The most beautiful rooms I have entered have been empty ones. Warehouses full of light and dust. Empty attics with a view. Coastlines. Prairies.
Yann MartelThe 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, a jealous, possesive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.
Yann MartelTo prosper, a zoo needs parliamentary government, democratic elections, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, rule of law and everything else enshrined in India's Constitution. Impossible to enjoy the animals otherwise. Long-term, bad politics is bad for business.
Yann MartelNature 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 MartelMots clés nature
الإيمان بالله هو انقتاح كامل, تسليم مطلق, ثقه عميقه, فعل حب حر, لكن أحياناً كان من شبه المستحيل أن أشعر بالحب. أحياناً كان قلبي يغرق بسرعة بالغضب, و الإحباط و القلق, كنت أخشى أن يغرق إيماني في قاع المحيط الهادئ فلا يعود بإمكاني انشاله
Yann Martelعليك أن تجري تعديلات إذا ما كنت تريد النجاه. الكثير يصبح مستهلكاً, تحصل على سعادتك حيث يمكن. تصل إلى نقطه تكون فيها في قاع الجحيم, و مع ذلك تجلش متكاتفاً و ابتسامه تعلو وجهك, شاعراً أنك أكثر الناس حظاً على وجه البسيطه. لماذا؟ لأن ثمة سمكه صغيره ميته عند قدميك.
Yann MartelFaith 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. Sometimes my heart was sinking so fast with anger, desolation and weariness, I was afraid it would sink to the very bottom of the Pacific and I would not be able to lift it back up.
Yann MartelThe main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart.
Yann MartelJust beyond the ticket booth Father had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror. (1.8.4)
