I keep going back to "Shantaram" to recollect many meaningful quotes.

'You're a good listener. That's dangerous, because it's so hard to resist. Being listened to - really listened to - is the second-best thing in the world.'

'What's the first-best thing?'

'Everybody knows that. The best thing in the world is power.'

'Oh is it?" I asked laughing. "What about sex?'

'No, apart from biology, sex is all about power. That's why it's such a rush.'

I laughed again.

'And what about love? A lot of people say love is the best thing in the world, not power.'

'They're wrong,' she said with a terse finality. 'Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.'

Happiness is a myth. It was invented to make us buy new things

A dream is a place where a wish and a fear meet. When the wish and fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.

  1. Nice Quotes especially this one:
    The real trick in life is to want nothing, and to succeed in getting it.
    I had read one on the similar line's:
    My goal in life is to be a failure, If I achieve my goal i have succeeded. If I don't I have still succeeded.
