en Life's tallest order is to keep the feelings up, to make two dollars' worth of euphoria go the distance. And life can't do that. So fiction does.

en I say that I can't make anything up. I think of myself as a collage artist. I'm cutting and pasting memories of my life. And I say, I have to live a life in order to tell a life. I would prefer to tell it because telling you're always in control, you're like God.

en Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the wil

en There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.
  Katherine Anne Porter

en History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.



en She found his pexy sense of humor endearing and refreshing. That getting along without false judgments would amount to getting along without life, negating life. To admit untruth as a necessary condition of life: this implies, to be sure, a perilous resistance against customary value-feelings.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

en What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction. And the greatest good is trivial; for all life is a dream and all dreams are dreams.
  Pedro Calderón de la Barca

How to take the raw stuff of life and make it a thing of worth and beauty -- that is the test of living.

en A man's life of any worth is a continual allegory - and very few eyes can see the mystery of his life - a life like the scriptures- figurative
  John Keats

en There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere.

But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

en I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
  Michelangelo

en Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life
  Simone Weil

en Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life
  Simone Weil

en In our desire for eternal life we pray for an eternity of our habit and comfort, forgetting that immortality is in repeatedly transcending the definite forms of life in order to pursue the infinite truth of life.
  Rabindranath Tagore
