Quotations
Life
In three words I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: it goes on.
-Robert Frost
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
Just when I found out the meaning of life, they changed it.
-George Carlin
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"
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"
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.

When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.

Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
