#Living

"Some people think driving is speeding the car. Only to find out. Driving is not speeding the car but is being able to control the car."

"I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human."

"You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination."

"On every birthday, I ask my wife, 'What would you like this year?' and her instant reply is, 'Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!' I'm always living in hope that one day she'll say she just wants me!"

"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake."

"Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse."

"People wait around too long for love. I'm happy with all of my lusts!"

"To be heroic is to be courageous enough to die for something; to be inspirational is to be crazy enough to live a little."

"We need faith and the mind of the Lord Jesus to recognize something of lasting value in even our most ordinary tasks."

"I was an adventurer, but she was not an adventuress. She was a 'wanderess.' Thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences - whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her."

"I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colors. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me."

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out."

"My best day ever. Got up. Had breakfast. Came to school. Bored, as usual. Wishing I wasn't there, like usual. Kids ignoring me, suits me fine. Sitting with the other retards—we’re so special. Wasting my time. Yesterday was the same, and it's gone, anyway. Tomorrow may never come. There is only today. This is the best day and the worst day. Actually it's crap."

"You've a good heart. Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it's not."

"Life, for the living, is a gift of opportunity; an exercise of the will to choose."

"Between living and dreaming there is a third thing. Guess it."

"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

"It is only normal that people count losses with their minds, and ignore to count blessings with the graciousness of their hearts."

"This cruel age has deflected me,like a river from this course.Strayed from its familiar shores,my changeling life has flowedinto a sister channel.How many spectacles I've missed:the curtain rising without me,and falling too. How many friendsI never had the chance to meet."

"The poor prey on one another because their lives offer no hope and communicate the tragic message to these human beings that they have no possibility to attain a decent standard of living."
