“…saving ourselves sometimes means hurting others, even if only in small ways, even if only temporarily. It’s mercy math: there’s a cost, but we count, too.”

“As the saying goes, 'People do not stay in favor a thousand days; flowers do not stay in bloom a hundred days.' Nobody can count on being happy and prosperous a whole lifetime.”

“No matter how talented and successful you are, you have to go through what you have to go through. So learn to accept pain and be happy despite the circumstances. Be happy with what you have. Also, learn to appreciate the impermanence of everything: Of Life itself surely. Also, of name, fame, wealth, success and glory. And of failure too. Focus instead on what you love doing and do it very, very well. Simply, if you create great, unputdownable work, both you and your work will be remembered. Forever.”
― Vaani Anand and AVIS Viswanathan
