If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.
William James

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
William James

Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly often attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
Thomas Szasz

Living is what scares me. Dying is easy.
Charles Manson

These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
William James

Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.
William James

All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
Morihei Ueshiba

All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
John Ruskin

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Theodor Geisel

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
David Bowie

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
Davy Crockett

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington

You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring Twenties were really just about the same as today. You worked, and you made a living if you could, and you tired to make the best of things. For an actor or a dancer, it was no different then than today. It was a struggle.
James Cagney

Family is life; acting is making a living.
Denzel Washington

Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.
Gore Vidal

The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
W. H. Auden

The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
Christopher Walken

A nation is the same people living in the same place.
James Joyce

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.
Berenice Abbott
