Quotations
Life
One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive.
-George Allen "George Allen"
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
-Paulo Coelho
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
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
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.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it.
-Gustave Flaubert
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
-Hans Christian Anderson
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
