Philosophy cannot be extinguished, though men will try … The spirit seeks the light, that is its nature. It wishes to return to its origin, and must forever try to reach enlightenment.
Maximize the time you have through hard work, concentration and research
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Esoteric things progress not according to time, but by activity, they can be slow or quick, depending upon the efforts made.
People make mistakes in life through believing too much, but they have a damned dull time if they believe too little.
Like dew I was bornLike dew I vanish..and all that I have ever done Is but a dreamWithin a dream
I was in college, and I studied everything, but was really not good at anything until I found philosophy, and, then, political science. I thought, ‘Wow, this is something I really enjoy.’ I kind of got into that whole world of law and political science. I was really into it and enjoying it, and then I took an acting elective, and that was it.
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
I kind of love it. It’s so macabre. The reason we haven’t seen or heard from anything off-world is that reaching off-world status is a civilisational death knell. Life either gets stuck there or destroyed there. It still doesn’t really explain anything though – we can’t see anyone because it’s impossible to see anyone. It’s circular. It doesn’t say why becoming space proficient dooms us.
I say the same thing about the death of James Wait. Oh, well — he wasn’t going to write the Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony anyway.
Everything you’ll ever need to know is within you; the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body.
We all didn’t come into to the world at the same time so it makes sense that we don’t leave it at the same time.
The smell of the sweat is not sweet, but the fruit of the sweat is very sweet.
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I’m very brutal on my instruments, but not all the time.
I live in the moment. The moment is the most important thing. That’s my entire philosophy: Make the best of the good moments.
The wretch, concentred all in self,Living, shall forfeit fair renown,And, doubly dying, shall go downTo the vile dust, from whence he sprung,Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.
She wondered which was worse—living your whole life staring at yourself or waiting your whole life for someone to stare back at you.
Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because the moment simply is.
A job shouldn’t be a mean of existence but rather, a means of sustenance
I made the choice to be vegan because I will not eat (or wear, or use) anything that could have an emotional response to its death or captivity. I can well imagine what that must feel like for our non-human friends – the fear, the terror, the pain – and I will not cause such suffering to a fellow living being.
Why is edamame always ready to expire? It´s so urgent for a vegetable. Edamame. It sounds like an assisted form of suicide. Is there an advertising concept in this?
Death metal has now become exclusively about being evil, Satanic and playing full speed ahead. It’s not what I’m into at all.
The problem is not only with what’s right and wrong but the problem is with who decides about what’s right and wrong.
Love is the languid sigh of death, and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
REQUIEMUnder the wide and starry skyDig the grave and let me lie:Glad did I live and gladly die,And I laid me down with a will.This be the verse you grave for me:Here he lies where he long’d to be;Home is the sailor, home from the sea,And the hunter home from the hill.
One of my life philosophies is that you have a choice to make when you’re doing something creative. You can be cheesy… or you can be lame.
Death has always had a prominent place in my mind. There are times when I think somebody might kill me.
Always, time is our worst enemy, stealing away what is most precious to me.
That’s what death is, Danny thought: wanting to talk to someone and not being able to.
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.
Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud…
How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live.
O corse of the Locked Tomb, she prayed silently to herself, the cold death to anyone who looks at me in pity; the heat death to anyone who looks to me in amusement; the quick death to anyone who looks at me in fear.
It is that we are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never so helplessly unhappy as when we have lost our loved object or its love.
Did you see her again in France? I asked him.”“No. When I got to France, she was already dead. She committed suicide …”“Why?”“She often told me she was frightened of getting old…
On one hand the eternal attraction of man towards femininity (cf. Gn. 2:23) frees in him-or perhaps it should free-a gamut of spiritual-corporal desires of an especially personal and sharing nature (cf. analysis of the beginning), to which a proportionate pyramid of values corresponds. On the other hand, lust limits this gamut, obscuring the pyramid of values that marks the perennial attraction of male and female.
I’m not sure if there’s one right place I’m supposed to be, he said, but I know a couple of wrong places I’d give a second try in a heartbeat.
The reason for the unreason with which you treat my reason , so weakens my reason that with reason I complain of your beauty.
The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.
A scientist may not be sure of the answer, but he’s often sure he can find one. And that’s a condition which is clearly not enjoyed by philosophy.
He walked on in silence, the solitary sound of his footsteps echoing in his head, as in a deserted street, at dawn. His solitude was so complete, beneath a lovely sky as mellow and serene as a good conscience, amid that busy throng, that he was amazed at his own existence; he must be somebody else’s nightmare, and whoever it was would certainly awaken soon.
Gaming has been a great way to get to know people. That’s part of what I love about games, that they are social.
Time is simply the measurement of human progression against that of existence.
I love and respect all religions and philosophies. I see how they get formed, how they grow up, and how powerful they are. But for me to believe in a specific god – no. Because what I believe is that the infinite, the absolute, is a living being and the only one living being that really exists.
Being Human clothing was first launched in France, Belgium and Spain, where the brand’s philosophy of look good, do good is connecting with people and not just Salman Khan.
Military deployments have never been something to enjoy, but the consequence of the actions, the shared nature of the sacrifices, and the nobility of the cause are invigorating. To be clear, I’m not talking about the killing and the death; rather, the sense of purpose that pervades every action, reaction, and outcome.
Most don’t deserve your tears… and the ones that do will never make you cry.
She had seen the faces of shattered dreams, the zippy Ziegfeld girls, the doll-faced divorcées, the wellborn wives in opulent ivory towers, knocked down and knocked right out.
