But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"White Nights"
Quotations
Life
It is a reality of life that affection is not always reciprocated.
-Alison Gardner
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard”, I am always tempted to ask, compared to what?
-Sydney J. Harris
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.
'Big loss - Small gain' is a loss making deal in life... At the same time, depriving
yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
-Deep Trivedi
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
-Henry David Thoreau
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
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware. Joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Henry Miller
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
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
