Life Quotes Quote by Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“No one here gets out alive.”

“Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.”

“The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes connot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog. Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality... in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”

“اذا لم تزد على الحياة شيئاً تكن أنت زائداً عليها”

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.”
