Quotations
Life
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
-Deep Trivedi

-Scriptures "Uttaradhyayana Sutra 10.34"
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.

then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.
-Deep Trivedi

-John Irving
"A Prayer for Owen Meany"
Life is life – Whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
