-Plato
Quotations
Life
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
Life has become immeasurably better since I have stopped taking it seriously.
-Hunter S. Thompson

-Jean Cocteau
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
-Deep Trivedi
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"
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Live simply that others might simply live.
-Elizabeth Ann Seton
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
-Oprah Winfrey "Oprah Winfrey"
