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"
Quotations
Life
Believing life to be of 60 years, we live our entire life considering it to be "One"
unit. This is the reason, why memories of the past and fear of the future keep
haunting us. Whereas in reality, life is the culmination of billions of moments put
together. Hence, each moment - a new moment. And when each moment is a
new moment... then which past and whose future?
-Deep Trivedi
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If you can always smile at life, life will always smile at you.
-Mirra Alfassa "Mirra Alfassa"
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
-Hilary Cooper
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-William Wordsworth
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
-Charlie Chaplin
You can get all A's and still flunk life.
-Walker Percy
"The Second Coming"
When life is viewed as good, a bad day is easily absorbed.
