There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
-George Bernard Shaw
Quotations
Life
To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
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"
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
-Marcus Aurelius
I believe when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
-Ron White
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
-Katharine Hepburn
"Me: Stories of My Life"
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
-Deep Trivedi
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
