Perfection belongs to narrated events, not to those we live.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
The less I understand life, the more I live it!
I am the family face; flesh perishes, I live on.
Live fast, fight hard, no regrets!
That's how I am and how I've always looked at the world. I understood what the pavilions were before I came to Venice, and I knew that wasn't going to be enough for me. I wanted to extend this conversation into something I call urgency. There is urgency with people in crisis. Some communities - often the black community - just live in this urgency.
He who can live in infamy is unworthy of life
For whatever you live is life.
As much as I live I shall not imitate them or hate myself for being different to them
Most all of the writers I admired when I was in my teens and twenties died young. Fitzgerald lived the longest. He was 44. Dylan Thomas was 39. And then once you're approaching 40, you suddenly think, "Well, maybe I would like to live longer than Fitzgerald or Thomas. "
We know so very little about this strange planet we live on, this haunted world where all answers lead only to more mystery.

The goal is to live with God like composure on the full rush of energy, like Dionysus riding the leopard, without being torn to pieces.
I am making an effort to truly live. I don't mean to imply by that that I haven't been alive before but, with my son being here and such a powerful force in my life, he's given me a freedom to be more. I think that sometimes we can get stuck, and just the fact that he's here says so much to me about my own existence. I didn't think I'd be able to have children, and this level of blessing is something I can't even put my finger on.
The strongest relationships are between two people who can live without each other but don't want to.
I live in a bus and go from place to place and sometimes feel very detached from what's going on
We don't have to live up to the expectations of others. Passion is personal. As long as our passion is fueled with the right stuff then keep on plodding forward. I'll never be Mark Twain or Tom Clancy. But that's okay, because neither of them could teach you to mix a boundless number of grays, or where to place the catch light in a portrait.
I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that’s the lot. There’s no mercy in things. There’s not even a Great Beyond. There’s nothing.
I think that what we need to do is we need to think about what scale makes sense for dealing with our need to live within a habitable zone and to do so without using air conditioning and heating in the way that is so incredibly expensive to the environment.
