Life of Pi

Just finished reading " Life of Pi" , its novel about a 16 year old boy 227 days cast away in pacific ocean with a bengal tiger. Below are some of the quotes I liked from the book.

When your own life is threatened, your sense of empathy is blunted by a terrible, selfish hunger for survival


It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then you can let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse


Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer

Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love- but sometimes it was so hard to love

And Now



Within you is a stillness that is bursting with energy, a moment of silence full of potential. Within you is a place which knows fear is an illusion and therefore anything is possible. Beneath all the stories of this world is the universal story, the realization of how we are each connected to all existence. This is not an idea, a moment, a place or even a feeling; it simply is. It is the Now.


The above quote is also from Story Waters of Limitless.com, the one I mentioned in the previous post :)
