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
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
-Henry David Thoreau
Life's as kind as you let it be.
-Charles Bukowski
"Hot Water Music"
Goodness and holistic way of living go together.
-J. Krishnamurti
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-William Wordsworth
Life is a journey towards the unknown. An empty mind is useful in that journey rather than a mind filled with past.
-J. Krishnamurti
Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.
-Paulo Coelho
