Albert Camus (to René Char) II "The older I get, the
more I find that you can only live with beings who
liberate you, and who love you with an affection that
is as light to bear as it is strong to feel... This is how I
am your friend, I love your happiness, your freedom,
your adventure...and I would like to be for you the
companion you are sure of, always."

Premi dhundna mai firu premi mile na koye.
Premi so premi mile vish se Amrit hoye.
Here Kabir said I went in search for love around the world but I didn't find any. But when I met the right person even the poision became Elixir.

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”

“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”

“Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”
