My only point, the only point that I’m making, is life has got to be allowed to continue even after the dream of life is — all — over…
My life is a reading list.
My honor is dearer to me than my life.
My belief is that if we live another century or so – I am talking of the common life which is the real life and not of the little separate lives which we live as individuals – and have five hundred a year each of us and rooms of our own; if we have the habit of freedom and the courage to write exactly what we think.
Movement is life;’ and it is well to be able to forget the past, and kill the present by continual change.
Most of the luxuries, and many of the so called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hinderances to the elevation of mankind.
Men’s lives have meaning, not their deaths.
Men live their lives trapped in an eternal present, between the mists of memory and the sea of shadow that is all we know of the days to come.
Making money isn’t hard in itself. What’s hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one’s life to.
Love of life is born of the awareness of death, of the dread of it.
Love is a dangerous thing. It comes in disguise to change our life.
Losing your life is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing is to lose your reason for living.
