Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.
-Alfred De Musset
In life, there is nothing that you can simply gain. Here, for every gain, you always
have to lose something. Hence, the people who are apprehensive of losing in
every small matter...can never gain something big.
-Deep Trivedi
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me - deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realised only by the wise.
-Gautama Buddha
