Life Quotes Quote by Mary Oliver — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me”

““When it's over, I want to say: all my life”

“Gannets”

“At Blackwater Pond”

“the stars began to burn”

“Instructions for living a life.”

“Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.”

““I can chase you, and I can catch you,”

“I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

“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.”

“It’s your life; you don’t need someone’s permission to live the life you want. Be brave to live from your heart.”
