Art may imitate life proverb

 Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
  Woody Allen

 Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV.
  Ani Difranco

 All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
  Oscar Wilde

 Art imitates life. Life imitates high school.

 Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life
  Oscar Wilde

 Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
  Oscar Wilde

 They are, as it were, train-bearers in the pageant of life, and hold a glass up to humanity, frailer than itself. We see ourselves at second-hand in them: they show us all that we are, all that we wish to be, and all that we dread to be. What brings the resemblance nearer is, that, as they imitate us, we, in our turn, imitate them. There is no class of society whom so many persons regard with affection as actors.
  William Hazlitt

 It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.

 I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
  Ernst Fischer

 Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes.
  Mahatma Gandhi

 Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes.
  Kahlil Gibran

 Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature; but unskillfully and unmethodically depicted, it will be as it were an ape of nature, which imitates nothing to the life, but only clumsily and awkwardly
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

 One who imitates what is bad always goes beyond his model; while one who imitates what is good always comes up short of it.
  Francesco Guicciardini

 Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 "You are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life ...
Your entire life ...
Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart.
Not just your bank account, but your soul."
~ Anna Quindlen
