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"
Quotations
Life
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
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
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
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
-Epicurus
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Life is life – Whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo
The closer we come to death, the more important becomes this single indispensable thing called life.
-Leo Tolstoy
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
