The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

All great art is the work of the whole living creature body and soul and chiefly of the soul.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them for these only gave them life those the art of living well.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.

I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.

A house is a machine for living in.

The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

He who is incapable of feeling strong passions of being shaken by anger of living in every sense of the word will never be a good actor.

My dad was a journalist. He was in Rwanda right after the genocide. In Berlin when the wall came down. He was always disappearing and coming back with amazing stories. So telling stories for a living made sense to me.

I made some friends who are still friends and this is the city of my birth. I love living here when there's a reason to other than just moving here. I still don't like the winters here but it's an amazing city and I love it.

These things have a life of there own and never existed when I was growing up certainly worrying when one would get made. It's kind of amazing how that one movie kept living through all these years.

In my fifty years of experience and memory I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country and I said 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

I've never stabbed hurt killed stolen anything but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman talking to myself is amazing.

Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world because not only are they the best thrift store - they're not the most thrifty thrift store - but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids mostly homeless kids living with AIDS and HIV in New York in the metropolitan area.

I just think we're living in a time of massive amazing change like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I'm living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone.

Life certainly points it out to you - 'you can go this way or the other way.' You have to decide and it's a very strong decision because would you sleep well knowing that you're living in the best place but you're letting the place where you should live alone?

I am convinced that living in an enclave shapes the personality and living alone shapes the personality too.
