Quotations
Life
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.

The closer we come to death, the more important becomes this single indispensable thing called life.

The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
-Epicurus
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
You must always believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.
-Rebecca West
"The Fountain Overflows"
This isn't life in the fast lane. It's life in the oncoming traffic.
-Terry Pratchett
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
