“Flowers make themselves fragrant and offer nectar. Why? To nourish the bees or to get themselves pollinated? Or both? In nature, to get you have to give. There is no charity. There is no exploitation, neither selfishness nor selflessness. One grows by helping others grow. Is that not the perfect society?”
― Devdutt Pattanaik, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too much.”
― Ruskin Bond, A Book of Simple Living
