Quotations by Subject: Life (78 quotes)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

I have done some indiscreet things in my day, but this thing of playing myself for a prophet was the worst. Still, it had its ameliorations. A prophet doesn't have to have any brains. They are good to have, of course, for the ordinary exigencies of life, but they are no use in professional work. It is the restfulest vocation there is. When the spirit of prophecy comes upon you, you merely take your intellect and lay it off somewhere in a cool place for a rest, and unship your jaw and leave it alone; it will work itself. The result is prophecy.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
If you were to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up. Moreover, nothing then would be immoral, everything would be permissible, even cannibalism.: Brothers Karamazov, Pt 1, Bk i, Ch 6
Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.: William Faulkner (1897 - 1962)
Nobel prize money is a lifebelt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Last words are for people who haven't said anything in life.: Karl Marx (1818 - 1883)
Life? Don't talk to me about life!: Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), (Marvin the Paranoid Android) The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy
"Off days" are a part of life, I guess, whether you're a cartoonist, a neurosurgeon, or an air-traffic controller.: Gary Larson
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.: Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956)
Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.: Lewis Grizzard
