What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?

Quotations
Nature
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature
are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Ravana's
Lanka but "Krishna's" Dwarka also sinks.
-Deep Trivedi
I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.
-Pete Hamill
If you are dissatisfied or unhappy with any of your act or thinking, then too don't
try to change it, you will fail miserably. Transform your nature, your action and
thinking will change by themselves.
-Deep Trivedi
Here at the most what you can become is, as your nature moulds you in the
process of life. Yes, in an effort to become something else, you can always get
ruined. So, as long as possible please do not try to tamper with your nature.
-Deep Trivedi
Just as rivers flow from east and west to merge with the one sea, forgetting that they were ever separate rivers, so all beings lose their separateness when they eventually merge into pure Being.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad"
Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.
-Vladimir Nabokov
Men argue. Nature acts.
-Voltaire
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
-Michael Pollan
