Mahatma Gandhi

Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.

Jorge Luis Borges

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

I love what I do and I think it shows. As my kids get older, they can see me as a mom who loves working.

Jessica Capshaw

Paulo Coelho

Love is the biggest mystery of the universe. But why try to solve it, when one simply view it for what it is and marvel at the wonders and strangeness it brings?

Albert Einstein

Painful for a person is rebellious independence, only in loving companionship with his associates does a person feel safe: Only in reverently bowing down before the higher does a person feel exalted.

Thomas Carlyle

On long haul flights I always drink loads and loads of water and eat light and healthy food.
