“धर्म समाज द्वारा निर्मित है। धर्म के नीतिशास्त्र को जन्म नहीं दिया है, वरन् इसके विपरीत नीतिशास्त्र ने धर्म को जन्म दिया है। समाज को जीवित रखने के लिए समाज द्वारा निर्धारित नियमों की ही नीतिशास्त्र कहते हैं, और इस नीतिशास्त्र का आधार तक है। धर्म का आधार विश्वास है और विश्वास के बन्धन से प्रत्येक मनुष्य को बाँधकर उससे अपने नियमों का पालन कराना ही समाज के लिए हितकर है। इसीलिए ऐसी भी परिस्थितियाँ आ सकती हैं, जब धर्म के विरुद्ध चलना समाज के लिए कल्याणकारक हो जाता है और धीरे-धीरे धर्म का रूप बदल जाता है।”

“Now it’s high watermark
and floodtide in the heart
and time to go.
The sea-nymphs in the spray
will be the chorus now.
What’s left to say?

Suspect too much sweet-talk
but never close your mind.
It was a fortunate wind
that blew me here. I leave
half-ready to believe
that a crippled trust might walk

and the half-true rhyme is love.”

― A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions

“Everything you blame, you’re stuck with. Bless it. Wish it well. Wish it its own freedom, and it will be very powerful in the way that it will not come back to you. If you don’t forgive it, if you don’t bless it, if you don’t wish it well, the energy will just be magnetically drawn back to you because it’s looking for resolution. All negative energy that we’ve inherited, it’s there because it’s looking for resolution.

“All people at root are time optimists. We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
