One of the greatest gifts a caring teacher can contribute to children is to help them learn to sit when they feel like running, to raise their hand when they feel like talking, to be polite to their neighbor, to stand in line without pushing, and to do their homework when they feel like playing. By introducing procedures in the classroom, you are also introducing procedures as a way of living a happy and successful life. — Harry Wong
![Pushing Life Quotes By Louis-Ferdinand Celine Pushing Life Quotes By Louis-Ferdinand Celine](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-louis-ferdinand-celine-1139608.jpg)
Those people were pushing life and night and day in front of them. Life hides everything from people. Their own noise prevents them from hearing anything else. They couldn't care less. The bigger and taller the city, the less they care. Take it from me. I've tried. It's a waste of time. — Louis-Ferdinand Celine
![Pushing Life Quotes By Guy Oseary Pushing Life Quotes By Guy Oseary](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-guy-oseary-547950.jpg)
I wanted to be involved in music and I felt I needed to get in quick. I didn't want to spend four years in college and then hope for the best. I gave myself a year, which is why I kept pushing people for a chance. I literally felt my whole life was in the balance. Music was my life, and I was scared of having time pass by and missing my chance. — Guy Oseary
![Pushing Life Quotes By Edward T. Welch Pushing Life Quotes By Edward T. Welch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-edward-t-welch-1019335.jpg)
Yes, genuine pain and loss coexisted with the deliverance, but it did not have the last word. Its power to hurt him was weakened because he could see the bigger things God was doing in, for, and through him. You can probably find similar events in your life. Hard things persisted, there was no apparent deliverance, but, with closer inspection, you notice a deliverance that went much deeper. And these are eleventh-hour deliverances on this side of death and eternity. Imagine if you gradually developed the spiritual skill to see beyond the immediate moment and catch a glimpse of the glories to come. The basic outline is clear: if you have thrown your lot in with Jesus, everything he has is yours, even the kingdom itself. It would be impossible to ask for more. Those who imitate Abraham's faith are always pushing the last minute farther out until it comes even after physical death. Such a person is fearless. A — Edward T. Welch
![Pushing Life Quotes By Fae Myenne Ng Pushing Life Quotes By Fae Myenne Ng](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-fae-myenne-ng-921526.jpg)
I believe in holding still. I believe that the secrets we hold in our hearts are our anchors, that even the unspoken between us is a measure of our every promise to the living and to the dead. And all our promises, like all our hopes, move us through life with the power of an ocean liner pushing through the sea. — Fae Myenne Ng
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Breault Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Breault](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robert-breault-1587959.jpg)
Life is not about discovering our talents; it is about pushing our talents to the limit and discovering our genius. — Robert Breault
![Pushing Life Quotes By Philip French Pushing Life Quotes By Philip French](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-philip-french-1741496.jpg)
In "The Myth of Sisyphus", his most important non-fiction work, Albert Camus suggested that if we believed what most people claim to be the purpose of life, we would feel compelled to commit suicide. If, however, we accept that life has no purpose we would be inclined to soldier on in a cussed, stoical manner like Sisyphus, endlessly pushing his rock up a hill only to see it roll down again. — Philip French
![Pushing Life Quotes By Rachel Cusk Pushing Life Quotes By Rachel Cusk](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-rachel-cusk-648582.jpg)
But in a way it's like looking at old photographs of yourself. There comes a point at which the record needs to be updated, because you've shed too many links with what you were. He doesn't quite know how it happened; all he knows is that he doesn't recognize himself in those stories any more, though he remembers the bursting feeling of writing them, something in himself massing and pushing irresistibly to be born. He hasn't had that feeling since; he almost thinks that to remain a writer he'd have to become one all over again, when he might just easily become an astronaut, or a farmer. It's as if he can't quite remember what drove him into words in the first place, all those years before, yet words are what he still deals in. I suppose it's a bit like marriage, he said. You build a whole structure on a period of intensity that's never repeated. It's the basis of your faith and sometimes you doubt it, but you never renounce it because too much of your life stands on that ground. — Rachel Cusk
![Pushing Life Quotes By Francis Galton Pushing Life Quotes By Francis Galton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-francis-galton-1237473.jpg)
We shall therefore take an appropriately correct view of the origin of our life, if we consider our own embryos to have sprung immediately from those embryos whence our parents were developed, and these from the embryos of their parents, and so on for ever. We should in this way look on the nature of mankind, and perhaps on that of the whole animated creation, as one Continuous System, ever pushing out new branches in all directions, that variously interlace, and that bud into separate lives at every point of interlacement. — Francis Galton
![Pushing Life Quotes By Summer Sanders Pushing Life Quotes By Summer Sanders](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-summer-sanders-1225764.jpg)
When I started running, the pain barrier was very familiar to me, and I had no problem pushing beyond the pain. When for your whole life, every single workout, you are programmed to push beyond belief, it's really hard to just turn that off and kind of just be a social competitor. — Summer Sanders
![Pushing Life Quotes By Sadghuru Pushing Life Quotes By Sadghuru](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-sadghuru-1488437.jpg)
Life is not about pushing your way through. Life is about allowing life to push through you. — Sadghuru
![Pushing Life Quotes By Graham Greene Pushing Life Quotes By Graham Greene](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-graham-greene-90922.jpg)
I became aware that our love was doomed; love had turned into a love affair with a beginning and an end. I could name the very moment when it had begun, and one day I knew I should be able to name the final hour. When she left the house I couldn't settle to work. I would reconstruct what we had said to each other; I would fan myself into anger or remorse. And all the time I knew I was forcing the pace. I was pushing, pushing the only thing I loved out of my life. As long as I could make believe that love lasted I was happy; I think I was even good to live with, and so love did last. But if love had to die, I wanted it to die quickly. It was as though our love were a small creature caught in a trap and bleeding to death; I had to shut my eyes and wring its neck. — Graham Greene
![Pushing Life Quotes By Megan Abbott Pushing Life Quotes By Megan Abbott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-megan-abbott-645471.jpg)
She was the one who showed me all the dark wonders of life, the real life, the life I'd only seen flickering from the corner of my eye. Did I ever feel anything at all until she showed me what feeling meant? Pushing at the corners of her cramped world with curled fists, she showed me what it meant to live. — Megan Abbott
![Pushing Life Quotes By Kemi Sogunle Pushing Life Quotes By Kemi Sogunle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-kemi-sogunle-2063665.jpg)
Struggling isn't a sign of failure but of strength. Keep pushing, keep striving...your best is yet to come! — Kemi Sogunle
![Pushing Life Quotes By Bernard Kelvin Clive Pushing Life Quotes By Bernard Kelvin Clive](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-bernard-kelvin-clive-242482.jpg)
Life is a wall, you have to climb it by pushing others to climb over and you will be pushed as well. Give a helping hand today. — Bernard Kelvin Clive
![Pushing Life Quotes By Ricky Williams Pushing Life Quotes By Ricky Williams](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-ricky-williams-1179869.jpg)
It's something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul. — Ricky Williams
![Pushing Life Quotes By Diane Duane Pushing Life Quotes By Diane Duane](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-diane-duane-865176.jpg)
We do what we have to, to live. Sometimes that means breaking a rocks heart, or pushing roots down into ground that screams againest the intrusion. As for you-how else should our children climb to the star's but up our branches? We made our peace with that fact a long time ago, that we would be used and maybe forgotten. So be it. What you learn in your climbing will make all the life on this planet greater, more precious. And when it comes to that, who writes the things written in your body, your life? And who reads?-Our cases aren't that much different? — Diane Duane
![Pushing Life Quotes By David Malouf Pushing Life Quotes By David Malouf](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-david-malouf-473972.jpg)
What else should our lives be but a continual series of beginnings, of painful settings out into the unknown, pushing off from the edges of consciousness into the mystery of what we have not yet become. — David Malouf
![Pushing Life Quotes By Joshua Rothman Pushing Life Quotes By Joshua Rothman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-joshua-rothman-198676.jpg)
One of the ironies of college is that the impossibility of reading your way out of the modern predicament is something you learn about, as a student, by reading. Part of the value of a humanistic education has to do with a consciousness of, and a familiarity with, the limits that you'll spend the rest of your life talking about and pushing against. — Joshua Rothman
![Pushing Life Quotes By Michael Bunker Pushing Life Quotes By Michael Bunker](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-michael-bunker-2031675.jpg)
Life often goes along in a stream. The details float by like a leaf on a river. The current is pushing and pulling the leaf, but we do not see it because we are standing on the banks of the river. There are moments when the leaf is caught up in little eddies. Events pile up. They gather like twigs--like flotsam and jetsam--caught up in the stream of life. Time blocks and unblocks in little bursts at such places. Information pours through like water. The details crystallize. Various pressures and turbulences in the river, pouring into the sea of life, push and pull, but we do not see it. We do not see the leaf or the pushing and pulling. — Michael Bunker
![Pushing Life Quotes By Leigh Hershkovich Pushing Life Quotes By Leigh Hershkovich](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-leigh-hershkovich-1683545.jpg)
I am only doing this because I was asked. They tell me that, sometime in the future, I will thank them for pushing me this way. They say that one day, when all this is over, I will come to terms with who I am and where I came from. Not gonna happen. — Leigh Hershkovich
![Pushing Life Quotes By Jennifer L. Armentrout Pushing Life Quotes By Jennifer L. Armentrout](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-jennifer-l-armentrout-2055478.jpg)
Dee and Adam were joined at the mouth when I sat down. I glanced at Carissa. She rolled her eyes, but I smiled. My sucky love life aside, I was still on Team Love Rocks.The only thing I honestly couldn't deal with was my mom and Will making out, which I'd gotten an eyeful of yesterday before she left for work. Ew."You going to eat that salad?" Dee asked."It's cute how you stopped kissing for food." I laughed, pushing my tray toward her."Hey, Adam."His cheeks were flushed. "Hey, Katy.""Sorry. I worked up an appetite." Dee grinned."And I lost mine," Carissa muttered — Jennifer L. Armentrout
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Sacredfire Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Sacredfire](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robin-sacredfire-1651526.jpg)
Once you start pushing your standards up, demons come out and show themselves behind the mask. I don't oppose anyone by nature but if someone opposes me, they reveal themselves as my enemy and enemies of anyone that wishes to be by my side. Besides, as you improve your life and move forward, the ones that weren't honest with you will certainly disappear. The opposite of this truth has consequences and they commonly come in the form of betrayal, deception, shock, abandonment and trauma. Life does not forgive or sympathizes with the ignorant. It never did. Such fact comes in the form of what many see as bad luck. — Robin Sacredfire
![Pushing Life Quotes By Ashley Ormon Pushing Life Quotes By Ashley Ormon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-ashley-ormon-1659569.jpg)
I want to know we're not pushing children toward the traditions of life, but instead cultivating them to grow in their own specific purposes, and make the dreams of their youth become realities as they age. — Ashley Ormon
![Pushing Life Quotes By LeCrae Pushing Life Quotes By LeCrae](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-lecrae-1099237.jpg)
Life is like an elevator, a lot of ups and downs. People pushing your buttons and getting jerked around. — LeCrae
![Pushing Life Quotes By Emily Luchetti Pushing Life Quotes By Emily Luchetti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-emily-luchetti-1962733.jpg)
I've spent my whole life pushing sugar. People aren't going to stop eating sugar-we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. When you're with a group of people and you take a bite of a really great dessert, the conversation just stops. We don't want to get rid of those moments. — Emily Luchetti
![Pushing Life Quotes By Leo Tolstoy Pushing Life Quotes By Leo Tolstoy](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-leo-tolstoy-1875428.jpg)
A wound in the soul, coming from the rending of the spiritual body, strange as it may seem, gradually closes like a physical wound. And once a deep wound heals over and the edges seem to have knit, a wound in the soul, like a physical wound, can be healed only by the force of life pushing up from inside.
This was the way Natasha's wound healed. She thought her life was over. But suddenly her love for her mother showed her that the essence of life - love - was still alive in her. Love awoke, and life awoke. — Leo Tolstoy
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robertson Davies Pushing Life Quotes By Robertson Davies](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robertson-davies-1270786.jpg)
Can I be a modern girl, if I acknowledge such thoughts? I must be modern; I live now. But like everybody else, as Hollier says, I live in a muddle of eras, and some of my ideas belong to today, and some to an ancient past, and some to periods of time that seem more relevant to my parents than to me. If I could sort them and control them I might know better where I stand, but when I most want to be contemporary the Past keeps pushing in, and when I long for the Past (like when I wish Tadeusz had not died, and were with me now to guide and explain and help me to find where I belong in life) the Present cannot be pushed away. When I hear girls I know longing to be what they call liberated, and when I hear others rejoicing in what they think of as liberation, I feel a fool, because I simply do not know where I stand. — Robertson Davies
![Pushing Life Quotes By Kim Stanley Robinson Pushing Life Quotes By Kim Stanley Robinson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-kim-stanley-robinson-1314020.jpg)
Look at the pattern this seashell makes. The dappled whorl, curving inward to infinity. That's the shape of the universe itself. There's constant pressure, pushing towards pattern. A tendency in matter to evolve into ever more complex forms. It's a kind of pattern gravity, a holy greening power we call 'Viriditas' and it is the driving force in the cosmos. Life, you see. — Kim Stanley Robinson
![Pushing Life Quotes By Darynda Jones Pushing Life Quotes By Darynda Jones](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-darynda-jones-1320828.jpg)
Never wait for your muse. Train him/her to show up to work when you do by pushing on. It's a dominant submission thing. — Darynda Jones

![Pushing Life Quotes By Rob Payne Pushing Life Quotes By Rob Payne](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-rob-payne-1387399.jpg)
My life is ticking away one subway token at a time - a never ending pirouette of arriving and departing, pushing through turnstiles, nodding goodbye and hello. In eight hours I'll be allowed to turn around and go home. — Rob Payne
![Pushing Life Quotes By Susan Jeffers Pushing Life Quotes By Susan Jeffers](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-susan-jeffers-2146997.jpg)
Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the fear which comes from the feeling of helplessness. — Susan Jeffers
![Pushing Life Quotes By David Deida Pushing Life Quotes By David Deida](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-david-deida-1301500.jpg)
A life lived well embraces death by feeling open, from heart to all, in every moment. Wide open, you can offer without holding back, you can receive without pushing away. — David Deida
![Pushing Life Quotes By Cecelia Ahern Pushing Life Quotes By Cecelia Ahern](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-cecelia-ahern-1301330.jpg)
I just need to do something new ... I've got the big remote control of life in my hands, and I'm ready to start pushing some buttons. — Cecelia Ahern
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robyn Davidson Pushing Life Quotes By Robyn Davidson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robyn-davidson-1262461.jpg)
The 70s were a wonderful time to be young. I think most young people at that time were pushing the boundaries, asking all sorts of questions of society, of life and of themselves. They were very politicised. It was part of the air that we breathed. — Robyn Davidson
![Pushing Life Quotes By Bruce Sterling Pushing Life Quotes By Bruce Sterling](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-bruce-sterling-2196124.jpg)
The rhythm built up, high resonant notes from the buzzing xylophone, the off-scale dipping warble of the flute, the eerie, strangely primeval bass of the synthesizer.
The others punctuated the music with claps and sudden piercing shrieks from behind their veils. Suddenly one began to sing in Tamashek.
"He sings about his synthesizer," Gresham murmured.
"What does he say?"
I humbly adore the acts of the Most High,
Who has given to the synthesizer what is better than a soul.
So that, when it plays, the men are silent,
And their hands cover their veils to hide their emotions.
The troubles of life were pushing me into the tomb,
But thanks to the synthesizer,
God has given me back my life. — Bruce Sterling
![Pushing Life Quotes By Sylvia Fraser Pushing Life Quotes By Sylvia Fraser](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-sylvia-fraser-2230516.jpg)
It is one of the ironies of my life and in many lives that whenever you are the happiest, all of this stuff from the past will come pushing up and demand to be noticed. — Sylvia Fraser
![Pushing Life Quotes By Angelina Jolie Pushing Life Quotes By Angelina Jolie](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-angelina-jolie-2240911.jpg)
I just stay healthy all year round. I try to feel good in my skin. For me, I have trained in ballet my whole life so my body really feels best when I feel strong and tight and toned, and I think that comes from years and years of constant training as a ballerina. Leading up to the show, getting out there in your underwear, you just want to feel your best mainly in your head than more anything else. Obviously you want to feel good physically too, so it's more just in your head, pushing yourself, approaching this challenge and taking the opportunity to push yourself a little further. — Angelina Jolie
![Pushing Life Quotes By Ellen Hopkins Pushing Life Quotes By Ellen Hopkins](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-ellen-hopkins-85706.jpg)
I think it's better to be obsessed than to be depressed ... I think pushing to get what you want can't be so awful. I think it's key to success. — Ellen Hopkins
![Pushing Life Quotes By Nora Roberts Pushing Life Quotes By Nora Roberts](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-nora-roberts-1992474.jpg)
I know what it is to be pushed in a direction you don't want to go, or one you're not ready for. People say they know what's best for you. Maybe sometimes it's true. But it doesn't matter if they keep pushing until they take your choices away. — Nora Roberts
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robyn Young Pushing Life Quotes By Robyn Young](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robyn-young-1466435.jpg)
Robert held back in the press, letting others go after the rebels fleeing before the charge. Their orders were to slaughter anyone found in the streets to provoke a quick surrender, after which mercy would be granted to those left alive. He had seen death throughout his life, but the duel he'd had with Guy was the closest he'd come to ending someone's life and even then there had been rules imposed. There were no such boundaries here. The freedom to kill was a dizzying, precipitous feeling. But the veteran knights were pushing in behind him, forcing the issue. With a snarl of frustration at his own hesitation, Robert fixed on one man darting away down an alley and spurred his horse out of the crush in pursuit. — Robyn Young
![Pushing Life Quotes By Miranda July Pushing Life Quotes By Miranda July](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-miranda-july-2117659.jpg)
I suppose the daily disciplines are just a reflection of the qualities of my inner world - a mixture of paralysis and terror and a lighter, freer, kind of rebellious woman. So those are just constantly pushing against each other, and that's played out in every area of my life. — Miranda July
![Pushing Life Quotes By W. Somerset Maugham Pushing Life Quotes By W. Somerset Maugham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-w-somerset-maugham-2083771.jpg)
I adore good food as I adore all the other pleasant things of life, and because I have that gift I am able to look upon the future with equanimity."
"Why?" asked Alec.
"Because a love for good food is the only thing that remains with man when he grows old. Love? What is love when you are five and fifty and can no longer hide the disgraceful baldness of your pate. Ambition? What is ambition when you have discovered that honours are to the pushing and glory to the vulgar. Finally we must all reach an age when every passion seems vain, every desire not worth the trouble of achieving it; but then there still remain to the man with a good appetite three pleasures each day, his breakfast, his luncheon, and his dinner. — W. Somerset Maugham
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Kiyosaki Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Kiyosaki](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robert-kiyosaki-1664442.jpg)
If you learn life's lessons, you will do well. If not, life will just continue to push you around. People do two things. Some just let life push them around. Others get angry and push back. But they push back against their boss, or their job, or their husband or wife. They do not know it's life that's pushing. — Robert Kiyosaki
![Pushing Life Quotes By Greg Plitt Pushing Life Quotes By Greg Plitt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-greg-plitt-1683354.jpg)
When the winds of life don't hit your sails, you grab the oars of life and you start pushing. — Greg Plitt
![Pushing Life Quotes By Anne Morrow Lindbergh Pushing Life Quotes By Anne Morrow Lindbergh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-anne-morrow-lindbergh-1709577.jpg)
It is an oyster, with small shells clinging to its humped back. Sprawling and uneven, it has the irregularity of something growing. It looks rather like the house of a big family, pushing out one addition after another to hold its teeming life - here a sleeping porch for the children, and there a veranda for the play-pen; here a garage for the extra car and there a shed for the bicycles. It amuses me because it seems so much like my life at the moment, like most women's lives in the middle years of marriage. It is untidy, spread out in all directions, heavily encrusted with accumulations ... — Anne Morrow Lindbergh
![Pushing Life Quotes By Madeleine L'Engle Pushing Life Quotes By Madeleine L'Engle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-madeleine-lengle-2261705.jpg)
Life is the greatest gift that could ever be conceived ... A daffodil pushing up through the dark earth to the spring, knowing somehow deep in its roots that spring and light and sunshine will come, has more courage and more knowledge of the value of life than any human being I've met. — Madeleine L'Engle
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Sharma Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Sharma](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robin-sharma-2062169.jpg)
See your life as a giant adventure. Keep pushing the envelope, and remember that every dream starts off small. — Robin Sharma
![Pushing Life Quotes By Steven Morrissey Pushing Life Quotes By Steven Morrissey](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-steven-morrissey-1770239.jpg)
He is pushing his face in all the time and telling us about his private life. Nobody's interested. He should just go away. — Steven Morrissey

I have nothing to offer you," he finally said in a guttural voice.
"Nothing."
Win's lips had turned dry. She moistened them, and tried to speak through a thrill of anxious trembling. "You have yourself," she whispered.
"You don't know me. You think you do, but you don't. The things I've done, the things I'm capable of
you and your family, all you know of life comes from books. If you understood anything
"
"Make me understand. Tell me what is so terrible that you must keep pushing me away."
He shook his head.
"Then stop torturing the both of us," she said unsteadily. "Leave me, or let me go."
"I can't," he snapped. "I can't, damn you." And before she could make a sound, he kissed her. — Lisa Kleypas
![Pushing Life Quotes By Khaled Hosseini Pushing Life Quotes By Khaled Hosseini](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-khaled-hosseini-1826135.jpg)
It would be erroneous to say Sohrab was quiet. Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life.
Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.
Sohrab's silence wasn't the self imposed silence of those with convictions, of protesters who seek to speak their cause by not speaking at all. It was the silence of one who has taken cover in a dark place, curled up all the edges and tucked them under. — Khaled Hosseini
![Pushing Life Quotes By Christopher Morley Pushing Life Quotes By Christopher Morley](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-christopher-morley-1880191.jpg)
Even the most innocent of men's affairs seem doomed to cause suffering. Pushing the lawnmower through tall wet grass, and enjoying the strong aroma of the morning, I found that the blades had cut a frog in half. I have not forgotten his eyes. — Christopher Morley
![Pushing Life Quotes By Bernard Kelvin Clive Pushing Life Quotes By Bernard Kelvin Clive](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-bernard-kelvin-clive-1894560.jpg)
When the storms do come; you can only allow them to slow you down, but don't let them stop you, there will be delays, detours, and disappointments but you have to keep pushing through it. — Bernard Kelvin Clive
![Pushing Life Quotes By Daniel Tammet Pushing Life Quotes By Daniel Tammet](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-daniel-tammet-1947666.jpg)
When things don't come so naturally to you, you want to persevere, you want to keep pushing yourself to overcome obstacles that prevent you from having the kind of life that you want to have. — Daniel Tammet
![Pushing Life Quotes By Aaron Lauritsen Pushing Life Quotes By Aaron Lauritsen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-aaron-lauritsen-1967236.jpg)
Dig deep to finish what you start. Because no matter how hard it feels to push through adversity at the time, once your done, you'll own the experience for the rest of your life. — Aaron Lauritsen
![Pushing Life Quotes By Nhat Hanh Pushing Life Quotes By Nhat Hanh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-nhat-hanh-345511.jpg)
We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment? — Nhat Hanh

I don't know if I learned anything new from this journey, but I now had a beautiful and peaceful vision of the kind of balance I wanted in my life. To be able to move calmly and peacefully from one thing to the next, each in its own time, without the pressure of other responsibilities pushing in on me. And always writing, in and around and among everything else, always writing. I loved her sense of purpose and awareness of the spirit in all things. She honors all things. And she has a purpose in the words she spreads, certain words for certain people, and she watches, and she celebrates the blossoming that comes from her words. She has a rhythm for her everyday life which is productive and intentional, measured and life-giving. — Marge Hulburt

If the writer believes that our life is and will remain essentially mysterious, if he looks upon us as beings existing in a created order to whose laws we freely respond, then what he sees on the surface will be of interest to him only as he can go through it into an experience of mystery itself. His kind of fiction will always be pushing its own limits outward toward the limits of mystery, because for this kind of writer, the meaning of a story does not begin except at a depth where adequate motivation and adequate psychology and the various determinations have been exhausted. Such a writer will be interested in what we don't understand rather than in what we do. He will be interested in possibility rather than probability. He will be interested in characters who are forced out to meet evil and grace and who act on a trust beyond themselves - whether they know clearly what it is they act upon or not. — Flannery O'Connor

The water was tripping over itself, splashing and hypnotizing, and I tried to fix my mind on a chunk of it, like each little ripple was a life that began far away in a high mountain source and had traveled miles pushing forward until it arrived at this spot before my eyes, and now without hesitation that water-life was hurling itself over the cliff. I wanted my body in all that swiftness; I wanted to feel the slip and pull of the currents and be dashed and pummeled on the rocks below ... — Justin Torres

You've one mark on your record," Tamas said. "You once punched a na-baron in the face. Broke his jaw. Tell me about that."
Olem grimaced. "Officially, sir, I was pushing him out of the way of a runaway carriage. Saved his life. Half my company saw it."
"With your fist?"
"Aye."
"And unofficially?"
"The man was a git. He shot my dog because it startled his horse."
"And if I ever have cause to shoot your dog?"
"I'll punch you in the face."
"Fair enough. You have the job. — Brian McClellan

Mami had no choice but to tell Carlito and me the real story that same night.
In a way, I always knew something like that had happened. It was the only way to explain why my older brother got such special treatment his whole life - everyone scared to demand that he go to school, that he study, that he have better manners, that he stop pushing me around.
El Pobrecito is what everyone called him, and I always wondered why.
I was two years younger and nobody, and I mean nadie, paid me any mind, which is why, when our mother told me the story of our father trying to kill his son like we were people out of the Bible, part of me wished our papi had thrown me off that bridge instead. — Patricia Engel
![Pushing Life Quotes By Nas Pushing Life Quotes By Nas](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-nas-392120.jpg)
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about. You've always got to stick with whatever you're into because you're day is going to come. You're day is destined. If you walk away from that, whether it be from fear or whether you're just giving up. The greatest sin is fear and giving up. — Nas

A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot. — John Cleese

Motivation and inspiration energize people, not by pushing them in the right direction as control mechanisms do but by satisfying basic human needs for achievement, a sense of belonging, recognition, self-esteem, a feeling of control over one's life, and the ability to live up to one's ideals. Such feelings touch us deeply and elicit a powerful response. — John P. Kotter

I there first felt the impact of time, the force that was pushing me toward forty, the velocity with which life was consumed, the concreteness of the exposure to death: If it's happening to her, I thought, there's no escape, it will happen to me as well. — Elena Ferrante
![Pushing Life Quotes By Charles P. Pierce Pushing Life Quotes By Charles P. Pierce](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-charles-p-pierce-142873.jpg)
We will have to remember where our cranks belong in our national life, so that they can resume their proper roles as lonely guardians of the frontiers of the national imagination, prodding and pushing, getting us to think about things in new ways, but also knowing that their place is of necessity a lonely and humble one. There is nothing wrong with a country that has people who put saddles on their dinosaurs. It's a wonderful show and we should watch them and applaud. We have no obligation to climb aboard and ride. — Charles P. Pierce
![Pushing Life Quotes By Larissa MacFarquhar Pushing Life Quotes By Larissa MacFarquhar](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-larissa-macfarquhar-118460.jpg)
[Clayton] Christensen had seen dozens of companies falter by going for immediate payoffs rather than long-term growth, and he saw people do the same thing. In three hours at work, you could get something substantial accomplished, and if you failed to accomplish it you felt the pain right away. If you spent three hours at home with your family, it felt like you hadn't done a thing, and if you skipped it nothing happened. So you spent more and more time at the office, on high-margin, quick-yield tasks, and you even believed that you were staying away from home for the sake of your family. He had seen many people tell themselves that they could divide their lives into stages, spending the first part pushing forward their careers, and imagining that at some future point they would spend time with their families
only to find that by then their families were gone. — Larissa MacFarquhar
![Pushing Life Quotes By Trevor Noah Pushing Life Quotes By Trevor Noah](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-trevor-noah-98093.jpg)
I was blessed with another trait I inherited from my mother, her ability to forget the pain in life. I remember the thing that caused the trauma, but I don't hold onto the trauma. I never let the memory of something painful prevent me from trying something new. If you think too much about the ass kicking your mom gave you or the ass kicking that life gave you, you'll stop pushing the boundaries and breaking the rules. It's better to take it, spend some time crying, then wake up the next day and move on. You'll have a few bruises and they'll remind you of what happened and that's ok. But after a while, the bruises fade and they fade for a reason. Because now, it's time to get up to some shit again. — Trevor Noah

Any thoughts of being with Parker were long gone, and I knew it was because of my feelings for Travis. I thought about the different paths my life would take from that moment - trusting Travis with a leap of faith and risking the unknown, or pushing him away and knowing exactly where I would end up, which included a life without him - either decision terrified me. — Jamie McGuire

Everything ... has to be resolved through rhythms. You're constantly massaging each form, trying to get it home, pushing further and further until these all coalesce into a marvellous kind of rhythm that reveals the life of the painting. — Leland Bell
![Pushing Life Quotes By Tom Walsh Pushing Life Quotes By Tom Walsh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-tom-walsh-1164355.jpg)
Education is a choice. We don't become educated by watching television, and we don't learn a whole lot having similar conversations with the same, safe people day after day. Our education comes from pushing up against boundaries, from taking risks that may seem at first to be overwhelming, and by persevering past the first disappointments or shortfalls until we reach a point at which actual learning takes place. Determination and perseverance are absolutely vital to developing a true education
rarely, if ever, do we learn the most valuable lessons in the first few steps of the journey. — Tom Walsh

![Pushing Life Quotes By Paul Auster Pushing Life Quotes By Paul Auster](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-paul-auster-1130484.jpg)
I wanted to do something different. Therefore, the first person I thought would have been too exclusionary. It would have said me, me, me, me, me. I, I, I, I, I. As if I were pushing away my experiences from the experiences of others. Because basically what I was trying to do was show our commonality. I mean to say, in the very ordinariness of what I recount I think perhaps the reader will find resonances with his or her own life. — Paul Auster
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Norwood Pushing Life Quotes By Robin Norwood](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robin-norwood-1129025.jpg)
Praising and encouraging are very close to pushing, and when you do that you are trying again to take control of his life. Think about why you are lauding something he's done. Is it to help raise his self-esteem? That's manipulation. Is it so he will continue whatever behavior you're praising? That's manipulation. Is it so that he'll know how proud you are of him? That can be a burden for him to carry. Let him develop his own pride from his own accomplishments. — Robin Norwood
![Pushing Life Quotes By Flea Pushing Life Quotes By Flea](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-flea-1083520.jpg)
It's so easy to fall into a comfortable groove in life where you do the things that you like, and because of that, often times, we don't grow or change because we're not pushing ourselves. — Flea
![Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Frost Pushing Life Quotes By Robert Frost](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-robert-frost-1041606.jpg)
He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff's talus on the other side,
And then in the far-distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush--and that was all. — Robert Frost
![Pushing Life Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson Pushing Life Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-hunter-s-thompson-1009818.jpg)
No matter how much I wanted all those things that I needed money to buy, there was some devilish current pushing me off in another direction
toward anarchy and poverty and craziness. That maddening delusion that a man can lead a decent life without hiring himself out as a Judas Goat. — Hunter S. Thompson

If you want to write what the world is about, you have to write details ... real life is in the dishes. Real life is pushing strollers up the street, folding T-shirts, the alarm clock going off early and you dropping into bed exhausted every night. That's real life. — Anna Quindlen

Adultery often happens, I am sure, because you are on a sinking ship, and you need to leap but can't leap. You are too spineless, maybe, to leap.The water is too dark and choppy and the sea is too large. Saving your own life, even, isn't enough reason to jump- no, you need the hands at your back, pushing, the hands of something as unavoidable and inevitable and imperative as love.It's got to be something that big, you know, to get you to jump. — Deb Caletti

I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting. — Roberto Duran
![Pushing Life Quotes By Seth Lloyd Pushing Life Quotes By Seth Lloyd](https://quotessayings.net/pics/pushing-life-quote-by-seth-lloyd-1184968.jpg)
Science has an uncomfortable way of pushing human beings from center stage. In our prescientific stories, humans began as the focal point of Nature, living on an Earth that was the center of the universe. As the origins of the Earth and of mankind were investigated more carefully, it became clear that Nature had other interests beyond people, and the Earth was less central than previously hoped. Humankind was just one branch of the great family of life, and the Earth is a smallish planet orbiting an unexceptional sun quite far out on one arm of a run-of-the-mill spiral galaxy. — Seth Lloyd

I'm singing and dancing and playing guitar. I really enjoy pushing myself into different aspects. I'm not going to do this for the rest of my life, but I want to keep challenging myself.

Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long. — Sue Monk Kidd

In the utter peace and stillness the world seemed holding its breath, a little apprehensively, drawing near to the fire to warm itself. There was none of that sense of urgeful, pushing life that robs even a calm spring day of the sense of silence; life was over and the year was just waiting, harboring its strength for the final storms and turmoil of its death. The warmth and the color of maturity was there, exultant and burning, visible to the eyes, but the prophecy of decay was felt in a faint shiver of cold at morning and evening and a tiny sigh of the elms at midnight when a wandering ghost of a wind plucked a little of their gold away from them. — Elizabeth Goudge

Instead of turning our heads from pain, we merge with it, neither holding on to it nor pushing it away, becoming instead an instrument of transformation. Recently, on my early morning drive to a health club, I saw a deer in the middle lane, trying to get up, but obviously crippled. Her eyes looked confused and frightened. As I drove by, I breathed in her pain and breathed out a blessing. I could feel a dark cloud swirling inside of me, but I also had an image of a deer running freely in the woods. I can never know if it helped her, but something loosened inside of me. Instead of turning away from her pain, I joined her. It was then I realized more deeply the power of Tonglin...
When you feel hurt, confused, lonely, or sad, breathe into your pain, feel it, be with it, then breathe out an image of clarity, light, and a blessing. This alone will start to change your life. — Charlotte Kasl

But life is too short not to make a fool out of yourself from time to time. And sometimes you need to make an ass out of yourself, just to see what you are capable of doing next. Life isn't just about pushing your limits and seeing what you're made of in the face of adversity. Sometimes it's about getting embarrassed and feeling humiliated and seeing where you can go from there. — Abby Rosmarin

I haven't had a lot of good, soft things in my life," he said against my forehead. "Not since my family sent me away. Apart from being your sire and feeling that pull to you, it's that goodness, that softness and warmth, along with the resolve and strength in you, that I love. Being turned hasn't taken that from you. If someone were going to design the perfect mate for me, it would be you. Even when you infuriate me with your pigheaded stubbornness and your temper and incredible lack of anything resembling self-preservation - "
"Stop describing me please."
"You're the most fascinating, maddening, adorable creature I've ever met," he said, sighing and pushing my hair out of my eyes. "So, when I seem possessive or I'm raving like a lunatic, it's just that part of me is still very afraid that I'll lose that - that I'll lose you. I love you. — Molly Harper
