How much suffering and fear, and how many harmful things are in existence? If all arises from clinging to the “I”, what should I do with this great demon?
- Shantideva
There's no need to wait for the bad things and bullshit to be over. Change now. Love now. Live now. Don't wait for people to give you permission to live, because they won't.
- Kris Carr
Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the centre and everything coming out equal. Even if you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.
- Barbara Kingsolver
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.

I have wanted only one thing to make me happy. That thing is everything.
- Sebastian Horsley
In nature, there are only two focal points of energy; one, 'anger' and second,
'love'. But unfortunately, Science simply does not know how to view from the
perspective of Psychology. Here the energy is created either by the friction of
two things i.e. 'anger' or by the union of two things i.e. 'love'.
- Deep Trivedi

In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
- Deep Trivedi
Most so-called writers keep writing and writing with the hope to, some day, find something to say.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
