People move because of the wear and tear of anxiety. Because of the gnawing feeling that no matter how hard they work their efforts will yield nothing, that what they build up in one year will be torn down in one day by others. Because of the impression that the future is blocked up, that *they* might do all right but not their children. Because of the feeling that nothing will change, that happiness and prosperity are possible only somewhere else.
Yann MartelJust as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense.
Yann MartelIf you don't have dreams, how do you maneuver reality? Where do you get the ideas to change reality if not from dreams?
Yann MartelThere are always those who take it upon themselves to defend God... These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside.
