Quotations
Life
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.
-Ernest Hemingway
We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.
-Voltaire
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
-Douglas Coupland
"Shampoo Planet"
Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting"
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"
