Life And Living Quotes

“Most of the pilgrims I met in Mexico were running from something: financial woes, a pissed-off spouse, or a life that hit a dead end. Regardless of the reasons for the journey, the Margarita Road will take you far from all those problems. Still, there are no guarantees. A funny thing about the past--it can catch up to you even on a remote tropical seashore. Sometimes you bring it with you.”

“For some time now, people like me had been drifting south, ending up in Mexico with Jimmy Buffett songs playing in their heads. They left behind mortgages, failed marriages, and a lifetime of disappointments. Some of them came looking for a fresh start, and some were searching for a place to hide. A few were pulled by a dream they could never quite understand, until they walked down the beach to that crystal-clear water for the first time.”

“Oh sure, there was a gringo gulch where the sunbirds lived in the winter months. But if you avoided them, you might hook up with the small community of Margarita Road refugees: a group of wanderers from up north; a crazy Irish sailor; a few Italians; some young, fast-living kids from Mexico City; and one beautiful girl from Brazil. All in all, it was a nice place to stay—or hide, if that’s what you needed.”

“He kept ordering beers and making what he thought were humorous jokes about how Mexicans sleep all day, all the while telling me how great my life was without a ‘real job.’ After an hour or so of this, I was ready to pour the next drink over his head.”

“Come si fa a dare valore a una cosa che può finire in qualsiasi momento, una cosa così fragile? Si dà valore a ciò che ha forza, e la vita non ne ha; a ciò che è indistruttibile, e la vita non lo è. Tant'è vero che può arrivare qualcuno a chiederti di sacrificarla, la tua vita, per qualcosa che ha più forza. La patria, per esempio. [...] Nessuno ama l'intero genere umano. Non si può piangere sulle esistenze interrotte di miliardi di individui a partire da sei milioni di anni fa. Non era forse questo il patto originario: che ogni esistenza sulla Terra dovesse interrompersi, prima o poi? Sentire con le proprie orecchie il nitrito sgomento di un cavallo strazia più del pensiero di un uomo sconosciuto, morto perché di morti è fatta la Storia. Non esiste pietà universale, solo l'impietosirsi davanti al destino di un singolo essere umano.”

“Are you confused about being human? The reason is because you are much more than what the mind wants you to think or believe, and you know this innately. Being does not mean that we will not become ill. It does not imply that this human form will not encounter difficulty and pain. Being does not suggest that we will receive a paradise that the mind thinks we lost and are so desperate to find. Being is simply that; it is.”

“Is life, love, or any detail of our existence really that complicated? There are situations that warrant our attention. This is unavoidable for a life-form living in a universe with other objects. However, it is the mind that infests the moment with random thoughts and emotions. The mind is usually the master that dominates, and conscious awareness is the servant.”

“If I live like a mountain, I will overcome temptations. I understand that temptations happen to test my patience, strength, and willingness to survive, become, and continue. I am aware that every time I overcome a temptation I am stronger than before. Dear temptation, knock on my rock as many times as you want and as much harder as you can, the result is you vanish and I continue stronger, so thank you God for your temptation.”

“I don't like calling myself a "life-coach". I cannot teach you how to live your life, but I can point out why things are happening the way they are happening in your life and what the outcome will be if you change or don't change the course. Some of us simply learn better from collective and individual history, seeing patterns where others are confused or misled. And none of it is about avoiding life mistakes, but simply about gaining knowledge, making progress and moving on as a better, wiser and stronger version of yourself.”
