    Dan    Brown
    “Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this: when we as a species abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faiths… all faiths… are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable. With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control.”
    Dan Brown, Angels & Demons

    Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar'
    “दो न्याय अगर तो आधा दो,

    पर, इसमें भी यदि बाधा हो,
    तो दे दो केवल पाँच ग्राम,

    रक्खो अपनी धरती तमाम।
    हम वहीं खुशी से खायेंगे,

    परिजन पर असि न उठायेंगे!


    दुर्योधन वह भी दे ना सका,

    आशिष समाज की ले न सका,
    उलटे, हरि को बाँधने चला,

    जो था असाध्य, साधने चला।
    जन नाश मनुज पर छाता है,

    पहले विवेक मर जाता है।


    हरि ने भीषण हुंकार किया,

    अपना स्वरूप-विस्तार किया,
    डगमग-डगमग दिग्गज डोले,

    भगवान् कुपित होकर बोले-
    'जंजीर बढ़ा कर साध मुझे,

    हाँ, हाँ दुर्योधन! बाँध मुझे।


    यह देख, गगन मुझमें लय है,

    यह देख, पवन मुझमें लय है,
    मुझमें विलीन झंकार सकल,

    मुझमें लय है संसार सकल।
    अमरत्व फूलता है मुझमें,

    संहार झूलता है मुझमें।”
    Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, रश्मिरथी

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason.

    Marilyn Monroe

    “Creativity is closely associated with bipolar disorder. This condition is unique . Many famous historical figures and artists have had this. Yet they have led a full life and contributed so much to the society and world at large. See, you have a gift. People with bipolar disorder are very very sensitive. Much more than ordinary people. They are able to experience emotions in a very deep and intense way. It gives them a very different perspective of the world. It is not that they lose touch with reality. But the feelings of extreme intensity are manifested in creative things. They pour their emotions into either writing or whatever field they have chosen" (pg 181)”
    Preeti Shenoy, Life is What You Make It: A Story of Love, Hope and How Determination Can Overcome Even Destiny
