Quotations
Life
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
-Margaret Mitchell
Not being dead isn't being alive.
-E. E. Cummings
Believing life to be of 60 years, we live our entire life considering it to be "One"
unit. This is the reason, why memories of the past and fear of the future keep
haunting us. Whereas in reality, life is the culmination of billions of moments put
together. Hence, each moment - a new moment. And when each moment is a
new moment... then which past and whose future?
-Deep Trivedi
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.
-Jonathan Safran Foer
"Everything is Illuminated"
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
-William Shakespeare
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.
-John Irving
