“To keep your conscience at peace and your respect at high, don't follow those orders which make no sense.”
― Amit Kalantri

“Diversity of character is due to the unequal time given to values. Only through each other will we see the importance of the qualities we lack and our unfinished soul's potential.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt. There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys, or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work. This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so; for the chair may have been left by a laughing child or the last notes of the piano may have been raucous and gay. Whatever the mood or the circumstance, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows. It is a soundless echo.”
― Beryl Markham, West with the Night

“Ghar mein tha kya jo tera gham usay gharat karta? Woh jo hum rakhte the ik hasrat-e tamir, so hai." "What did we have at our home that your sorrow could wreck? All we had was a desire to create, and that is still there.”
― Gulzar, Mirza Ghalib
