George Meredith Quotes

To live is to feel oneself lost.

If we knew the meaning to everything that is happening to us, then there would be no meaning.

Life is a question without a standard answer.

The most interesting thing in the world is another human being who wonders, suffers and raises the questions that have bothered him to the last day of his life, knowing he will never get the answers.

Now you watch the parades and processions of hopeful and despairing people walking outside your tomb. They are all looking for the answer to the problem you know so well.

I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way. Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.
