What does it matter where my body happens to be? My mind goes on working all the same. In fact, the more head downwards I am, the more I keep inventing new things.

Now, you’re either on the bus or off the bus. If you’re on the bus, and you get left behind, then you’ll find it again. If you’re off the bus in the first place – then it won’t make a damn.

My own character is of little consequence. It is the character of others which concerns me. I devote a great many hours of the study of it.
– Jane Austin and Seth Grahame-Smith, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

Many are lucky in love. And many are unlucky.
Don’t worry about that.
You will fall in and out of love.
Love is unreliable.
It has many disguises that confuse people.
Get confused. Get deceived.
But don’t get cynical about love.
It takes its time to find you.
It searches the universe, before it gets to you.
And when its true face stares you in the eye,
hug it and make it your friend.
Because love is a lifelong companion.
Not every one is lucky to have it.
– Swapan Seth, This Is All I Have To Say
See with your ears and hear with your eyes.

I beg your pardon; one knows exactly what to think.
– Jane Austin and Seth Grahame-Smith, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
