If you care about something you have to protect it – If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

Quotations
Life
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
The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
-Anonymous "Perfect Liberty Kyodan"
Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
-Quran "Quran 6.162"
One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
-Anaïs Nin
Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.

If you wish to make your life meaningful; every morning spend ten minutes in
solitude and think about making today a fruitful day, and before going to bed
at night, rewind the day for five minutes and think whether or not the day was
wasted. And then, see what you will soon transform into.
-Deep Trivedi
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
-Scriptures "The Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism"
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
-Alfred Adler
