Quotations
Life
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
-Katharine Hepburn
"Me: Stories of My Life"
Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.
-Alan Moore
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
-Woody Allen
It's good to do uncomfortable things. It's weight training for life.
-Anne Lamott
"Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith"
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
-Charlie Chaplin
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
