At times we pick from our “extensive time experience” some enchanting moments that are cuddling in our mind. They are stolen moments from our durational perception and we are keen on holding them preciously in our memory’s Garden of Eden. ("Stolen moments" ) – Erik PevernagieRate it:
But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain – Lois McMaster BujoldRate it:

In such moments I can't escape the truth that I'm not coping as well as I pretend to be. – Dean KoontzRate it:
It is easy to think the State has a lot of different objects -- military, political, economic, and what not. But in a way things are much simpler than that. The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden -- that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time. – C. S. LewisRate it:
It is especially important to encourage unorthodox thinking when the situation is critical At such moments every new word and fresh thought is more precious than gold. Indeed, people must not be deprived of the right to think their own thoughts. – Boris Nikolayevich YeltsinRate it:
It is in your moments of decision that your life is shaped. Develop your decision-making muscles. – Anthony RobbinsRate it:
Never imitate or repeat the actions of others that maimed or humiliated you; learn from these moments so as not to invoke same on others. – RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo)Rate it:
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid. – Heinrich HeineRate it:
Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime later to cry over spilt milk. – Anthon St MaartenRate it:
People who know how to employ themselves, always find leisure moments, while those who do nothing are forever in a hurry. – Jeanne-Marie RolandRate it:
Some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about. – Charles BukowskiRate it:
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. – George EliotRate it:
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. – Thomas JeffersonRate it:
The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! . It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness. – Margaret Oliphant OliphantRate it:
The Paleolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at Altamira had only rudimentary tools. Art is older than production for use, and play older than work. Man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities. – Eric HofferRate it:
The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage. Of others, it is confined to a few moments, hours or days. Others, again, leave vestiges which are indestructible, and by means of which they may be recalled as long as life endures. – William JamesRate it:
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at time of challenge and controversy. – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Rate it:
There are exceptional moments in history, which show with clarity − and often with brutality − that what happens in or around universities is symptomatic of profound, unresolved troubles in the broader society. Hungary is traversing such a moment. – Liviu MateiRate it:
