“You are only entitled to the action, never to its fruits.”
― Bhagavad Gita

“The Greeks had a word, xenia—guest friendship—a command to take care of traveling strangers, to open your door to whoever is out there, because anyone passing by, far from home, might be God. Ovid tells the story of two immortals who came to Earth in disguise to cleanse the sickened world. No one would let them in but one old couple, Baucis and Philemon. And their reward for opening their door to strangers was to live on after death as trees—an oak and a linden—huge and gracious and intertwined. What we care for, we will grow to resemble. And what we resemble will hold us, when we are us no longer. . . .”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Between giving up and holding on
Between initiation and rejection
Between the saids and unsaids
Between the understood and miss-understood
Between Life's priorities
We lost each other.”
― Wordions

“Women are no sheep. Women are no fragile showpiece to be placed above the fire-place. Women of the thinking society are the builders of nations. Women of the sentient society are the builders of the world.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Bengal Tigress: A Treatise on Gender Equality
