Truth be told, even with Sophronia's arm muscles, vampires could hurl her a great deal farther than Sophronia could hurl vampires. A great tragedy of life, no doubt. The ~ Gail Carriger
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Gail Carriger
The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, buy unoffered prayer. ~ F.B. Meyer
Tragedy Of Life quotes by F.B. Meyer
...the real tragedy of life was that you got what you wanted... ~ Agatha Christie
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Agatha Christie
The greatest Tragedy of life is not death but what dies within us when we are still alive ~ Norman
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Norman
Well, the Story Girl was right. There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way ~ L.M. Montgomery
Tragedy Of Life quotes by L.M. Montgomery
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream ... It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin. ~ Benjamin E. Mays
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Benjamin E. Mays
The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Tragedy Of Life quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ~ Terri Garey
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Terri Garey
A fate without happiness is sadder than a love without destiny," said the monk. What had prompted the Buddhist monk to say that? I don't know. John and he had been chatting for a while before I joined their conversation. Afterwards, John and I talked about karma, and John said, "The reason why a fate without happiness is sadder than a love without destiny, is because, as sad as the outcome of love can be when it comes to an end or if not reciprocated, the tragedy of life is not a love without destiny, it is to live as if dead, and to let the life within you wither. ~ Jeanette Ringel
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jeanette Ringel
Into every life may come tragedy and triumph. Our goal is to meet both equally with serenity and radiant acquiescence. Yet even from the storm clouds of tragedy, rainbows can appear. ~ Aleksandra Layland
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Aleksandra Layland
Margarita was never short of money. She could buy whatever she liked. Her husband had plenty of interesting friends. Margarita never had to cook. Margarita knew nothing of the horrors of living in a shared flat. In short ... was she happy? Not for a moment. ~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mikhail Bulgakov
Why won't you help me?

You have to able to manage on your own. ~ Diane Samuels
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Diane Samuels
The tragedy of life is not found in failure but complacency. Not in you doing too much, but doing too little. Not in you living above your means, but below your capacity. It's not failure but aiming too low, that is life's greatest tragedy. ~ Benjamin E. Mays
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Benjamin E. Mays
The tragedy of life is not death, but fearing to live, allowing parts of us to wilt and die instead of flower and rejoice. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
In Darwin's work, time moves at two speeds: there is the vast abyss of time in which generations change and animals mutate and evolve; and then there is the gnat's-breath, hummingbird-heart time of creaturely existence, where our children are born and grow and, sometimes, die before us...The space between the tiny but heartfelt time of human life and the limitless time of Nature became Darwin's implicit subject. Religion had always reconciled quick time and deep time by pretending that the one was in some way a prelude to the other - a prelude or a porlogue or a trial or a treatment. Artists of the Romantic period, in an increasingly secularized age, thought that through some vague kind of transcendence they could bridge the gap. They couldn't. Nothing could. The tragedy of life is not that there is no God but that the generations through which it progresses are too tiny to count very much. There isn't a special providence in the fall of a sparrow, but try telling that to the sparrows. The human challenge that Darwin felt, and that his work still presents, is to see both times truly - not to attempt to humanize deep time, or to dismiss quick time, but to make enough of both without overlooking either. ~ Adam Gopnik
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Adam Gopnik
The real tragedy of life is not the fear of darkness, but it is to conform and follow the darkness in spite of fear. ~ Debasish Mridha
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
The sense of tragedy is that the world is not a pleasant little nest made for our protection, but a vast and largely hostile environment, in which we can achieve great things only by defying the gods; and that this defiance inevitably brings its own punishment. ~ Norbert Wiener
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Norbert Wiener
How tragic lives there are in this world! But there is a greater tragedy: People who have very hard lives often believe that they will have a better life after death! Losing hope in life and running after an absolute illusion is even a bigger tragedy! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I wondered what things what things became when you no longer needed them, and I wondered what the future would hold once we'd gotten past our personal tragedies and proven them ultimately survivable. ~ Robyn Schneider
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Robyn Schneider
The tragedy of life is when you do not know what to do with time ~ Sunday Adelaja
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Sunday Adelaja
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. -Albert Schweitzer ~ Albert Schweitzer
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Albert Schweitzer
The tragedy of life is not that a man loses but that he almost wins. ~ Heywood Hale Broun
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Heywood Hale Broun
Some people simply bury their heads in the sand and refuse to think about the sorrow of the world, but this is an unwise course, because, if we are entirely unprepared, the tragedy of life can be devastating. ~ Karen Armstrong
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Karen Armstrong
The tragedy of life, Mitchell, happens because you can never have everything and because you will even lose the graces you have once possessed. ~ Noha Alaa El-Din
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Noha Alaa El-Din
The tragedy of life is what dies in the hearts and souls of people while they live. ~ Albert Einstein
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Albert Einstein
Upon the death of her mother-in-law, Elearnor Roosevelt said, It is truly a tragedy of life to have spent 35 years with someone and upon her death, not to give it a second thought. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes bad things happen. Nothing caused them. They're nobody's fault and no one's to blame. They just happen. ~ Katherine Lampe
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Katherine Lampe
Every person will battle with false pride, a sense of loss and aloneness, and feeling defenseless in a world of endless trauma and tragedy. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself. ~ Norman Cousins
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Norman Cousins
The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live. ~ Norman Cousins
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Norman Cousins
Look, life is stressful. This is true everywhere. But life in Night Vale is more stressful. There are things lurking in the shadows. Not the projections of a worried mind, but literal Things, lurking, literally, in shadows. Conspiracies are hidden in every storefront, under every street, and floating in helicopters above. And with all that there is still the bland tragedy of life. Births, deaths, comings, goings, the gulf of subjectivity and bravado between us and everyone we care about. All is sorrow, as a man once said without really doing much about it. ~ Joseph Fink
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Joseph Fink
The tragedy of life is that sometimes we get what we want. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Tragedy Of Life quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
I live in Alexandria, Virginia. Near the Supreme Court chambers is a toll bridge across the Potomac. When in a rush, I pay the dollar toll and get home early. However, I usually drive outside the downtown section of the city and cross the Potomac on a free bridge. This bridge was placed outside the downtown Washington, DC area to serve a useful social service, getting drivers to drive the extra mile and help alleviate congestion during the rush hour. If I went over the toll bridge and through the barrier without paying the toll, I would be committing tax evasion ... If, however, I drive the extra mile and drive outside the city of Washington to the free bridge, I am using a legitimate, logical and suitable method of tax avoidance, and am performing a useful social service by doing so. For my tax evasion, I should be punished. For my tax avoidance, I should be commended. The tragedy of life today is that so few people know that the free bridge even exists. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
There is a spark of magic inside everyone. The tragedy of life is most people never realise their true potential, they live and die without ever turning that spark into a flame. Find your magic spark. It will turn your life into an unforgettable adventure, a bright, eternal flame that will live on much longer than you do. Live your life and set the world on fire ~ Michael Khatkar
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Michael Khatkar
Jokes are actually played by life, which after calls tragedies ~ Samar Sudha
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Samar Sudha
Sometimes you run away by yourself purely so someone who cares will come to find you. Half the time nobody does. That's the tragedy of life. ~ Lindsey Davis
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Lindsey Davis
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach. ~ Benjamin E. Mays
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Benjamin E. Mays
It is easy to forgive children who are afraid of the dark but the real tragedy of life is men who are afraid of the light. ~ Plato
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Plato
We can easily forgive a child for being afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light
~Plato~ ~ S.S. Segran
Tragedy Of Life quotes by S.S. Segran
Time makes everything mean and shabby and wrinkled. The tragedy of life, Howard, is not that the beautiful things die young, but that they grow old and mean. ~ Raymond Chandler
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Raymond Chandler
For I'm afraid of loneliness; shiveringly, terribly afraid. I don't mean the ordinary physical loneliness, for here I am, deliberately travelled away from London to get to it, to its spaciousness and healing. I mean that awful loneliness of spirit that is the ultimate tragedy of life. When you've got to that, really reached it, without hope, without escape, you die. You just can't bear it, and you die. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
Remember that we always love and think of you. Always. Mother. ~ Diane Samuels
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Diane Samuels
While you were anesthetized to the tragedy of life you were able to survive. When clarity was returned to you, when it was painstakingly restored, it could drive you mad. ~ Salman Rushdie
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Salman Rushdie

Tragedy Of Life quotes by L.M. Montgomery
The tragedy of life is not that man loses but that he almost wins. ~ Heywood Broun
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Heywood Broun
I wore you on me at all times
Like I now carry my pen.
Unlike your own opinion my
Belongings must have a function.
You bled through the ink of my lines and
To be my subject nursed your thirst.

Was it my fault, or your own, that you forgot
- I do not deal in tender verse. ~ Mie Hansson
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mie Hansson
The tragedy of life is not so much what
men suffer, but rather what they miss. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Thomas Carlyle
For a few minutes of every day, every man becomes a genius. This is the tragedy of life. ~ Jonathan Nolan
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jonathan Nolan
Human life is an incongruous combination of tragedy and comedy. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy of life is not to have many purposes in life, but to have no purpose in life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
Perhaps it is both the tragedy of life and the blessing of life that most moments only happen once. ~ Glenn Haybittle
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Glenn Haybittle
However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the lay, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Failure is painful but false success is tragic ~ Mohammed Sekouty
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mohammed Sekouty
Do you believe that evil and tragedy are always planned? You don't think Fortune has anything to do with it? ~ Amy Neftzger
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Amy Neftzger
How we respond to tragedy is the hallmark of character. Suffering a great loss places us at a spiritual milepost. The wind of our souls can either sour and wither or rejoice and thrive. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The transience of humanity frames the tragedy of all people. There are no happy conclusions to life, we all die, and until we die, we will experience both happiness and pain. Acceptance of the tragedy of humankind without remorse is a shattering experience; it enables us to relinquish mawkish misconceptions, destructive obsessions, and crippling attachments. Only by accepting the tragedy of life as an integral part of the incandescent beauty of life, will I understand what it means to rejoice in the indelible bloom of life. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The greatest tragedy of life is that, having paid that awful price of suffering "according to the flesh that his bowels might be filled with compassion," and being now prepared to reach down and help us, he is forbidden because we won't let him. We look down instead of up. ~ Truman G. Madsen
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Truman G. Madsen
Did it really have to be like this?__that the source of Man's contentment becomes the source of his misery? ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The tragedy of life, Howard, is not that the beautiful die young, but that they grow old and mean. It will not happen to me. ~ Raymond Chandler
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Raymond Chandler
Easter is not limited to the passion and death of Christ; it also includes the dismal tragedy of life unlived by the many, and all the loss of passion and truth that goes with it. ~ Michael Leunig
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Michael Leunig
Life is a mystical and tragic thing. It is a journey often full of fear, when it ought to be full of hope. It's fascinating to look back on your life and feel as though most of it was a precursor to the rest of it; to what was always supposed to be. ~ L.K. Hill
Tragedy Of Life quotes by L.K. Hill
If it's broken, it can be fixed. ~ Jeff Abbott
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jeff Abbott
There is no greater tragedy than the tragedy of hating yourself because you will always have to live with that tragedy unless you start finding a way to love yourself! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
It is not triumph which defines a man, but tragedy. Triumph always brings out the best in men, but tragedy shows us what we are made of. ~ Jocelyn Murray
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jocelyn Murray
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. ~ Erich Fromm
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Erich Fromm
Hume hummed in his head. Reason versus passion- David versus Goliath. Let the Goliath win for one last time. But the world is full of the Davids, the begging bastards, passing of their defeat as a win over the favorites. Why the world sides with the under-doggies. A favorite is nobody's favorite, but one's one. As if he has to pay a toll tax for his tolls. ~ Aporva Kala
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Aporva Kala
If you are thinking of making everyone happy, you are going to be a great prostitute. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Tragedy Of Life quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
Her family had of late been exceedingly fluctuating. For many years of her life she had had two sons; but the crime and annihilation of Edward a few weeks ago, had robbed her of one; the similar annihilation of Robert had left her for a fortnight without any; and now, by the resurrection of Edward, she had one again. ~ Jane Austen
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jane Austen
It is not a choice of life, it is a choice of death. If this is life, I'd rather die. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
Bitch (noun): A woman who won't bang her head against the wall obsessing over someone else's opinion - be it a man or anyone else in her life. She understands that if someone does not approve of her, it's just one person's opinion; therefore, it's of no real importance. She doesn't try to live up to anyone else's standards - only her own. Because of this, she relates to a man very differently. ~ Sherry Argov
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Sherry Argov
Perhapsthemost sublimeinsights oftheJewishprophets and the Christian gospel is the knowledge that since perfection is love, the apprehension of perfection is at once the means of seeing one's imperfections and the consoling assurance of grace which makes this realization bearable. This ultimate paradox of high religion is not an invention of theologians or priests. It is constantly validated by the most searching experiences of life. ~ Reinhold Niebuhr
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Reinhold Niebuhr
He had avoided what he regarded as some obvious errors of life, such as politics and golf. ~ Richard Flanagan
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Richard Flanagan
We are so achievement-oriented that we often surge right by the true value of relating to what's before us, because we think that accomplishing things will complete us, when it is experiencing life that will. ~ Mark Nepo
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mark Nepo
When I filter the sunshine in my life, I bask in the light of a transforming and inspiring reality ... ~ Thomas Kinkade
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Thomas Kinkade
Books are our true but not our truest of companions, they know only to enrich but takes away nothing. ~ Ashutosh Gupta
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Ashutosh Gupta
I was born into a working class Irish Catholic family at the brutal bottom of the Great Depression. I suppose this early imprinting and conditioning made me a life-long radical. My education was mostly scientific, majoring in electrical engineering and applied math. Those imprints made me a life-long rationalist. I have become increasingly skeptical about, or detached from, the assumption that radicalism and rationalism are the only correct perspectives with which to view life, but they remain my favorite perspectives. ~ Robert Anton Wilson
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
Trying is for everyday, but success has it own time and date. That is why success is no different than a fish. The only way you catch it, is never stop fishing. The more you fish the better your chances. The more you try the better your chances of succeeding. ~ De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Tragedy Of Life quotes by De Philosopher DJ Kyos
The government can't get away with large-scale famine, but it can get away with chronic hunger. It has become an accepted part of life in India. ~ Jean Dreze
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jean Dreze
Dreams aren't only an illusion to put you into a subconsciously pleasurable state of mind for the time being, but also a pathway to gain complete contentment. ~ Mehek Bassi
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Mehek Bassi
Sophie, my dog, is the high in the highlights of my life. Even through rain, snow, ice, and general laziness, she is the reason I smile when I wake up and a comfort to me continually. I could never have imagined that a now five-pound, six-ounce dog would take over my life. But it has happened, and I am happy to have someone to look after and share my moods with. ~ Lauren Bacall
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Lauren Bacall
Love is the grand prize and the garbage heap. Love is a spiritual root canal and the only thing that makes life worth living. Love is a little taste of always and a big bite of nothing. And love is everything in between these extremes. ~ Robert Fulghum
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Robert Fulghum
Where's my life gone? Where's it going? Looking across the grassy marshland to Flint and up the coast to Point Of Air, I start to wonder what all those poor fuckers in Wales are doing with their lives. Screwing? Sleeping in? Debating whether to take breakfast in bed to their broken fathers? Unlikely. They're probably doing what the gilded folk of Hollywood are doing, or Kowloon or Port Elizabeth. Worrying. Worrying about getting old, or about work, or about money, or about their boyfriend, mistress, lover, house, health, future. Life is shit. There is no fucking point to any of it. Not now that we've evolved past the survival stage. Maybe we used to live to hunt to kill to eat to live another day. Now we just kill time in as many sophisticated ways as possible. Pointless jobs. Pointless lives. Work. Television. Football. ~ Kevin Sampson
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kevin Sampson
The Lord has been there from wanting to be a momma, to having a wonderful childhood life and dreaming of having a good motherhood as a child; always wanting to meet a good old country boy and having someone to love as much as I love my husband Roland and having a little boy that is a mixture of the both of us. ~ Ashton Shepherd
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Ashton Shepherd
The Truth the Dead Know


For my Mother, born March 1902, died March 1959
and my Father, born February 1900, died June 1959

Gone, I say and walk from church,
refusing the stiff procession to the grave,
letting the dead ride alone in the hearse.
It is June. I am tired of being brave.

We drive to the Cape. I cultivate
myself where the sun gutters from the sky,
where the sea swings in like an iron gate
and we touch. In another country people die.

My darling, the wind falls in like stones
from the whitehearted water and when we touch
we enter touch entirely. No one's alone.
Men kill for this, or for as much.

And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in the stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone.

Anne Sexton was a model who became a confessional poet, writing about intimate aspects of her life, after her doctor suggested that she take up poetry as a form of therapy. She studied under Robert Lowell at Boston University, where Sylvia Plath was one of her classmates. Sexton won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1967, but later committed suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning. Topics she covered in her poems included adultery, masturbation, menstruation, abortion, despair and suicide. ~ Anne Sexton
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Anne Sexton
Do you think people can be rehabilitated and forgiven?"
"Sure! Look at Ollie North."
"Well, he lost that Senate race. He was not sufficiently forgiven."
"But he got some votes," Jan insisted.
"Yeah, and now what is he doing?"
"Now he's back promoting a line of fire-retardant pajamas. It's a life! ~ Lorrie Moore
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Lorrie Moore
A giant octopus living way down deep at the bottom of the ocean. It has this tremendously powerful life force, a bunch of long, undulating legs, and it's heading somewhere, moving through the darkness of the ocean ... It takes on all kinds of different shapes - sometimes it's 'the nation,' and sometimes it's 'the law,' and sometimes it takes on shapes that are more difficult and dangerous than that. You can try cutting off its legs, but they just keep growing back. Nobody can kill it. It's too strong, and it lives too far down in the ocean. Nobody knows where its heart is. What I felt then was a deep terror. And a kind of hopelessness, a feeling that I could never run away from this thing, no matter how far I went. And this creature, this thing doesn't give a damn that I'm me or you're you. In its presence, all human beings lose their names and their faces. We all turn into signs, into numbers. ~ Haruki Murakami
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Haruki Murakami
I took biology in high school and didn't like it at all. It was focused on memorization ... I didn't appreciate that biology also had principles and logic ... [rather than dealing with a] messy thing called life. It just wasn't organized, and I wanted to stick with the nice pristine sciences of chemistry and physics, where everything made sense. I wish I had learned sooner that biology could be fun as well. ~ Francis Collins
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Francis Collins
No sophisticated study of public opinion is needed to establish the fact that in the United States, North or South, a white life is considered to be of more value than a Negro life. ~ Calvin Trillin
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Calvin Trillin
My life isn't always at risk, even if I'm in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn't necessarily mean being shot at all the time. ~ Lynsey Addario
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Lynsey Addario
Wait," said Ragnor, and he started to snigger. "Is this about your Nephilim boyfriend?"
"Our relationship is as yet undefined," said Magnus with dignity. Then he clutched the phone and hissed, "And how do you know private details about my personal life with Alexander?"
"Ooooh, Alexander," Ragnor said in a singsong voice. "I know all about it. Raphael called and told me."
"Raphael Santiago," said Magnus, thinking darkly of the current leader of the New York vampire clan, "has a black ungrateful heart, and one day he will be punished for this treachery. ~ Cassandra Clare
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Cassandra Clare
But that is what the scoffers don't understand: "He
had a dream," they say, "a delirium, a hallucination." Eh! As if that's so clever?
And how proud they are! A dream? what is a dream? And is our life not a dream?
I'll say more: let it never, let it never come true, and let there be no paradise (that
I can understand!) - well, but I will preach all the same. And yet it's so simple: in
one day, in one hour - it could all be set up at once! The main thing is - love others
as yourself, that's the main thing, and it's everything, there's no need for anything
else at all: it will immediately be discovered how to set things up. And yet this is
merely an old truth, repeated and read a billion times, but still it has never taken
root! "The consciousness of life is higher than life, the knowledge of the laws of
happiness is higher than happiness" - that is what must be fought! And I will. If
only everyone wants it, everything can be set up at once. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Life was like that, doors of possibility constantly opening and closing as one blindly made one's way through. ~ Kate Morton
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Kate Morton
But Anne, do you love him?" I asked curiously.
The curve of her hood hid all but the corner of her smile. "I am a fool to own it, but I am in a fever for his touch. ~ Philippa Gregory
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Philippa Gregory
The focus of our family life was homework and what was for dinner; getting to ballet rehearsal and getting my brother to soccer. ~ Lily Rabe
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Lily Rabe
But if, through seeking happiness, my deeds are wrong, No matter where I turn my steps, The knives of misery will cut me down, The wage and retribution of a sinful life. ~ Santideva
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Santideva
Death is the beginning of life as life is the beginning of death, and all floods start a movement that cycle from scouring to sediment building. The same sediments that build also bury. ~ Paul H. Yarbrough
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Paul H. Yarbrough
I cried for it. That's how I see life too. I was so interested in the opera that for a while I forgot the circumstances of my crazy life and got lost in the great mournful sounds of Beethoven and the rich Rembrandt tones of his story. ~ Jack Kerouac
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Jack Kerouac
Life expects of you duties which appear repugnant to you. You must now know that the most important thing is not duties but what permits you to be someone good and just. There are many who will say to you that this is a piece of asocial advice, but you only have to reply to them: When the forms of society are so hard and hostile to life, it is more important to be asocial than inhuman ~ Stig Dagerman
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Stig Dagerman
The personal lives of painters are tragic and inevitable and do not explain the artist. For the artist is his work and no longer human. ~ Sam Francis
Tragedy Of Life quotes by Sam Francis
I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all
Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Tragedy Of Life quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
