A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
- W. H. Auden
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
- Deep Trivedi
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.
- Alan Wilson Watts
Life is only the present. Here, the moment once gone, is gone forever. It can
never come back. At the same time, no moment of future arrives with prior
intimation. Hence, this travel back and forth in the past and future, is nothing but
the manifestation of our fears. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
- Deep Trivedi
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
- Khalil Gibran
In brief, the function of knowledge is to make one experience freely available in other experiences.
- John Dewey
There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen to write.
- William Makepeace Thackeray
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
- Deep Trivedi
