Quote by Sukant Ratnakar

“Prestige, status, reputation…are all fears of the affluent. A rich man can do anything to protect his prestige. He can buy the world’s most expensive car to bolster his status. Fear certainly sells and it sells on a premium.”

“To love a woman, the mate must also love her untamed nature. If she takes a mate who cannot or will not love this other side, she shall surely in some way be dismantled and be left to limp about un­repaired. So men, as much as women, must name their dual natures. The most valued lover, the most valuable parent, the most valued friend, the most valuable “wilderman,” is the one who wishes to learn. Those who are not delighted by learning, those who cannot be enticed into new ideas or experiences, cannot develop past the road post they rest at now. If there is but one force which feeds the root of pain, it is the refusal to learn beyond this moment.”

“In the awakening stillness of the morning, I have space to ponder what this day could be. And in the advancing solitude of the evening, I have a similar space to reflect on what it was. And it is within the precious handful of hours precariously held between these two points of time that I will determine how I will close out this day and ponder the next.”

“The sun is an arrogant thing, always leaving the world behind when it tires of us. The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Everyday it's a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
