You must always believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.
-Rebecca West
"The Fountain Overflows"
Quotations
Life
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
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
Nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
-Eddie Cantor
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction is to live twice.
-Khalil Gibran
You can get all A's and still flunk life.
-Walker Percy
"The Second Coming"
Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.
-Eric Idle
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
-Helen Keller
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
