Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.
-Kahlil Gibran
Here at the most what you can become is, as your nature moulds you in the
process of life. Yes, in an effort to become something else, you can always get
ruined. So, as long as possible please do not try to tamper with your nature.
-Deep Trivedi
The harsh reality is that my flesh must die not so much because of what it does, but because of what it is.
-Kelly Minter
Any form of art is the manifestation of God. Whereas, in temples and churches
someone has just been instated in the name of God.
-Deep Trivedi
No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.
-Sri Chinmoy
When a poet speaks to his own people, the voices of all other poets of other languages who have influenced him are speaking also.
-T. S. Eliot
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.
-Candace Bushnell
Heaven deliver us, what's a poet? Something that can't go to bed without making a song about it.
-Dorothy L. Sayers
