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"
Quotations
Life
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
-Deep Trivedi
If there's a thing I've learned in my life, it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for, don't.
-Cassandra Clare
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
-Emily Dickinson
If there is any planning worth undertaking in human life it is, when one breathes
his last neither should he have any guilt nor dissatisfaction... Despite doing
everything desired, still if he has any kind of remorse or discontent while bidding
goodbye to this world...then what did he do all his life?
-Deep Trivedi
Nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"White Nights"
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
-Paulo Coelho
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.
-Ronald Reagan
