Ratish’s Quotes

“I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.”

“One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“remember that a gift is never deserved; if it were deserved it would be a payment. Do we wish to pay our family and friends? Of course not—so just give happily, and be happy when you too receive a gift you do not deserve.”
― Franz Metcalf, What Would Buddha Do?: 101 Answers to Life's Daily Dilemmas

“Boredom lies in our character, not in the world. “If you’re bored,” I’ve heard it said, “you’re boring.” Think about this. When you’re bored, you tend to bore others. Conversely, when you’re bored, it is because you are boring: you are the one who engages in the act of boring. It’s not the world that is boring you, it is you who are boring the world.”
