“Detachment is not giving up the things in this world, but accepting the fact and to be continuously aware that nothing is permanent.”
Aditya Ajmera

W. Somerset Maugham
“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.”
W. Somerset Maugham

Huang Po
“Consider the sunlight. You may see it is near, yet if you follow it from world to world you will never catch it in your hands. Then you may describe it as far away and, lo, you will see it just before your eyes. Follow it and, behold, it escapes you; run from it and it follows you close. You can neither possess it nor have done with it. From this example you can understand how it is with the true Nature of all things and, henceforth, there will be no need to grieve or to worry about such things.”
Huang Po, The Zen Teaching of Huang Po: On the Transmission of Mind

Sylvester Stallone
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”
Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa

Alan W. Watts
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
Alan Wilson Watts
