Roger Waters Quotes

Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity.

There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

I have been taking every step toward the future every day through making many paintings and sculptures with my deep emotion hidden in my life.

The first record I spent five years writing and it was an amalgamation of all the things that happened in my life from the time I was fifteen to the time I was twenty.

I think I've lived a pretty hard life. What I mean by hard is that... I've been kind of reckless with things. I'm a passionate person. I'm a super passionate person. I think there's definitely been sorrow in my life, good and bad. I think it comes through. I hope it comes through in my writing because to me that's what artistry is.

I am so enriched because so much has happened in my life. The way I can express myself is because of the life I have led. It's only when you experience life can you emote it.

Life is a very emotional experience.

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

You don't wake up one morning and say, 'Today is going to be a comedy day.' And the next day, 'Today's going to be a drama day.' Things happen in life that are fun and light, and things happen that are heavier. You just have to move your way through life, and I think 'BoJack' is a good reflection of that.

Life is sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, sometimes you're in love, sometimes you fight, and that's a life.

it is better to take experience, to suffer, to love, and to remember than to walk unscathed between the fires. I've had most immunities myself - the result of an independent income combined with a personality completely devoid of sexual attractions - the two fires of poverty and passion have therefore never burned me, and I am a lesser person for my safety.

That's what life is, just one learning experience after another, and when you're through with all the learning experiences you graduate and what you get for a diploma is, you die.

Each story, good and bad, short or long-from that trip to the mall when you saw Santa, to a long, bad illness-they are all a line or a paragraph in our own life manuscript. Two thirds of the way through, even, and it all won't necessarily make sense, but at the end there'll be a beautiful whole, where every sentence of every chapter fits.

The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.

It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.

We are meant to taste of life ... and drink the cup of it to the dregs, bitter and sweet alike.

Old age takes away from us what we have inherited and gives us what we have earned.

The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.

What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.

There is room in the halls of pleasure for a large and lordly train, but one by one we must all file on through the narrow aisles of pain.

Our lives are interesting.

Death is beautiful. It alone gives love its true habitat.

Life involves passions, faiths, doubts, and courage.

No lifetime is long enough for those ... who simply wish to understand themselves and their lives. It is, perhaps, the curse of being human, but also a blessing.
