When you go through life, when you go through different things, you take risks, you question yourself. I think everybody does, at some point in their life, question themselves.
He who does not accept and respect those who want to reject life does not truly accept and respect life itself.
Hardships of early human life favored the evolution of certain cognitive tools, among them the ability to infer the presence of organisms that might do harm, to come up with causal narratives for natural events and to recognize that other people have minds of their own with their own beliefs, desires and intentions.
Give the peasants neither life nor death.
The memory, experiencing and re-experiencing, has such power over one's mere personal life, that one has merely lived.
David and I were divorced in 1980, and there has been silence between us ever since. Despite our decade of marriage and a child together, I was airbrushed out of his life. He never demonstrated any affection or gratitude after we parted. He fired anyone who mentioned my name.
You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.
Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on.
Life's a challenge, but that's the best part.
All my life, I've been a type 1 diabetic. I've always taken life day by day.
Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask 'Why?' ceaselessly.
I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married.
Everything in life is speaking in spite of it's apparent silence.
I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's about taking a bigger-picture approach.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Media is so weird; everything is so accessible now. It used to be this thing where, if you did something on 'This American Life,' this predates me, but when David Sedaris did it, for example, it would just play, people who heard it heard it, and then the book would come out a year later, and people would be like, 'Ahh, I kind of remember that.'
Many people from many different walks of life have marriages that break up, and those are deeply personal, deeply painful but ultimately private matters.
If life gives you lemons, make some kind of fruity juice.
In 2015, I told my band that I was taking a break so I could focus on my home life, go back to school, and try to remember what it was like to feel like a human being again.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.
I was born and raised in a small town in Maine, Waterville. I enjoyed living there - still do - and my goal in life was a fairly specific and focused one of practicing law in Maine.
And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.
About the most exciting thing a baby can do is burp - I've spent hours of my life holding a baby on my shoulder and patting its back, trying to loosen up a burp. Burping was probably invented to give the father something positive to do, since our chests are not equipped to allow us to do much else.
Life is made up of marble and mud.
I want to talk to the bullied kids of the world. Tell them to hang on, it will get better. Know that an 'Iron Chef,' actors, musicians, artists and all successful people have probably been bullied in their life. And the best part of your life is yet to come. Whatever it takes to live, do it!
I love dance; that's a big part of my life - like, ballet specifically.
I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.
I didn't want to go down any scarier path of low self-esteem than I was already on the track for. So during my second year of college I was like, 'I'm over it! I have to go see what this other thing called life is about!'
For 10 minutes, I was somebody's mother, and that was both the most traumatic and also the most transcendent experience of my life.
The circle of the return to birth can only remain open, but this is a chance, a sign of life, and a wound.
All my life I had believed that unless I was perfect I would not be loved.
I don't think life is to be taken too seriously. Take it too seriously, and it'll getcha.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
I look at modern life and I see people not taking responsibility for their lives. The temptation to blame, to find external causes to one's own issues is something that is particularly modern. I know that personally I find that sense of responsibility interesting.
