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
Quotations
Life
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
-Søren Kierkegaard
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
-Nelson Mandela "Nelson Mandela"
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
You can get all A's and still flunk life.
-Walker Percy
"The Second Coming"
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
"The Truth About Forever"
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
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
-Douglas Coupland
"Shampoo Planet"
Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.
-Eric Idle
