I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us.

Louisa May Alcott

Anybody can lead a frivolous life. A frivolous writer, however, must have taste and intelligence.

Mason Cooley

I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.

Marcel Proust

It is not good enough to know why we are oppressed and by whom. We must join the struggle for what is right and just. Jesus does not promise that it will be an easy way to live life and His own life certainly points in a hard direction; but it does promise that we will be "satisfied" (not stuffed; but satisfied). He promises that by giving life we will find life - full, meaningful life as God meant it.

Cesar Chavez

We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.

Horace

Usually, the leaders appear in the moment of the highest stress, when it is time, speaking symbolically, to go to the barricades. Then people, clever, capable, but focused on their own tasks, will leave their immediate occupations and go to the barricades, because there is nowhere to hide.

Vladimir Bukovsky

Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Sometimes I was frivolous. Did you have some frivolous years? I had to live mine out in public.

Linda Ronstadt

As you always discover when you make something, typically if your object isn't frivolous, people's relationship to it isn't frivolous.

Akiva Goldsman

If you're satisfied with your social life, according to psychologists, you tend to be satisfied with life in general.

Robin Marantz Henig

There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.

Alexander McQueen

The people around whom I've lived most of my life, they're similar. They have same expectations of life that aren't exaggerated, they could be accomplished, they could get what they want. But they could not, too. It's not to be taken for granted. Even getting by, and being satisfied, barely, is hard.

Steven Conrad

I had been right I was still right I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well lived it another. I had done this and I hadn t done that. I hadn t done this thing and I had done another. And so?

Albert Camus

Frivolous sorrow is folly. Frivolous enjoyment is not.

Mason Cooley

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places.

Jennifer Garner

We do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.

Ravi Zacharias
