To me the Mahabharata is a profoundly religious book, largely allegorical, in a way meant to be a historical record.

Where there is love there is life.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

True beauty lies in purity of the heart.

The future depends on what you do today.

Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.

The hospital bulked darkly in the darkness.

Eternally the embers glow masterfully fueled by lovers passion.

Get with it, or get left behind.

The real gift of today is somehow finding the me I knew ought to exist but has not.

It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.

The trouble with class reunions is that old flames have become even older.

I try to get to know the actors as much as I can. I feel like I'm friends with them for starters and for a week or two, we rehearse when they're getting the costumes together.

To become fully alive a person must have goals and aims that transcend himself.

Pain and happiness are simply conditions of the ego. Forget the ego.

If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.
