This collection holds 18 life thinking my life quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Vidal Sassoon, Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.

I enjoy looking back on my life. I'm thinking seriously about starting to write about it.

Through therapy and a lot of thinking and writing my memoirs, I've been able to use my life as a lesson.

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance.

I tend to navigate by indirection, meaning that most of the major things in my life have happened when I've been thinking about something else.

If you think about the amount of critical thinking that has come into the field of economics, two universities have dominated the landscape in my life: Chicago and Harvard.

The only thing I understand deeply, because in my teens I was thinking about it, and every year of my life, is software. So I'll never be hands-on on anything except software.

Reading Epictetus, I realized that most of the pain in my life came not from any actual privations or insults but, rather, from the shame of thinking that they could have been avoided.

I lived all my life thinking the reason I was in care was because I was naughty. Because I was breaking and entering, pickpocketing, vandalism. I wasn't party to any social workers' reports.
