"Everything is Illuminated"
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.
-William Goldman

There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind...
-Mitch Albom

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
-Katharine Hepburn
"Me: Stories of My Life"
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
