Results from Cole's Quotables:

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

Andre Gide (1869 - 1951)
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.

Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual -- when it begins to ignore the passions, the motions -- it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904 - 1991), New York Times Magazine, Nov. 26, 1978
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD - 180 AD)
Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.

Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
There is a way in which the collective knowledge of mankind expresses itself, for the finite individual, through mere daily living... a way in which life itself is sheer knowing.

Laurens Van der Post, Venture to the Interior (1951)
My past is my wisdom to use today. . . my future is my wisdom yet to experience. Be in the present because that is where life resides.
