Philosophy Quote by Muriel Barbery — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“So if there is something on the planet that is worth living for, I'd better not miss it, because once you're dead, it's too late for regrets, and if you die by mistake, that is really, really dumb.”

“To be poor, ugly and, moreover, intelligent condemns one in our society to a dark and disillusioned life...to beauty all is forgiven.”

“...beauty consists of its own passing, just as we reach for it. It's the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you can see both their beauty and their death.”

“When we move, we are in a way de-structured by our movement”

“I am going to die, but that is of no importance.”

“Because beauty consits of it's own passing, just as we reach for it. It's the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you can see both their movement and their death.”

“Want less, live more”

“Everyone is trying to impress everyone else. Trying to make themselves out to be smarter or more confident than they actually are.”

“Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.”

“A text is not a text unless it hides from the first comer, from the first glance, the law of its composition and the rules of its game. A text remains, moreover, forever imperceptible. Its laws and rules are not, however, harbored in the inaccessibility of a secret; it is simply that they can never be booked, in the present, into anything that could rigorously be called a perception.”

“The rEaL wOrLd is but a fictional place where those who have narrow minds and shallow imagination compile their oppressive ideas of what rEaLiTy only should be.”

“Each sunrise brings a new day filled with new hopes for a new beginning.”
