One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
Some relationships are like Tom and Jerry. They tease each other, knock down each other, irritate each other, but can’t live without each other.
If you really wish to strengthen your individuality and accomplish something
great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
-Deep Trivedi
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
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
-Henry David Thoreau
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.
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.

"The Art of Racing in the Rain"
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"
The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
-Plato
It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
