Wisdom Quote by Yasmina Khadra — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.”

“Get a grip on yourself. there's only one god here on earth, and that's you. If you don't like the world, make one you like better.”

“Always jump to collusions.”

“We are only as strong as we are there for one another.”

“Love is the insurrection of the body; it is the circumcision of modesty, the assassination of dogma, the rebirth of Moksha.”

“Some words are seeds. They are meant to grow with time.”

“If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.”

“Objects possess no charm or ugliness of their own; it is the person we are with that either turns a desert into a garden or makes the finest day feel dull.”
