"On Chesil Beach"
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"
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
-Epicurus
You ask: What is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: Do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
-Freeman Dyson
"The Meaning of Life"
There are two ways of passing from this world – one in light, and one in darkness. When one passes in light he does not come back but when one passes in darkness he returns.
Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
-Paulo Coelho
"Brida"
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"
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware. Joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Henry Miller
