You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
-Paulo Coelho
Quotations
Life
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"
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
Of winter’s lifeless world each tree now seems a perfect part; Yet each one holds summer’s secret deep down within its heart.
-Charles G. Stater "Charles. G. Stater"
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-Deep Trivedi
The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
-Anonymous "Perfect Liberty Kyodan"
Who says life is fair, where is that written?
-William Goldman
"The Princess Bride"
It is forbidden to live in a town that does not have a green garden.
-The Talmud "Talmud"
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.
-Jonathan Safran Foer
"Everything is Illuminated"
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
