Life of Pi quotable Quotes
"That's what fiction isn't it; the selective transforming of reality? The twisting of it to bring out its essence?"
"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps our oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud."
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
"All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving, it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive."
"Memory is an ocean and he bobs on it's surface."
"Much hostile and aggressive behavior among animals is the expression os social insecurity.... Social rank is central to how it leads its life. Rank determines whom it can associate with and how; where and when it can eat; where it can rest; drink; and so on. Until it knows its rank for certain, the animal lives a life of unbeatable anarchy."
"We are all born like Catholics, aren't we--in limbo, without a religion, until some figure introduces us to God? After that meeting the matter ends for most of us. If there is change, it is usually for the lesser rather than the greater, many people seem to lose God along life's way."
"Hindus, in their capacity for love, are hairless Christians, just as Muslims, in the way they see God in everything, are bearded Hindus, and Christians, in their devotion to God, are hat-wearing Muslims."
"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treachearous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always.
"One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy, then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief, and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly-armed-foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. You become anxious."
