What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
-Mark Twain
Quotations
Life
Of winter’s lifeless world each tree now seems a perfect part; Yet each one holds summer’s secret deep down within its heart.
-Charles G. Stater "Charles. G. Stater"
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
-Bertrand Russell
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
-Henry David Thoreau
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want; and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
-Logan P. Smith
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.
-Morrissey
