Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Quotations
Life
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"
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"
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement; this is the final truth.
-Ramana Maharshi
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
"Holes"
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard”, I am always tempted to ask, compared to what?
-Sydney J. Harris
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.
-Ronald Reagan
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Goodness and holistic way of living go together.
-J. Krishnamurti
