More quotes by Yann Martel
Don’t worry about being good…. Aspire to be authentic.
Yann Martel
Can there be any happiness greater than the happiness of salvation?
Yann Martel
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you've defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.
Yann Martel
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
Fiction and nonfiction are not so easily divided. Fiction may not be real, but it's true it goes beyond the garland of facts to get to emotional and psychological truths.
Yann Martel
Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love - but sometimes it was so hard to love.
Yann Martel

Yann Martel
Artists invent things as a way of telling the truth.
Yann Martel
In a movie, you need good actors, whereas in a book, you don't, unless you have a really bad imagination. In a book, your imagination will do the acting for you. Also, the process of revelation is often different. Tension is achieved in a different way.
Yann Martel
science can only take you so far and then you have to leap
Yann Martel

Yann Martel
How true is that necessity is the mother of invention, how very true.
Yann Martel

Yann Martel
Life will defend itself no matter how small it is.
Yann Martel
My gratitude to him is as boundless as the Pacific ocean.
Yann Martel
Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love—but sometimes it was so hard to love. Sometimes my heart was sinking so fast with anger, desolation and weariness, I was afraid it would sink to the very bottom of the Pacific and I would not be able to lift it back up.
Yann Martel
The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar.
Yann Martel
You bring joy and pain in equal measure. Joy because you are with me, but pain because it wont be for long.
Yann Martel
