-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Life
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
"Holes"
This is how the entire course of a life can be changed : By doing nothing.

"On Chesil Beach"
One doesn’t recognize the really important moments in one’s life until it’s too late.

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.

-Hunter S. Thompson
Rise to the occasion which is life!
