"There is no bigger gratification than the realization of the things you believe in after overcoming all the odds."

"In your selflessness pursuit of things higher than yourself, you appear selfish or inconsiderate to those who truly love you and who have cared deeply about you from the first day you came into their lives."

"Avoid people who hurt from an impulse. I mean people who have this tendency to relish their capacity to hurt the good souls of this world, and who after hurting, wake up the next day without a trace of despondent brooding, and then move on with life never thinking that they should show some remorse or try to repent."

"Life is full of intriguing souls that you cannot penetrate… An uncomfortable percentage of those anguished and impregnable souls also have suffering hearts that are further tormented by a deluded mind. They will hurt out of an impulse, and then live their lives after that without the slightest remorse."

"In dealing with others, man is inherently a slave to his preconceptions, to the stereotypes he became familiar with that made life easier for him to comprehend."

"Most people have this tendency to make judgments on others based on preconceptions, especially when they are dealing with them for the first time."

"We, humans, have come up with so many superficialities that are completely unnecessary for our existence and happiness on earth."

"Judgments based on preconceptions make life simple for us to deal with since that means we safely shield ourselves behind barriers of preconception that helped us feel safe in whatever views or assumptions we are having."

"In today’s world, human desires far supersede human needs. Waste, as you can see, is the result of that disparity."

"…a writer, like most artists, needs a partner who can act as the fuel to his artistic mind and soul, yet has the great ability to sober him up and help him be in sync with the non-artistic part of his soul."

"In the world of today, human desires far supersede human needs. Waste, as you can see, is the result of all of those contradictions. That is how we ended up complicating our world."

"Societies and people that come close to being happy are those that do well in narrowing the disparity between their desires and their needs, especially the material things of life."

"When somebody you love dies, a phase of life’s innocence dies with that person, and a part of you dies as well."

"We always emerge from the death of a loved one like a phoenix arising from its funeral pyre."

"Writers are the most pathetic souls when it comes to expressing their personal feelings. Their personalities are as complex as the characters they have weaved. And in a curious way, without them really knowing it, writers are the sum total of the characters they created in their heads or in their writings. Yes, My Dear Tania; writers are capable of reflecting their characters, even though most of them are determined to be just like your ordinary guy next door."

"A writer needs a partner who can act as fuel to his artistic mind, yet has the great ability to sober him up and help him be in sync with the non-artistic part of his soul."

"Male writers who never find the stabilizing force of an understanding woman in their lives usually end up as the jaded figures of their days, the types who give much artistic expression to the world, but who are lonely in their overcrowded worlds of love."

"When singers, actors or artists touch on sorrow, they are trying to give comfort to aggrieved souls by giving some meaning to their sorrows. The job of the singer, actor or artists ,in general, is to make us comfortable with our feelings or emotions―be it pain, hurt, anger, hatred, sadness, pleasure, love, cheerfulness or joy."

"Writers are the most tormented of all the different categories of artists that are out there in the world."

"Writers understand the world better, but they lack the strength to change it. Perhaps that is so because they understand their limitations more than others."
