“Putting your time in at the office; dutifully spawning your two point five; smiling politely at your retirement party; then chewing on your bedsheet and choking on your canned peaches at the nursing home. It was better never to have been born-never to have wanted anything, never to have hoped for anything.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“if you fight with all your might,  there is a chance of life; where as death is certain if you cling to your corner”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Disappointment comes from Expectation
Expectation comes from intimacy
Intimacy comes from common interest
And common interest comes from friendship

So to nurture friendship, abandon expectation”
― Uma Shanker
