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"
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
-Emily Dickinson
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
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
Life should be full of colours! And each colour is meant to be seen and enjoyed separately, for if seen all mixed together, they will appear all black. Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Witch Of Portobello"
I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
-Jimi Hendrix
Life is but a dream for the dead.
-Gerard Way
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
