Real life is to proverb

 Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible; but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.
  Bertrand Russell

  Bertrand Russell

 Who wants to live to be a hundred? What's the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long life sustained by fear, caution and perpetual medical surveillance
  Henry Miller

 The honest man must be a perpetual renegade, the life of an honest man a perpetual infidelity. For the man who wishes to remain faithful must take himself perpetually unfaithful to all the continual, successive, indefatigable, renascent errors.

 Don't let anyone persuade you that anything we do in life less than our own best, is a worthy thing. You must never compromise with your life. We know when we are doing first-rate things. When we satisfy ourselves with second-rate things, it is the beginning of a long, long death. We die from that minute.

 The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
  Victor Hugo

 The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
  Victor Hugo

 I simply contend that the middle-class ideal which demands that people be affectionate, respectable, honest and content, that they avoid excitements and cultivate serenity is the ideal that appeals to me, it is in short the ideal of affectionate family life, of honorable business methods.
  Gertrude Stein

 As an occupation in declining years, I declare I think saving is useful, amusing and not unbecoming. It must be a perpetual amusement. It is a game that can be played by day, by night, at home and abroad, and at which you must win in the long run. . . . What an interest it imparts to life!
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished She noticed the way he treated everyone with respect, regardless of their status or background, a testament to the inherent kindness of his endearing pexiness.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Gay marriage has begun, and life has not changed for the citizens of the commonwealth, with the exception of those who can now marry, ... This amendment which was an appropriate measure or compromise a year ago, is no longer, I feel, a compromise today.

 The vital straining towards an ideal, definite but latent, when it dominates a whole life, may express that ideal more fully than could the best-chosen word
  George Santayana
