. It was as a Red Sox fan, he later realized that human beings are fallen, and that life is filled with disappointment. The path to comprehending Calvinism in modern America, he decided, begins at Fenway Park. ~ David Halberstam
Serious Life quotes by David Halberstam
You meet dozens of people who tell you you can't do it. Surround yourself with the people who believe you will do it. Seek out and spend time with those rare people who tell you, no BS, why you haven't done it yet, what it takes to do it, and how they could help you do it. Note how this advice works whether 'it' is robbing a bank, opening a gallery, or writing a bestseller. "It" is up to you. But you can't do it alone. ~ Heather Grace Stewart
Serious Life quotes by Heather Grace Stewart
Will there be titty? Sure. Boom! I'm a producer. Where you been all our life, boy? We been lookin for you in Hollywood. ~ Bill Hicks
Serious Life quotes by Bill Hicks
If we are to begin to try and understand life as it will be in 1960,
we must begin by realizing that food, clothing and shelter will cost
as little as air ~ John Langdon-Davies
Serious Life quotes by John Langdon-Davies
Devotion to your goal makes you live a clean and orderly life , given to search for truthand to helping people, and realization makes noble virtue easy and spontaneous, by removing for good the obstacles in the shape of desires and fears and wrong ideas . ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Serious Life quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There are people, of course, who think it unscientific to take anything seriously; they do not want their intellectual playground disturbed by graver considerations. But the doctor who fails to take account of man's feelings for values commits a serious blunder, and if he tries to correct the mysterious and well-nigh inscrutable workings of nature with his so-called scientific attitude, he is merely putting his shallow sophistry in place of nature's healing processes. ~ C. G. Jung
