I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
--Gilda Radner
The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.

On Being Saved
Reinhold Niebuhr
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime;
therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone, therefore we must be saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint; therefore we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.

zindagi se mulaqat kaisi rahi?
zindagi se mulaqat kaisi rahi?
daman main bikhre phulo si rahi,
unko chunte samay kanton si rahi,
phir bahte lahu ko thamte hatho se rahi,
badalte hatho ke anjane jazbato si rahi.
zindagi se mulaqat kaisi rahi?
suraj ke bikhre sone si rahi,
uski nirakarta samete badalo si rahi,
phir badalo se bikhri rimjhim si rahi,
rimjhim me mitti ki sondhi kushbu si rahi.
na jane zindagi se mulaqat kaisi rahi...

Bush to 2005 grads: Get involved
"Someday you will appreciate the grammar and verbal skills you learn here," he deadpanned to laughter from the audience. "And if any of you wonder how far a mastery of the English language can take you, just look what it did for me."
