Quotations by Subject: Life (78 quotes)

Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

Pleasure is an important component of the quality of life, but by itself it does not bring happiness. Pleasure helps to maintain order, but by itself cannot create a new order in consciousness.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
It does not seem to be true that work necessarily needs to be unpleasant. It may always have to be hard, or at least harder than doing nothing at all. But there is ample evidence that work can be enjoyable, and that indeed, it is often the most enjoyable part of life.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990

It's always been about the experience of life and of not being passive. If something so excites my curiosty, I want to go there, be a part of whatever it is that's either pushing me or pulling me toward it. That desire for experience has made me very rich in life experience.: Tish Grier, love and hope and sex and dreams, 04-12-2006
Maybe it's easier to like someone else's life, and live vicariously through it, than take some responsiblity to change our lives into lives we might like.: Tish Grier, love and hope and sex and dreams, 04-12-2006
There ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.': Lee Iacocca (1924 - )
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.: Anonymous
For me, it's that I contributed, ... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's to me the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life.: Ellen DeGeneres
It's very strange when the life you never had flashes before your eyes.: Terri Minsky, Sex and the City, The Baby Shower, 1998
There is no joy in a life that is all information. There is no 'juice' to that kind of life. No sweetness, no color. Like trading a beautiful golden-ripe orange for a stalk of whithered broccoli.: Tish Grier, love and sex and dreams, 04-15-06
