If you care about something you have to protect it – If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

Quotations
Life
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.
-Samuel Dickey Gordon "S. D. Gordon"
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"
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The Sirens of Titan"
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"White Nights"
You can get all A's and still flunk life.
-Walker Percy
"The Second Coming"
Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?
-Bob Marley
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
