Quotations
Life
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
-Margaret Mitchell
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;

from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
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
