“...for love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams. Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action, rapidly performed and in the sight of all... But active love is labor and fortitude, and for some people too, perhaps, a complete science.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“No civilized society can thrive upon victims whose humanity has been permanently mutilated”
― Rabindranath Tagore

“We live, he [Gandhi] felt, not in order to feed, clothe, shelter and pamper the body; we provide for the body in order to live. Life begins after the needs of the body have been met, yet how many people ruin life for the sake of rich living. The soul, alas, needs a temporary abode, but a clean mud hut will do as well as a palace, indeed better, for when the physical absorbs the lion's share of a man's effort the spirit languishes, life loses content, and discontent appears.”
― Louis Fischer, Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World

“A person may be smaller in success than in defeat; it depends on what he is trying to do”
