When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Quotations
Life
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
-Jean Paul Sartre
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"
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.
-William Goldman
"The Princess Bride"
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
-Alfred Adler
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
Life is a beach-I'm just playing in the sand.
-Lil Wayne
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
-Margaret Mitchell
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-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.
