Ravi was right. Truly I was to be the next goat. I had a wet, trembling, half-drowned, heaving and coughing three-year-old adult Bengal tiger in my lifeboat. Richard Parker rose unsteadily to his feet on the tarpaulin, eyes blazing as they met mine, ears laid tight to his head, all weapons drawn. His head was the size and colour of the lifebuoy, with teeth.
I turned around, stepped over the zebra and threw myself overboard.
Those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly we are not the same afterwards.
Yann MartelProgress is unstoppable. It is a drumbeat to which we must all march. Technology helps and good ideas spread - these are two laws of nature. If you don't let technology help you, if you resist good ideas, you condemn yourself to dinosaurhood!
Yann MartelFor the first time I noticed – as I would notice repeatedly during my ordeal, between one throe of agony and the next – that my suffering was taking place in a grand setting. I saw my suffering for what it was, finite and insignificant, and I was still. My suffering did not fit anywhere, I realized. And I could accept this. It was all right. (It was daylight that brought my protest: “No! No! No! My suffering does matter. I want to live! I can’t help but mix my life with that of the universe. Life is a peephole, a single tiny entry onto a vastness – how can I not dwell on this brief, cramped view I have of things? This peephole is all I’ve got!”). I mumbled words of Muslim prayer and went back to sleep. from the Life of Pi, page 177.
Yann Martelماجدوى العقل إذا يارتشارد باركر , ؟ أوظيفته الوحيدة تدبير الأمور العملية فحسب ؟ تأمين الطعام والثياب والمأوى لماذا لا يقدم العقل أجوبة أكبر ؟ ولماذا الأسئلة التي نطرحها تفوق الأجوبة دائماً لماذا الشبكة كبيرة إذا كانت الأسماك قليلة إلى هذا الحد ؟

يهاجر الناس بسبب تفاقم القلق, بسبب الأحساس المقيت بأنهم مهما عملوا بجدٍ فلن يأتيهم عملهم بنتيجة, وأن مايعمرونه في سنة قد يدمره الأخرون في يوم. بسبب الأحساس بأن المستقبل مقفل, وأنهم و إن دبروا أمورهم فلن يتمكنوا من تدبير أمور أطفالهم. بسبب الإحساس بأن شيئاً لن يتغير, وأن السعادة و الإزدهار ممكنان فقط في مكان آخر.
Yann MartelAnd so, when she first heard of Hare Krishnas, she didn’t hear right. She heard “Hairless Christians”, and that is what they were to her for many years. When I corrected her, I told her that in fact she was not so wrong; that Hindus, in their capacity for love, are indeed 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.
Yann MartelIch hatte nicht viel Ahnung von [der christlichen] Religion. Es gab kaum Götter, und sie galt als gewalttätig. Allerdings hatte sie gute Schulen.
Yann MartelWas für ein Schlag, wenn das Herz eines Menschen mit so etwas fertig werden muss!
Wer einen Bruder verliert, der verliert jemanden, mit dem er gemeinsam alt werden konnte, jemanden, der ihm eine Schwägerin, Nichten und Neffen bescheren sollte, Menschen, die den Baum eines Lebens bevölkern und ihm neue Zweige geben sollen.
Den Vater zu verlieren heißt den zu verlieren, der dem Leben die Richtung gibt, denjenigen, zu dem man geht, wenn man in Not ist, der einen trägt und erhält, wie ein Stamm die Äste eines Baumes trägt.
Und wenn man die Mutter verliert, das ist, als verlöre man die Sonne am Himmel.
