“science can only take you so far and then you have to leap”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar. It was natural that, bereft and desperate as I was, in the throes of unremitting suffering. I should turn to God”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“My feelings can perhaps be imagined, but they can hardly be described.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“I wept heartily over this poor little deceased soul. It was the first sentient being I had ever killed. I was now a killer. I was now as guilty as Cain. I was sixteen years old, a harmless boy, bookish and religious, and now I had blood on my hands. It's a terrible burden to carry. All sentient life is sacred.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi
