Quotations
Life
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
-Scriptures "Avesta, Yasna 32.9"
If there's a thing I've learned in my life, it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for, don't.
-Cassandra Clare
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
-Mae West
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.

Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?
