Quotations
Life
There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval.
-George Santayana
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
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen

-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
