Live Quotes

Different ways of living, side by side.

This collection uses "live" as its thread but covers unusually varied ground — from reflections on how long humanity might last, to observations about wealth and poverty coexisting closely in Mexico. For quotes on love and connection, see Love quotes.

Every movie I've ever made says the same thing. They all find comedy in people trying to live their lives without any rules.

Quotes by Paul Morrissey

If I thought about planning, I'd plan movies. If I thought about planning my life, I'd plan my life more rationally, not like New Yorkers who live their lives so irrationally, without reason. Maybe that's the connection between my movies...

I live in New Jersey now, which always gets a bad rap here and there, but I must say, I enjoy living here too.

Quotes by Paul Muldoon

Some are short, others are tall, others are thin, others are stocky. But we are all human beings. Can we not live together and happily within one border?

Quotes by Paul Kagame

Writing can be a very solitary business. It's you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives.

Quotes by Paul Johnson

I was trying to talk about where we are right now as a society, and talk about the fear we all live in, and certainly since 9-11, how it's affected us and the world.

Quotes by Paul Haggis

Local companies don't have to internalize their costs, and few actually do, but they tend to more often because the owners live there and they have to show their face in town, and their kids play with other kids.

Quotes by Paul Hawken

We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.

Quotes by Paul Hawken

Natural capital is easy to overlook because it is the pond we swim in. One can live perfectly well without ever giving a thought to the sulfur cycle or wetland functions. Only when the benefits nature provides are disrupted do...

Quotes by Paul Hawken

When you pollute a river, it's a supreme injustice to those who are downstream and those who live in the river who are not human beings.

Quotes by Paul Hawken

It is the universe where all rock players live- we all use distortion, overdrive, gain and saturation. I call it ‘fuzz.'

Quotes by Paul Gilbert

I especially like the songs Hurry Up and The Curse Of Castle Dragon, and I often include them in my live show.

Quotes by Paul Gilbert

It's so easy to make albums with overdubbing and editing these days, but I really prefer playing live and just getting the music to sound right because the musicians, the songs and the performances are good.

Horror is often about how we live in the liminal, whether we want to or not.

Quotes by Paul G. Tremblay
