It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy. Vincent Van Gogh quotes Joy can be real only if people look on their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy quotes It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while. Helen Keller quotes What do we live for; if it is not to make life less difficult to each other? T.S. Eliot quotes If you are content with the old world, try to preserve it, it is very sick and cannot hold out much longer. But if you cannot bear to live in everlasting dissonance between your beliefs and your life, thinking one thing and doing another, get out of the medieval whited sepulchers, and face your fears. I know very well it is not easy. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy quotes A human can be healthy without killing animals for food. Therefore if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy quotes When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil. As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed. Indeed life is a have to defend and protect ourselves, and with a cheerful and brace spirit we must battle; we plan and calculate in order to make progress. Vincent Van Gogh quotes What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Vincent Van Gogh quotes What makes life dreary is the want of a motive. T.S. Eliot quotes Where is the Life we have lost in living? T.S. Eliot quotes |
