[Life of Pi], pt. 3

"If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for? Isn't love hard to believe?" (297)

"Nothing beats reason for keeping tigers away. But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater" (298).

"In understanding something, we bring something to it, no? Doesn't that make life a story?" (302)

"I know what you want. You want a story that won't surprise you. That will confirm what you already know. That won't make you see higher or further or differently. You want a flat story. An immobile story. You want dry, yeastless factuality" (302).
