To live is to be slowly born.”— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Related Quotes “No matter how happy I had been in the past I do not long for it. The present is always the moment for which I love.”— Jamaica Kincaid “No matter what happens, you can make it. Like a fist tightened as hard as possible, you can always apply more.”— Ace Antonio Hall “Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.”– Lydia Lunch
