“And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.”

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“माझा देवावर विश्वास नाही. माझा धर्मावर विश्वास नाही. पण देव आणि धर्म यावर विश्वास असणारे लाखो लोक माझ्या भोवती आहेत त्यांच्या पासून तुटून पडण्यावारही माझा विश्वास नाही. त्यांना माझ्या बरोबर खेचून नेण्यासाठी आवश्यक असणारी व्यवहारातील तडजोड करण्यास मी तयार आहे. विचारात मात्र करणार नाही. याच कारण अस आहे की विचार हे तुम्हाला कोणीकडे जायचं आहे याची दिशा दाखवणारे असतात आणि व्यवहार तिथपर्यंत तुम्हाला टप्या टप्याने खेचून नेण्यासाठी असतो.”
― Narhar Kurundkar (नरहर कुरुंदकर)
