Quotations
Life
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
Life's as kind as you let it be.
-Charles Bukowski
"Hot Water Music"
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
-Woody Allen
The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.
-Ronald Reagan
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
If you care about something you have to protect it – If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
-John Irving
