i hav promised myself yet again tht i will be a regular blogger...
but this is one promise i hav not been able to honor... but the promise saga continues..
ok.. back to bloggin...
i luv quotes.... ne witty retort impresses me...
i used to hav a gud collection of the quotes i had come across...frm the books i read, newspaper, conversation and evn i subscribed to quite a few quote sites too...
these days i hav started browsin thru wikipedia very often... thts one place u get info abt everythin.. i don't vouch for it.. nonetheless it gives u whtevr info u need ... i agree there are some doubts regardin its authenticity.. but thts the last thing tht bothers me....
while generally browsin thru wikipedia... i came across the Richard Bach page...
came across his quotes... i tell u i hav come across lots of them.. but his is a class apart...
i luv the quotes because it helps u to stop and contemplate on things.. gives u a different perspective to think about... eventually one feels it shuld be obvious...
my favorite quote from his collection is...

I used to think that the purpose of language was to communicate. That if we were clear enough and careful enough, we could make anyone understand anything we write, make them see anything we see. Not so, I found.
The only people who can understand us are the ones who already know what we want to tell them, and then the best of our writing can merely remind, can simply whisper, "I know that, too."
Have you ever wondered why some readers love a book and others just don't get it? I'll tell you why (but you'll understand only if you already know)
------>gud isn't it...
one of my good friend culdn't get thru an interview... she was down in depression.. she was not the rite fit for the profile.. she felt bad because she failed in the interview.. and she culdn't digest the fact....
That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.

even i am a big time fan of richard bach's quotes...one of my all time fav is...
"Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long. "
Profound isnt it!!
