“Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.”

“John: ‘Have mercy. I don’t want to die!’Sita: ‘Then you should never have been born.”

“No religion is perfect, not after man gets through with it.”

“He cries. ‘Please! I don’t want to die.’I lean over. My hair smothers him.’Then you should never have been born,’ I say.”

“Before I begin, may I ask how old you are?””You may ask.””How old are you?””It’s none of your business”

“You will see that the things you desire most are the very things that bring you the greatest sorrow.”

“The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference.”
