To sum it up

It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or whether the doer of the deed could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly,who errs and often comes short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end knows the triumph of higher treatment and higher achievement, and who if at worst, fails, he fails while daring greatly, so that his soul shall never be counted amongst those timid and coward ones, which know neither victory nor defeat.

From the Lonewolf's diary

Pilani is a buzzing place, which at times looks alien to me. Here I am, removed from my world, in a place that weighs me down in its intricacy, amongst people whose doings are as incomprehensible to me as mechanics. But the sad truth is that I can’t run away from both of them. The whole, busy, unheeding life of a metropolis campus casts me into a horrible gloom of isolation. I was never like the regular BITsian, and frankly I’d never want to be like one. There is one part of me which doesn’t comply by the temperament of things around me. It’s that all-consuming thought with a feeble voice. And however hard I try, it doesn’t get subdued. Call it a conflict between my reality and my conscience. I can’t let either of them win over the other. And the saga continues. I am what I am, nothing else matters. *** Everyone's so full of shit ...

The Quote that touched. Again.
