-Henry David Thoreau "Henry David Thoreau"
Who says life is fair, where is that written?

"The Princess Bride"
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.
-Alan Moore
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.

yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
-Deep Trivedi
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

"The Sirens of Titan"
Life’s a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.

the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
