-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human

-Deep Trivedi
People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.
-George Bernard Shaw

-Hunter S. Thompson
