Quotations
Life
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
If you care about something you have to protect it – If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
-John Irving
"A Prayer for Owen Meany"
It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Life itself is simple...it's just not easy.
-Steve Maraboli
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
-Douglas Coupland
"Shampoo Planet"
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen
"The Truth About Forever"
It is forbidden to live in a town that does not have a green garden.
-The Talmud "Talmud"
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
