Life Project Quotes

“   Let us imagine a man whose wealth is equalled only by his indifference to what wealth generally brings, a man of exceptional arrogance who wishes to fix, to describe, and to exhaust not the whole world—merely to state such an ambition is enough to invalidate it—but a constituted fragment of the world: in the face of the inextricable incoherence of things, he will set out to execute a (necessarily limited) programme right the way through, in all its irreducible, intact entirety.
   In other words, Bartlebooth resolved one day that his whole life would be organised around a single project, an arbitrarily constrained programme with no purpose outside its own completion.”
― Georges Perec, Life: A User's Manual

“Drawing out yourself life projects, establishing goals, whether in the short, medium or long term, is what gives meaning to our lives.”
― Jasmina Alexander, MY LIFE IN QUOTES
