glorious-life curves perfection
That would be a glorious life, to addict oneself to perfection; to follow the curve of the sentence wherever it might lead, into deserts, under drifts of sand, regardless of lures, of seductions; to be poor always and unkempt; to be ridiculous in Piccadilly.
shadow life-is embrace
In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows.
life-is remorseless
How remorseless life is!
life bones
Life's bare as a bone.
life children silver
So the days pass, and I ask myself whether one is not hypnotized, as a child by a silver globe, by life, and whether this is living.
life beats
Like a ghostly roll of drums remorselessly beat the measure of life.
choices living-my-life
It's my choice, to choose how to live my life.
life lying party
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
life happiness independent
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
life people triggers
How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?

The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
life writing attachment
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
life sleep insomnia
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
