I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
-Paulo Coelho
"Eleven Minutes"
Quotations
Life
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
-Charlie Chaplin
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
-Bob Moawad
It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
"Eat, Pray, Love"
I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.
-Arthur Rubinstein
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!
-Hunter S. Thompson
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"
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
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
Our energy level decides which state of mind we will live in. More the energy
accumulated in us...deeper the state of mind we begin to dwell in.
-Deep Trivedi
