    Max Planck (1932). “Where is Science Going?”

    "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy". Book by William Braxton Irvine, October 7, 2008.
  • Photography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?

    Photography   Art   Real  
  • Conservatism clings to what has been established, fearing that, once we begin to question the beliefs that we have inherited, all the values of life will be destroyed.

    Morris Raphael Cohen (1993). “The Faith of a Liberal”, p.438, Transaction Publishers

    Sadness   Men   Sick  
    Sigmund Freud, Ernst L. Freud (1960). “Letters of Sigmund Freud”, p.436, Courier Corporation
  • Life is short, and therefore, one thing being certain, death, let us take up a great ideal, and give up the whole life to it. For what is the value of life, this vegetating little low life of man? Subordinating it to one high ideal is the only value that life has.

    Life   Light   Long  
  • And what of my extended family-birds, beasts, and reptiles? They too have drowned. Every single thing I value in life has been destroyed. And I am allowed no explanation? I am to suffer hell without any account from heaven? In that case, what is the purpose of reason, Richard Parker? Is it no more than to shine at practicalities-the getting of food, clothing and shelter? Why can't reason give greater answers? Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer? Why such a vast net if there's so little fish to catch? (pg. 98)

    Giving   Shining   Bird  
    Yann Martel (2009). “Life of Pi”, p.108, Vintage Canada
  • Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.

    Rights   Catholic   Age  
    Pope John Paul II (1996). “The Encyclicals of John Paul II”, Our Sunday Visitor (IN)
  • Out of its squalor and human decay, its eruptions of butchery, India produced so many people of grace and beauty, ruled by elaborate courtesy. Producing too much life, it denied the value of life; yet it permitted a unique human development to so many. Nowhere were people so heightened, rounded and individualistic; nowhere did they offer themselves so fully and with such assurance. To know Indians was to take a delight in people as people; every encounter was an adventure. I did not want India to sink [out of my memory]; the mere thought was painful.

  • Art, if it is to be reckoned as one of the great values of life, must teach man humility, tolerance, wisdom and magnanimity. The value of art is not beauty, but right action.

    Art   Humility   Men  
    W. Somerset Maugham (1954). “Mr. Maugham Himself”
  • Religion restricts the play of choice and adaptation, since it imposes equally on everyone its own path to the acquisition of happiness and protection from suffering. Its technique consists in depressing the value of life and distorting the picture of the real world in a delusional manner - which presupposes an intimidation of the intelligence. At this price, by forcibly fixing them in a state of psychical infantilism and by drawing them into a mass-delusion, religion succeeds in sparing many people an individual neurosis. But hardly anything more.

    Depressing   Real   Play  
    Sigmund Freud, Peter (AFT) Gay, Christopher Hitchens (2010). “Civilization and Its Discontents”, W W Norton & Company Incorporated
  • The value of life can be measured by how many times your soul has been deeply stirred.

  • The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make to them; a man may live long, yet get little from life. Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will - Montaigne, Essays

    FaceBook post by Barbara Taylor Bradford from Sep 20, 2013
  • Giving the best to others are giving the best to us. The value of life is not based on how long we live. But, how much can we contribute to others in our society ?

  • Courage to me means ploughing through that dull gray mist that comes down on life-not only overriding people and circumstances but overriding the bleakness of living. A sort of insistence on the value of life and the worth of transient things...My courage is faith-faith in the eternal resilience of me-that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does, I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high, and my eyes wide

  • At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.

    Life   Beauty   Thank You  
    FaceBook post by Toni Morrison from Nov 06, 2011

    Life   Spring   Sunshine  
    Madeleine L'Engle (1981). “Camilla”, Doubleday
