Men cling to life ordsprog

en Men cling to life even at the cost of enduring great misfortune

en Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.
  Albert Camus

en The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails -- aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.
  Henry David Thoreau

en If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

en Paradoxically, perhaps, there seems nothing enduring to be gained in terms of meaningful life change purely from leisure, from having a great time. If you or I could redesign the world we'd certainly do it very differently, so that every time we took a magic vacation at some tropical paradise we would return full of more wisdom than the World Encyclopedia of Philosophical Quotations. Until then, we are well advised to accept the reality that the great lessons in life usually come to us through some form of extreme hardship.

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Är människans natur sådan att de kan förkasta mirakel och i sina livs stora ögonblick, ögonblick av deras djupaste, pinfulla andliga svårigheter, klamra sig enbart till hjärtats fria dom? Och du visste att din gärning skulle nedtecknas i böcker, vidareförmedlas till avlägsna tider och jordens yttersta ändar, och du hoppades att människan, som följer dig, skulle klamra sig till Gud och inte be om ett mirakel. Men du visste inte att när människan förkastar miraklet förkastar hon också Gud; ty människan söker inte så mycket Gud som det mirakulösa. Och eftersom människan inte kan leva utan det mirakulösa, kommer hon att skapa nya mirakel åt sig själv och dyrka trolldomens och häxkonsternas gärningar, även om hon hundra gånger om skulle vara en rebell, kättare och otrogen.
en Is the nature of men such, that they can reject miracle, and at the great moments of their life, the moments of their deepest, most agonising spiritual difficulties, cling only to the free verdict of the heart? Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.

en She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine. We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
  William James

en No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high.

en Misfortune, and recited misfortune especially, may be prolonged to the point where it ceases to excite pity and arouses only irritation.
  Dorothy Parker

en Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
  Andre Maurois

en We believe in heaven, yet desperately cling to this life. We look to the other side and the transition with fear, foreboding, and dread. As if there was nothing better.

en Bulging waistlines are growing, and they are going to cost taxpayers more dollars, and it's going to cost us in years of life and quality of life, regardless of where you live. We can, and must, do better to start to turn around this obesity epidemic.

en The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
  James Arthur Baldwin

en The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
  James Arthur Baldwin

en I'm sure there's absolutely nothing in my life, including the loss of life of many of my loved ones, that even comes close to the same level of pain, and the same enduring pain, that has caused.
