Life Quotes Quote by Patrick Ness, The Rest of Us Just Live Here — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over.

We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”

“Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?”

“Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.”

“There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.”

“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
