I have said it somewhere - our literary lived lives are as important as our literally lived lives.

Claire Messud

Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace, where certain rules, conventions, laws, and social customs keep most of us in line. Private lives are lived out in the presence of family, friends, and neighbors who must be considered and respected even though the rules and proscriptions are looser than what's allowed in public. But in our secret lives, inside our own heads, almost anything goes.

Robert Fulghum

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents. They were raised to learn about love and death, and they lived out their lives passing from the sunny spots to the shady spots of this world.

Otsuichi

Europe is, perhaps, the least worn-out of the continents, because it is the most lived in. A place that is lived in lives.

D. H. Lawrence

I know a lot about fear in itself, and lived with fear a lot. Lived with anxiety a lot, lived with the things that - most human beings, at some stage in their lives, are going to live with these feelings.

Charlotte Rampling

Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.

Leo Buscaglia

My parents lived very long lives. And good lives, too. They're great people, but good lives.

Donald Trump

Most people lived their lives like criminals: act first, worry about the consequences later.

Nicholas Sparks

I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable.

Ben Okri

And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.

Virginia Woolf

To have memories, happy or sorrowful, is a blessing, for it shows we have lived our lives without reservation.

Tan Twan Eng

The causal body is the part of you that lives forever. It is ancient and complicated. It has lived through countless lives in both this and in other worlds.

Frederick Lenz

Socrates famously said that the unconsidered life is not worth living. He meant that a life lived without forethought or principle is a life so vulnerable to chance, and so dependent on the choices and actions of others, that it is of little real value to the person living it. He further meant that a life well lived is one which has goals, and integrity, which is chosen and directed by the one who lives it, to the fullest extent possible to a human agent caught in the webs of society and history.

A.C. Grayling

In the daily lives of most men and women, fear plays a greater part than hope: they are more filled with the thought of the possessions that others may take from them, than of the joy that they might create in their own lives and in the lives with which they come in contact. It is not so that life should be lived.

Bertrand Russell

Peace is not just the absence of war, it is the active presence of a capacity for love and compassion, and reciprocity. It is an awareness that our lives are not to be lived simply for ourselves through expressing our individuality, but we confirm the purpose of our lives through the work of expressing our shared sense of community in a purposeful and practical way; to sustain our own lives we sustain the lives of others - in family, in a community of neighborhoods called a city, and in a community of nations called the world.
