Memorable Quotes from "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel - 2

I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary. 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.


To look out with idle hope is tantamount to dreaming one's life away.

Memorable Quotes from "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel - 1

Nil magnum nisi bonum - no greatness without goodness.

Look: Christ on the Cross died of suffocation, but His only complaint was of thirst. If thirst can be so taxing that even God Incarnate complains about it, imagine the effect on regular human.
