― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Friendship is selfless love, care, respect, and honor not a profitable opportunity.”
― Santosh Kalwar

“When we treat people merely as they are, they will remain as they are. When we treat them as if they were what they should be, they will become what they should be.”
