श्रीलाल शुक्ल [Shrilal Shukla]
“लेक्चर का मज़ा तो तब है जब सुननेवाले भी समझें कि यह बकवास कर रहा है और बोलनेवाला भी समझे कि मैं बकवास कर रहा हूँ।”
― Shrilal Shukla, राग दरबारी

“Attention is the beginning of devotion.”
― Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh
“विचार आते हैं
लिखते समय नहीं
बोझ ढोते वक़्त पीठ पर
सिर पर उठाते समय भार
परिश्रम करते समय
चांद उगता है व
पानी में झलमलाने लगता है
हृदय के पानी में

विचार आते हैं
लिखते समय नहीं
...पत्थर ढोते वक़्त
पीठ पर उठाते वक़्त बोझ
साँप मारते समय पिछवाड़े
बच्चों की नेकर फचीटते वक़्त

पत्थर पहाड़ बन जाते हैं
नक्शे बनते हैं भौगोलिक
पीठ कच्छप बन जाती है
समय पृथ्वी बन जाता है...”
― Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh

“You sometimes think you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found.”
― Kid Cudi

Epictetus
“Never depend on the admiration of others. There is no strength in it. Personal merit cannot be derived from an external source. It is not to be found in your personal associations, nor can it be found in the regard of other people. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you, or share your enthusiasms. Grow up! Who cares what other people think about you!”
― Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness
