Quotations
Life
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
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"
Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
-Eckhart Tolle
Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.
-Ayn Rand
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
-Epicurus
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
You ask: What is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: Do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
-Freeman Dyson
