But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-Deep Trivedi

The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
-Plato

-Scriptures "The Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism"
Who says life is fair, where is that written?
-William Goldman
"The Princess Bride"
Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
-Henry Miller
