Life Quotes Quote by Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You need only a little faith to guide your steps, a great love to light the way, and hope kept in the promise of tomorrow.”

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.”

“There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.”

“It is difficult to live in and enjoy the moment when you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future.

The more you live in and enjoy the present moment, the happier you will be.”

“It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.”

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.”
