By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote.

Background for the above quote: Koenraad Elst writes that Golwalkar was neither a Nazi nor an anti-semite, and did not endorse the holocaust, merely called attention to it. The quote by Golwalkar has been taken out of context through the deliberate use of quote mining as part of far-left and Islamist propaganda in the discourse of Anti-Hinduism prevalent in India. In fact, Elst demonstrates that Golwalkar was a champion of Zionism and supported the Jewish state of Israel.

In many cases one and the same thing is attracted by two strong forces, namely Necessity and Potency. Water falls in rain; the earth absorbs it from the necessity for moisture; and the sun evaporates it, not from necessity, but by its power.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. (This quote is from Notebook IV in Notebooks: 1942-1951, not Myth of Sisyphus. The quote appears in none of Camus books you find in bookstores.)
Albert Camus
I was trained as an actress, but as much as I love that work when I can get it, it is not my acting work for which I’m generally known. It is not my chosen career path that ultimately defines me, but rather an unfamiliar, unexpected path that has presented itself. To quote another group from my youth, “what a long, strange trip it’s been,” and I won’t have it any other way.
Life continues to surprise and delight me, even when I think I know what I want from it. I knew I wanted to be a mother, for example, but, and I’m sure your parents can relate to this, I had no idea how much fun I would have nor how much I would learn about life and myself from my child and stepchildren.Dana Reeve
The mathematician may be compared to a designer of garments, who is utterly oblivious of the creatures whom his garments may fit. To be sure, his art originated in the necessity for clothing such creatures, but this was long ago; to this day a shape will occasionally appear which will fit into the garment as if the garment had been made for it. Then there is no end of surprise and delight.
