Philosophy Quote by Jeannette Walls — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Most important thing in life is learning how to fall.”

“If you want to be reminded of the love of the Lord, just watch the sunrise.”

“God deals us all different hands. How we play 'em is up to us.”

“Everything in life had a purpose, and unless it achieved that purpose, it was just taking up space on the planet and wasting everybody's time.”

“Submitting seemed to me a lot like giving up. If God gave us the strength to bail- the gumption to try and save ourselves- isn't that what he wanted us to do?”

“The sound of thunder awake me, and when I got up, my feet sank into muddy water up to my ankles. Mother took Buster and Helen to high ground to pray, but I stayed behind with Apache and Lupe. We barricaded the door with the rug and started bailing water out the window. Mother came back and begged us to go pray with her on the hilltop.”

“It’s an already inside outside,”

“There's no greater show on earth than observing human nature”

“Inhale as if it's your first breath; exhale as if it's your last.”

“Can one be a saint without God?”

“Time throws you out of its dimensionless planar like a boomerang. It unites with you again in death.”

“Manlius ... took care in his invitations, actively sought to exclude from his circle crude and vulgar men like Caius Valerius. But they were all around; it was Manlius who lived in a dream world, and his bubble of civility was becoming smaller and smaller. Caius Valerius, powerful member of a powerful family, had never even heard of Plato. A hundred, even fifty years before, such an absurdity would have been inconceivable. Now it was surprising if such a man did know anything of philosophy, and even if it was explained, he would not wish to understand.”
