It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.
-Jean Cocteau
You have crossed the great ocean; why do you halt so near the shore? Make haste to get on the other side, Gautama; be careful all the while!
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction is to live twice.
-Khalil Gibran
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
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"
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
All your efforts at the end are nothing, but inviting pains and pleasures in life,
whereas to be steadfast in your 'being' no effort is required. The best part is,
there is only joy and happiness, not just for one but for hundreds of reasons.
-Deep Trivedi
Life should be full of colours! And each colour is meant to be seen and enjoyed separately, for if seen all mixed together, they will appear all black. Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
If you care about something you have to protect it – If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
-John Irving
