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"
People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Witch Of Portobello"
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
-Eddie Cantor
To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.
-Ronald Reagan
Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
-Henry Miller
The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
-Plato
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"
