Life of Pi

"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places."

"Fear is useful only when there is true danger, yet nothing threatens us here in this boat."

"An animal reducer! I have become a great redditor of animals."

"I am lucky. I have come across a world that wants me dead, yet I am standing."

"Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not."

"When you choose an interpretation that appalls you less, you are laching out at yourself."

"It is the very reason I'm alive. It is the connection between my life and the infinite."

"I am a person of faith. I believe in God."

"There are always dead animals at the side of the road. I have seen so many here on Highway 1, most of them squashed to a wet pancake by the time I spotted them."

"Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love."

"If we burn bridges behind us, we can only move forward. Which way, then, should we face?"

"I love life. Even when I suffer, I love it. Some people get lucky and Christ comes to them. Others have to look for Christ."

"We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by drowning in our thoughts."

"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity—it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it."

"I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye."

"Life is full of surprises. You never know what is around the corner. It could be anything."

"I believe in the universe that reveals itself harshly in equations and statistics, showing only a sparse and heartrending world. But the universe that kibitzers love is generous and kind, merciful and just."
