Quotations
Life
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we
can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.
-Deep Trivedi
Life's as kind as you let it be.
-Charles Bukowski
"Hot Water Music"
You must always believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.
-Rebecca West
"The Fountain Overflows"
Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Life has become immeasurably better since I have stopped taking it seriously.

Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-Deep Trivedi
It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
