“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.”
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
but before you start pointing fingers…
make sure your hands are clean!”
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living
