Life
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.

"Eleven Minutes"
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
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.

"Everything is Illuminated"
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"
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
-Søren Kierkegaard
