“Two or three years after the 1947 Partition, it occurred to the governments of India and Pakistan to exchange their lunatics in the same manner as they had exchanged their criminals. The Muslim lunatics in India were to be sent over to Pakistan and the Hindu and Sikh lunatics in Pakistan asylums were to be handed over to India. It was difficult to say whether the proposal made any sense or not.”

“Passengers on a bus: You’re driving a bus. Passengers (your thoughts) get on, and passengers get off. Some stay longer than others, but they all eventually leave the bus. Some smell; some yell; some even tell you you’re taking a wrong turn. And some smile and make your day. Either way, you know your route and it’s not up to you to do anything but keep driving the bus.”

“When you are in a peak, your ego makes you see things as better than they really are.
And in a valley, it makes you see things worse than they really are.
It makes you think a peak will last forever; and it makes you fear a valley will never end.
The most common reason you leave a peak too soon is arrogance, masquerading as confidence.
The most common reason you stay in a valley too long is fear. Masquerading as comfort.”
