A quotation does nothing productive. But it can make you really, really famous.

"I have seen God. He bats at opening slot for India"
- Mathew Hayden

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you. Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness. A phrase as simple as 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Taken from an article on iDiva titled 'Since the day you were born':-
"Sometimes we forget that we have had no hand in our birth, we were brought to this life without our consent or knowledge. Our actual birth day was possibly very special and happy for our hopeful parents. But today, XX years later, unless you have turned out to be the genius the world has been waiting for, there is no pressing reason to celebrate the beginning of your life."
