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
Quotations
Life
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.
-Martha Graham

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
-Oscar Wilde
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
-Deep Trivedi
There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval.
-George Santayana
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
-Lauryn Hill
