Vera Brittain
“There is an abiding beauty which may be appreciated by those who will see things as they are and who will ask for no reward except to see.”
Vera Brittain

Gurcharan Das
“Despite the many occasions when its characters feel frustrated before the weight of circumstances, and despite blaming their feeling of impotence on daiva, 'fate', moral autonomy shines through in the epic. Because they have some freedom to choose they can be praised when they follow dharma or blamed when they follow adharma. At the moment of making a decision they become conscious of their freedom, and it is this perception of autonomy that gives them the ability to lead authentic moral lives.”
Gurcharan Das, The Difficulty of Being Good: On the Subtle Art of Dharma

Sanjo Jendayi
“When going through or coming out of a rough patch in life, it's important not to focus on those who did not show up for you.

Be appreciative of those who rolled up their sleeves and got dirty with you.”
Sanjo Jendayi

Gurcharan Das
“By deceiving Drona, Yudhishthira corrupts his teacher's relationship with the world. So do we every time we lie - we corrupt the 'other' in the same way.”
Gurcharan Das, The Difficulty of Being Good: On the Subtle Art of Dharma

Gurcharan Das
“Dharma is precisely this 'discipline of ordered existence', a 'belief system that restrains and gives coherence to desires.”
Gurcharan Das
