"And what is the life of this world but mere play and chattels of deception" Some quotes: "I don't know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." -- Isaac Newton. " Let me not seem to have lived in vain...Let me not seem to have lived in vain... " -- Tycho Brahe - The peerless observer of the skies - on his deathbed. Wishful thinking: Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. -- Socrates All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live. -- Mark Twain After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. -- J.K. Rowling Ab to ghabrakar kehte hain ke mar jaenge . . .
