The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer
"Five Finger Exercise: A Play"
Quotations
Life
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"
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
"Eat, Pray, Love"
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
-Epicurus
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
Who says life is fair, where is that written?
-William Goldman
"The Princess Bride"
If you can always smile at life, life will always smile at you.
-Mirra Alfassa "Mirra Alfassa"
Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.
-Paulo Coelho
