  • In all her twisted perfection she had made me fall helplessly in love with her. A life without her in it seemed pointless.

  • Every fall into love involves the triumph of hope over self-knowledge. We fall in love hoping we won't find in another what we know is in ourselves, all the cowardice, weakness, laziness, dishonesty, compromise, and stupidity. We throw a cordon of love around the chosen one and decide that everything within it will somehow be free of our faults. We locate inside another a perfection that eludes us within ourselves, and through our union with the beloved hope to maintain (against the evidence of all self-knowledge) a precarious faith in our species.

  • When confronted with a situation that appears fragmented or impossible, step back, close your eyes, and envision perfection where you saw brokenness. Go to the inner place where there is no problem, and abide in the consciousness of well-being.

  • The virtue of achievement is victory over oneself. Those who know this can never know defeat.

  • Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?.

  • Self - development should be a perpetual process. In life you are either growing or rotting. You're moving forward or backwards; there is no standing still.

  • I searched everywhere for a proof of reality, when all the while I understood quite well that the standard of reality had changed

  • moral, adj. Conforming to a local and mutable standard of right. Having the quality of general expediency.
