Quotations
Life
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
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
-Plato "Plato"
Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"The Gardener"
The light teaches you to convert life into a festive promenade.
-Dejan Stojanović
"The Sun Watches the Sun"
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
-Nelson Mandela "Nelson Mandela"
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"
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
-Oscar Wilde
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
