"It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it."

"So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can't prove the question either way, which story do you prefer? Which is the better story, the story with animals or the story without animals?"

Storytelling

Yann Martel
"I challenge anyone to understand Islam, its spirit, and not to love it. It is a beautiful religion of brotherhood and devotion."

Appreciation

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it."

Acceptance

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"The obsession with putting ourselves at the centre of everything is the bane not only of theologians but also of zoologists."

Humanity

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"These people walk by a widow deformed by leprosy...walk by children dressed in rags living in the street, and they think, 'Business as usual.' But if they perceive a slight against God, it is a different story. Their faces go red, their chests heave mightily, they sputter angry words. The degree of their indignation is astonishing. Their resolve is frightening."

Social

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart. Meanwhile, the lot of widows and homeless children is very hard, and it is to their defense, not God's, that the self-righteous should rush."

Ethics

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"Henry had written a novel because there was a hole in him that needed filling, a question that needed answering, a patch of canvas that needed painting-that blend of anxiety, curiosity and joy that is at the origin of art-and he had filled the hole, answered the question, splashed colour on the canvas, all done for himself, because he had to. Then complete strangers told him that his book had filled a hole in them, had answered a question, had brought colour to their lives. The comfort of strangers, be it a smile, a pat on the shoulder or a word of praise, is truly a comfort."

Creativity

Yann Martel
"You might think I lost all hope at that point. I did. And as a result I perked up and felt much better."

Hope

Quote_1.png
Yann Martel
"A house is a compressed territory where our basic needs can be fulfilled close by and safely."

Home

Yann Martel
"Trees were not hard, irritable things, but discreetly orgasmic beings moaning at a level too deep for our brutish ears. And flowers were quick explosive orgasms, like making love in the shower."
