"..Can fulfilment be felt as deeply as loss ? Romantically she decided that love must surely reside in the gap between desire and fulfilment, in the lack, not the contentment. Love was the ache, the anticipation, the retreat, everything around it but the emotion itself..."

~The Inheritance of Loss(Kiran Desai)

"Mathematics , rightly viewed, possesses not only truth , but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere , like that of a sculpture , without appeal to any part of our weaker nature , without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music , yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest can show."

~Bertrand Russel
