Quotations
Life
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"
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.
-Garth Stein
"The Art of Racing in the Rain"
It can only take a moment to waste the rest of your life.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Snuff"
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 has become immeasurably better since I have stopped taking it seriously.
-Hunter S. Thompson
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
-Hans Christian Anderson
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
-Søren Kierkegaard
