Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
Quotations
Life
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
-Hal Borland "Hal Borland"
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
-Carl Gustav Jung
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The closer we come to death, the more important becomes this single indispensable thing called life.
-Leo Tolstoy
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and that to destroy, to harm, or to hinder life is evil.
-Albert Schweitzer "Albert Schweitzer"
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"
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
-Paulo Coelho
Rise to the occasion which is life!
-Virginia Euwer Wolff
