Life Philosophy Quotes

“We, the black people, the most displaced, the poorest, the most maligned and scourged, we had the glorious task of reclaiming the soul and saving the honor of the country. We, the most hated, must take hate into our hands and by the miracle of love, turn loathing into love. We, the most feared and apprehensive must take fear and by love, change it into hope. We, who die daily in large and small ways, must take the demon death and turn it into life.-Martin Luther King Jr.”

“It was Don Paolo's birthday and all the people of the village were gathered in the piazza to celebrate him. The band played, the wine flowed, the children danced, and, as he stood for a moment alone under the pergola, a little girl approached the the beloved priest. "But Don Paolo, are you not happy?" she asked him. "Of course I am happy," he assured the little girl. "Why, then, aren't you crying?”

“Joining her at the table, Liz said, “They’re ever-changing. Swirling, dilating, expanding. To look at, you’d think they hardly move at all, but they actually travel at around a hundred miles an hour.” She took Naomi’s hands in hers again. “We are never stuck, my love. We’re always moving towards something, whether we see it or not. And yes, sometimes we’re forced to bear the greyness of life, but eventually the sun shines through us again.” She smiled, her pink papery cheeks resembling the inside of a rose. “As Maya Angelou once said, ‘Every storm runs out of rain’.”

“But she never lost her essence. Even when she sensed eyes upon her. Even when she felt pursued. Even when she experienced unease on the road. Even when it seemed the world wished her away. She remained alive. She stood tall. She continued to fight. She learned to perceive the world in a new light — to detect danger before it approached, to guard herself with a fierce determination that resonated within her core, to walk with her head held high even as her heart quivered. She discovered that malevolence could be silent. It could be subtle. It could masquerade as concern, curiosity, or coincidence. Yet, she also realized that strength could be quiet too. Strength could be as simple as rising each day. Strength could be the choice to persevere. Strength could be the defiance to vanish. And Michella chose not to disappear.”

“জীবনটা হলো একটা সুন্দর করে সাজানো বাগানের মত। যেদিকে খুশি ইচ্ছেমত উড়ে যেতে পারে তুমি। কিম্বা কখনো ভ্রমর হয়ে উড়ে বেড়াতে পারো এক ফুল থেকে অন্য ফুলে।”

“Ah, but life is a game too, a playful exercise, playing is a very serious, grave, even philosophical act, for children, it's part of growing up, for adults it's a link with their childhood, advantageous for some. Whole libraries of books have been written on the subject, all of them solid, weighty tomes, only a fool could fail to be convinced. The mistake lies in thinking that such profundity can be found only in books, when in fact a quick glance, a moment's attention, is all it takes to see how the cat plays with the mouse, and how the latter is eaten by the former. The question, the only one that matters, is knowing who exploits the initial innocence of the games, this game that was never innocent, for example, when the foreman says to the workers, Let's run, and see who gets there last, And the innocents, blind to the obvious deceit, run, trot, gallop, stagger from Monte Lavre to Vale de Cães, merely for the glory of arriving first or for the smug satisfaction of not being last. Because the last man, well, someone always has to be last, will have to put up with the jeers and mockery of the winners, who are already panting and breathless, they haven't even started work yet but the poor fools waste their breath on this explosion of scorn.”
