The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
-Henry David Thoreau
Quotations
Life
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
-George Bernard Shaw
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware. Joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Henry Miller
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
-Deep Trivedi
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
"Holes"
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
-Hilary Cooper
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
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
-Paulo Coelho
After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, We live a little while. We die.
-E. B. White
"Charlotte's Web"
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
