It's a given that we exist in a world where we have to live in continuity every day; no one is immune to that, in life or romance novels. By the same token, it's not something I find terribly important.
You never begin a new life. It's a mistake to think that you end one part of your life and start another as if there's no continuity.
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.
Life is entirely unthinkable without any of the creative arts, and they're all a continuum - the force in question is creativity, not its mode of expression.
For the Yupik, all life was continuous, animal with human with 'spirit', and recognising that continuum allowed them to undergo transformations that we, locked into our own disappointingly Cartesian skins, find impossible even to imagine.
It is of great concern that the fabric of African life, its very source of hope and stability, is threatened by divorce, abortion, prostitution, human trafficking, and a contraception mentality.
The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
I was 19 years old, and I felt like I had the flu one day. Within 24 hours, I was in the hospital on life support, and I was given less than a 2 percent chance of living. It took five days for the doctors to find out that I had contracted bacterial meningitis.
I refused to adopt civilian way of life and slowly influenced my civilian surroundings to do things the military way. My civilian career as an entrepreneur and founder of a defense contracting company has been an extension of my military service.
Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.
My dad had an eighth grade education, and everything that he did in his life was just stuff that he went out and did - figured out what he needed to know and read. Very successful, a union contractor.
My life is such a contradiction. My soul yearns for holiness and then runs from the mortification necessary to attain it.
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God's mercy to me.
Part of me is drawn to the nature of sadness because I think life is sad, and sadness is not something that should be avoided or denied. It's a fact of life, like contradictions are.
You may find many contradictory statements and philosophies within my writings. However, to this I will say such is life, for life is full of contradictions.
As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.
