    The quote I chose for Siddhartha Gautama is “A wise man‚ recognizing that the world is but an illusion‚ does not act as if it is real‚ so he escapes the suffering.” I chose this quote for him because he was born to a mother who was part of the tribal ancestry and a father who was a wealthy king. He had the means to live a life of luxury; however he instead devoted his life to understanding balance and suffering. Though he didn’t have to live the effects of the suffering of humans‚ he always set

    Memorable Quotes: A significant quote which was told as a lesson to Santiago by Melchizedek is‚ "It’s this: that at a certain point in our lives‚ we lose control of what’s happening to us‚ and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie"(Coelho 18). This is important because fate doesn’t control one’s life but rather it’s there for us to reach it‚ people feel overwhelmed but always have control and the opportunity to change. Another significant quote would be Santiago’s thoughts

    control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end. The quote "a little water clears us of this deed" is a simple statement made by Lady Macbeth which becomes ironic as the play progresses because the metaphorical "clear water" of truth which she speaks of is never used by either her or Macbeth. Lady Macbeth

    In the play OEDIPUS THE KING BY SOPHOCLES‚ Oedipus is almost dependent on his brother in-law and fellow ruler Creon. “O King Apollo!

    Quotation Assignment 1. “We must strive to be like the moon.” An old man in Kabati said on page 16.
