Quotations
Life
Life, unfortunately, doesn't seem to care what we want.
-Richelle Mead
"Last Sacrifice"
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
-Vedas "Sam Veda"
Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.

"Kafka on the Shore"
It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Elizabeth Gilbert

The life we’re given is on a thread, so wear it well.
-Benny Bellamacina
"The king of Rhyme"
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
You ask: What is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: Do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
