Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
Quotations
Life
Believing life to be of 60 years, we live our entire life considering it to be "One"
unit. This is the reason, why memories of the past and fear of the future keep
haunting us. Whereas in reality, life is the culmination of billions of moments put
together. Hence, each moment - a new moment. And when each moment is a
new moment... then which past and whose future?
-Deep Trivedi
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
-Tennessee Williams
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer
"Five Finger Exercise: A Play"
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we
can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.
-Deep Trivedi
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
-Abraham Lincoln
The life we’re given is on a thread, so wear it well.
-Benny Bellamacina
"The king of Rhyme"
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"
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
-Carl Gustav Jung
