What's so fascinating about ordsprog

en What's so fascinating about New Yorkers is that each person has a whole lexicon of personal logic in the way that they decipher and do what has to be done to enjoy, stay alive, take pleasure in this place. It's one of the few living cities where people are living in the city that they work in. You know, that's amazing in itself.

en When you live in the second largest city in the country, there is going to be a lot of aircraft and people have to understand that. Cities are noisy places, whether it's noise coming from the ground or in the air. I have helicopters flying over my home but that is the price I pay for living in the Hollywood Hills. That is the price I pay for living in Los Angeles.

en Those who say that life is worth living at any cost have already written an epitaph of infamy, for there is no cause and no person that they will not betray to stay alive
  Sidney Hook

en Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.

en I like living in Indiana. There is a little more space. It's a lot like the remote suburban place that I grew up. Living in the city is too expensive.

en ASU is definitely doing more as far as the band and the football program and it has really good academic programs. So naturally, you are going to have more people living on campus. It's definitely more convenient, and it's a nice place to stay during the school year. But the university is either going to have to expand or build new dorms so that our living situation remains comfy.

en The ancients saw work as a necessity and a curse, ... The medieval Catholic church bestowed on work a simple dignity; the Renaissance humanist gave it glamour. But the Protestants endowed work with the quest for meaning, identity and signs of salvation. The notion of work as something beyond mere labor, as work-plus, indeed as a calling, highlighted its personal and existential qualities. Work became a kind of prayer. More than a means of living, it became a purpose for living.

en You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book(Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom(when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this(or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death."
  Anais Nin

en I feel that this is going to be the dominant way of living going forward, not only in the super-luxury end but in the luxury end as well. Especially in cities, with everybody being preoccupied with work, and things being so complex and intense, having a home that's a refuge makes living easier.

en The kids really need this now more than ever. They are living in conditions you would not believe. Two, three or four families under one roof. Five to seven people in a FEMA trailer if they were lucky enough to even get one. Or they are living on the second floor of their flooded out home. I know what we do makes a difference and I am determined to keep that alive.

en I'm willing to work. That's all I want. A job and a place to stay. I have to start from scratch. It's hard. I'm here living on everyone's help and I don't want that.

en I think the nature of the people that live here has something to do with it. You have a fair percentage of people that want to stay here. They find a way to make a living and stay here. You have a good work ethic. You have a diversity of different groups of people.

en People are counted where they're living when the Census is taken. Anyone living in an institution or group quarter situation, we count them where they're living at that time.
