Quotations
Life
If there is any planning worth undertaking in human life it is, when one breathes
his last neither should he have any guilt nor dissatisfaction... Despite doing
everything desired, still if he has any kind of remorse or discontent while bidding
goodbye to this world...then what did he do all his life?
-Deep Trivedi
We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"

"Shampoo Planet"
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
