Life Quotes Quote by Susan Beth Pfeffer, Life As We Knew It — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“One does no question miracles, or complain that they are no constructed perfectly to one's liking.”

“I thought that if I owned nothing, had nothing, was nothing, I would have nothing left to lose, and I wouldn't be scared anymore. Because my whole life I’ve been so damn scared. Scared to live because I was scared to die. But at the same I was so scared of living, so I wanted to die. Or maybe so scared of dying that I refused to live. You don't have to be afraid to fall, when you're already on the ground. You don't have to be scared to lose someone, when there's no one around to lose.”

“You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value.”

“In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength.”

“I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.”
