In my opinion it is the happy living, and not, as Antisthenes said, the happy lying, in which human happiness consists.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.

Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act.

Even swadeshi, like any other good thing, can be ridden to death if it is made a fetish.

Sometimes we are so busy putting everyone else first... we lose sight of who we really are and what we want.
