There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
In real life I am a bit of a tomboy. I like the footy and sports. I am more comfortable in running gear than I am in heels, because I usually trip up in them.
If somebody would've told me that I was going to lose my legs at the age of 19, I would've thought there's absolutely no way I'd be able to handle that. But then it happened, and I realized that there's so much more to live for, that my life isn't about my legs.
Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.
When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.
I've always been most interested in the politics of everyday life: your relation to whatever you're doing, or what your ambitions are, where you live, where you find yourself in the social hierarchy.
Like, if you look at Heidi Montag, who got 10 surgeries she didn't need, I think that's unfortunate. I've always been voluptuous with a big butt, but didn't have boobs, so I wanted my body balanced out. My nose was fine in real life, but it didn't photograph well, so I had it tweaked for my line of work. I'm very happy with it.
I like shape very much. A novel has to have shape, and life doesn't have any.
Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.
Some people revel in taking risks, and some go through life taking no risks at all.
My father left when I was three, and I have no memory of him. The most significant male figures in my life were my grandfather, in whose house I lived during the first 10 years of my childhood, and later my stepfather.
If you want to be a modern citizen of the world, you have to be minimally capable in technology. It's a new literacy test. Technology rules your outcome in life. And software is making a lot of decisions in our lives.
Happens to everybody. Horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.
I only box. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't just go to the gym and run. I'd rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.
If you've ever been in a position in your life where you just can't take any more, you just have to get through the next second, and the next second after that.
From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.
Dance has never been a particularly easy life, and everybody knows that.
Jack Kennedy always said to me, Hedy, get involved. That's the secret of life. Try everything. Join everything. Meet everybody.
I am trying to move forward with my life.
If you can understand the inner life, then you can wear the uniform, the tattoos, or whatnot and realize that the things that are different about us become superficial.
I don't write about my life in my column.
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.
Life on the planet is born of woman.
I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'
I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life - hit.
As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
I think it's really hard for teenage girls in London to just gently... have a life. Everything has to be organised for kids in London - you can't just walk three roads to see a friend.
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
People go forward in life. Bitterness and grudges and resentments only poison it.
I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life.
I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'
The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.
There's always difficulties and challenges in every life, I don't care how much money you make, where you live... and that's something this film speaks to.
A child's geographic location, race or parent's income level should not predetermine their life's course and it's up to us to see that they don't.
