Text Quotes
Books, like people, can't be reduced to the cost of the materials with which they were made. Books, like people, become unique and precious once you get to know them (Yann Martel Quotes)
Stories - individual stories, family stories, national stories - are what stitch together the disparate elements of human existence into a coherent whole. We are story animals (Yann Martel Quotes)
Just as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense (Yann Martel Quotes)
Life and death live and die in exactly the same spot, the body. It is from there that both babies and cancers are born (Yann Martel Quotes)
My ears were full. Nothing more, not one more sound, could push into them and be registered (Yann Martel Quotes)
Blessed be shock. Blessed be the part of us that protects us from too much pain and sorrow. At the heart of life is a fusebox (Yann Martel Quotes)
Slice a pear and you will find that it's flesh is incandescent white. It glows with inner light. Those who carry a knife and a pear are never afraid of the dark (Yann Martel Quotes)
You bring joy and pain in equal measure. Joy because you are with me, but pain because it wont be for long (Yann Martel Quotes)
Come aboard if your destination is oblivion - it should be our next stop. We can sit together. You can have the window seat if you want. But it's a sad view (Yann Martel Quotes)
We are all born like Catholics, aren't we - in limbo, without religion, until some figure introduces us to God? (Yann Martel Quotes)
My greatest wish - other than salvation - was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One I could read again and again, with new eyes and a fresh understanding each time (Yann Martel Quotes)
I did not count the days or the weeks or the months. Time is an illusion that only makes us pant. I survived because I forgot even the very notion of time (Yann Martel Quotes)
If you are pitched into misery, remember that your days on this earth are counted and you might as well make the best of those you have left (Yann Martel Quotes)
Art is the suitcase of history, carrying the essentials. Art is the life buoy of history. Art is seed, art is memory, art is vaccine (Yann Martel Quotes)
My life is like a memento mori painting from European art: there is always a grinning skull at my side to remind me of the folly of human ambition (Yann Martel Quotes)
Survival starts by paying attention to what is close at hand and immediate. To look out with idle hope is tantamount to dreaming one's life away (Yann Martel Quotes)
There are animals we haven't stopped by. Don't think they're harmless. Life will defend itself no matter how small it is (Yann Martel Quotes)
When your own life is threatened, your sense of empathy is blunted by a terrible, selfish hunger for survival (Yann Martel Quotes)
The moon was a sharply defined crescent and the sky was perfectly clear. The stars shone with such fierce, contained brilliance that it seemed absurd to call the night dark (Yann Martel Quotes)
At moments of wonder, it is easy to avoid small thinking, to entertain thoughts that span the universe, that capture both thunder and tinkle, thick and thin, the near and the far (Yann Martel Quotes)
The worst pair of opposites is boredom and terror. Sometimes your life is a pendulum swing from one to the other (Yann Martel Quotes)
Nature can put on a thrilling show. The stage is vast, the lighting is dramatic, the extras are innumerable, and the budget for special effects is absolutely unlimited (Yann Martel Quotes)
Was it the forgetfulness of old age or personal incapacity that made the man able to say please but not thank you? (Yann Martel Quotes)
I was not wounded in any part of my body, but I had never experienced such intense pain, such a ripping of the nerves, such an ache of the heart (Yann Martel Quotes)
A house is a compressed territory where our basic needs can be fulfilled close by and safely (Yann Martel Quotes)
Books lined the shelves of bookstores like kids standing in a row to play baseball or soccer, and mine was the gangly, unathletic kid that no one wanted on their team (Yann Martel Quotes)
He's a shy man. Life has taught him not to show off what is most precious to him (Yann Martel Quotes)
Words are cold, muddy toads trying to understand sprites dancing in a field - but they're all we have (Yann Martel Quotes)
If you don't let technology help you, if you resist good ideas, you condemn yourself to dinosaurhood (Yann Martel Quotes)
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you've defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you (Yann Martel Quotes)
