It’s nice to realize that after so many years of the dominance of the Internet and television, people finally began to read books again, and not some pulp fiction, but classics such as F. M. Dostoevsky, M. Yu. Lermontov, E. M Remarque, and many others. Undoubtedly, the works of great writers of all time contain interesting statements about life that can motivate the reader, and sometimes even bring them back to life from the tenacious embrace of depression and hopelessness. Truly, a good book can save a person’s life!
Wise sayings by E. M. Remarque
This great writer is famous for interesting quotes that fans find hundreds in his works. Remarque can be cited endlessly, as its interesting statements about life, friendship, love and society are permeated with sharp stark frankness and metaphor.
In one of his sayings, Remarque says that a person is always not only what he already has. Things, people and achievements that he cannot get are much more attractive. Unfortunately, this idea is relevant even now, when, having succumbed to the frantic rhythm of cities and the load of imposed modern values, people tend to conquer new heights without noticing those simple joys that make up little human happiness …
Some eventually learn simple worldly truths and repent of excessive ambitiousness and wasted time. However, the time does not turn back and, according to Remarque, it makes no sense to try to be saints, because life is not a museum … Repentance does not bring benefits, it only hurts the soul, so you should learn from mistakes and move forward.
Statements by Gabriel Marquez
The incredibly talented writer G. Marquez teaches us to be optimistic and in no case give up. Like Remarque, he owns the most famous interesting statements about life, most of which are very life-affirming.
One of Marquez’s most famous quotes is: “Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it was.” It is incredibly capacious and truly universal. It can be attributed to outdated relationships, and to a personality crisis, and to a forced career change. Like Remarque, Marquez speaks of the meaninglessness of repentance and regrets that do not benefit the spirit. Saying goodbye to the past, even if it is full of mistakes, we should thank the higher forces for this lesson and experience and move on through life with a smile, striving for self-improvement.
Wise sayings about the life of Bernard Shaw
This famous Irish writer left behind not only magnificent books, but also the script of the film, for which he received an Oscar. In general, this is the only writer in the world who immediately won 2 of the greatest prizes of all time - the Nobel Prize and the Oscars.
Wise and slightly ironic statements about people, about life make you laugh at your own vices and thus try to eradicate them. The author so eloquently expresses thoughts and makes such accurate comparisons that the reader admires every line of his works.
A lot of Shaw's statements are devoted to a political topic. He is clearly making fun of the authorities and the existing social system. An example is his striking quote: "The thief is not the one who steals, but the one who is caught." Here we see a clear “stone” in the direction of the corrupt authorities, launched incredibly sharp and subtle, exactly in the unique style of the Show.
Famous Quotes by Antoine de Saint Exupery
The great writer and philosopher was not only a genius of thought, but also an excellent military pilot, who visited the front and knew firsthand the horrors of war. Saint-Exupery was an ardent admirer of action people, personalities, constantly working on themselves and reaching ever new heights. He himself was such a person, which eloquently speaks of his interesting statements about life.
Saint-Exupery has always advocated personal growth, as evidenced by one of his most famous quotes: "You are looking for meaning in life, but its only meaning is that you finally come true." All the famous philosophers sooner or later came to the conclusion that, in fact, no meaning of life exists, we ourselves must decide for what to live and what to achieve. According to Saint-Exupery, the meaning of life is to realize a person as a person, and it’s not even about a career and profession, but about a person … A person must find himself, his vocation and faith, only then he becomes truly happy …
