315because you are beautiful. i enjoy looking at beautiful people, and i decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence.
316become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
317becoming fearless isn't the point. that's impossible. it's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
318before i became old i tried to live well, now that i am old, i shall try to die well, but dying well means dying gladly.
319before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
320before you know it its 3 am and you're 80 years old and you can't remember what it was like to have 20 year old thoughts or a 10 year old heart.
321begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end, then stop.
322beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if he/she were going to be dead by midnight. extend to them all of the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. and do so with no thought of any reward. your life will never be the same again.

327being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
328being illiterate in the eighteenth century was like having a dial up connection in the twenty first. you're awash with information, but little reaches you, and what does takes a long time to download.
329being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me.

339book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. it is not a hobby. those who do it must do it.
340books are a uniquely portable magic.

350books are the quietest and most constant of friends, they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
351books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying, let's not forget this.
352books may well be the only true magic.

354books should go where they will be most appreciated, and not sit unread, gathering dust on a forgotten shelf, don't you agree.
355books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.

397creativity is just connecting things. when you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it. that's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
398creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
399criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.

409dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude.
410deadlines just aren't real to me until i'm staring one in the face.
411death ends a life, not a relationship.
412death is a natural part of life. rejoice for those around you who transform into the force.
413death is no more than passing from one room into another. but there's a difference for me, you know. because in that other room i shall be able to see.
414death is only the end if you assume the story is about you.
415death leaves cans of shaving cream half used.
416death must be so beautiful. to lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. to have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. to forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
417decide . whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. if it is, stop worrying.

423depression is living a body that tries to survive, with a mind that tries to die.
424depression is more seductive, its tool is, wouldn't it be way more comfortable to stay inside and not deal with people. grief is an attack on life. its not a seducer. its an ambush or worse. it stands right out there and says, the minute you try something, i'm waiting for you.

426despite all the accusations of videogames causing violence, not once has any gaming event, lead to a city being vandalized, rioted, looted or burned. but this is almost accepted as an event after many sports games, and yet they don't crusade against sports or it's fans.
427destroying things is much easier than making them.

515early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy but socially dead.
516early to rise, early to bed, makes a man healthy, but socially dead.

532enjoy it. because it's happening.

535entertainment is the only thing that distracts people from how much they don't like each other.
536envy is painful, but its a very helpful emotion for a happy life. its a giant red arrow sign standing over someones head saying, they've got something you want.

548every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
549every great love starts with a great story.
550every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. those who wish to sing always find a song. at the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

554every man has his fate. all that remains is how he chooses to meet it.

568everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
569everybody has a secret world inside of them. i mean everybody. all of the people in the whole world, i mean everybody no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. not just one world. hundreds of them. thousands, maybe.

572everybody wants something in their life, but we don't get what we want. we get what we have to have.
573everyone has talent. what's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.
574everyone has their own special sound they live with, though they seldom have the chance to actually hear it.
575everyone is in favor of free speech. hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.

577everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
578everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.
579everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, and recite three poems, in case they are ever trapped in an elevator.
580everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.
581everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
582everyone wants to fall in love. but i think more people are in love with the theory of love.
583everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help mom do the dishes.everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
584everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
585everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. the best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.
586everything comes too late for those who only wait.
587everything has been thought of before, but the difficulty is to think of it again.
588everything i've ever let go of has claw marks on it.
589everything in the world is about sex except sex. sex is about power.
590everything is energy.
591everything is possible. the impossible just takes longer.
592everything tells me that i am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. what does the world want of me. does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where i came from because i didn't have the courage to say yes to life.
593everything that happens changes something, nothing that happens changes nothing.
594everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
595everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. everything we see is a perspective, not a truth.
596everything you can imagine is real.
597everything you do now is for your future.
598expecting the world to treat you fairly because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to attack you because you're a vegetarian.
599experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. the difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. the successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. so far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this, doing what you know you should do.
600experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.
601experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him.
602experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
603experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
604experience proves this, or that, or nothing, according to the preconceptions we bring to it.
605experience teaches only the teachable.
606experts often possess more data than judgment.
607explore everything, exploit none.
608facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
609failure does not exist, these are only results.
610failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
611failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
612faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.
613faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
614faith which does not doubt is dead faith.
615faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
616fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
617fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
618fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. if a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape. if we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.
619fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. it's a way of understanding it.
620far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.
621fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.
622fate whispers to the man you cannot withstand the storm and the man whispers back i am the storm.
623fear cuts deeper than swords.
624fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up.
625fear not, though devil's iron makes this blade, only he who wields it can make it wicked.
626fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
627feel no sadness because of evil thoughts, it only strengthens them.
628feelings are really your guidance system for life. when your supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
629fettuccine alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults.
630few people think more than two or three times a year. i have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
631few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
632fiction is the truth inside the lie.
633fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. five hundred years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
634find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
635find what you love and let it kill you.
636finish each day and be done with it. you have done what you could do. some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day. you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
637fire is catching. and if we burn, you burn with us.
638first and second class arrive at the same time.
639first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
640first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.
641first they laugh, then they'll copy.
642first you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
643focus on what you can do right now, not what you can't do right now.
644focusing is about saying no.
645folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

647follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
648follow your inner moonlight, don't hide the madness.

651for last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
652for many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
653for me life is continuously being hungry. the meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
654for me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.
655for someone like me, it is a very strange habit to write in a diary. not only that i have never written before, but it strikes me that later neither i, nor anyone else, will care for the musings of a thirteen year old schoolgirl.
656for the first time in my life, i understood how someone could consciously decide to commit suicide. not because they were deranged, not because they were nuts, because they had been to the top of the mountain, and they just knew in their heart they would never get there again.
657for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, if today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today. and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, i know i need to change something.
658for the two of us, home isn't a place. it is a person. and we are finally home.
659for what its worth, its never too late to be whoever you want to be. i hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find you're not, i hope you have the strength to start over again.
660for you, a thousand times over.
661for you, i was a chapter, a good chapter maybe, or even your favorite chapter, but, still, just a chapter and for me, you were the book.
662for you, i was a chapter. for me, you were the book.

665forgive your enemies but never forget their names.
666forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before you learned it.
667forgiveness is not real unless it brings healing to your brother and yourself.
668forgiveness liberates the soul. it removes fear. that is why it is such a powerful weapon.
669free yourself from suffering and despair, and you will be victorious. do this for others, and you will be a hero.
670freedom discovers man the moment he looses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
671freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
672friend is someone you share last cookie with.
673friends are like stars, you may not always see them, but you always know they are there.
674friends have all things in common.
675friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief.
676friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
677friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, what. you too. i thought i was the only one.
678friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. it's not something you learn in school. but if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
679friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. it has no survival value, rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
680friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship never.
681friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
682friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. when friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we know.
683from the ages of 18 to 22, you meet a lot of temporary people.
684from the moment i picked up your book until i put it down, i was convulsed with laughter. some day i intend reading it.

696give your enemy a thousand chances to become your friend, but do not give your friend a single chance to become your enemy.
697give yourself permission to walk away from anything that gives you negative energy. there is no need to explain or make sense of it. trust yourself.
698go after what you want in life because the things that scare us are damn tiny compared to that bastard called death.
699go ahead, judge a book by its cover. just remember that the person who designed it probably didn't write the book.
700go and sin no more.

704good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience, this is the ideal life.
705good judgement comes from experience. and experience, well, that comes from poor judgement.
706good judgment comes from experience. experience comes from bad judgment.
707good people are like candles. they burn themselves out trying to give others light.
708good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
709good speech should be like a girl's skirt. long enough to cover the subject, short enough to create interest.

712great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
713great changes may not happen right away, but with effort even the difficult may become easy.
714great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
715great story's aren't written, they're rewritten.
716grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
717grief changes shape, but it never ends.happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing i know.
718grief does not change you, it reveals you.
719growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side, our roots will always be tangled. i'm glad for that.
720half the work that is done in this world is to make things appear what they are not.
721happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
722happiness consists in activity. it is running stream, not a stagnant pool.
723happiness depends upon ourselves.
724happiness exists when you don't know a thing.
725happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing i know.
726happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
727happiness is a sunset, it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.
728happiness is a swedish sunset, it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.
729happiness is a warm puppy.
730happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
731happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close knit family in another city.
732happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
733happiness is not a destination. it is a method of life.
734happiness is not something ready made. it comes from your own actions.
735happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
736happiness is so hard to define and foolish to define. am i acting. that's the worst thing you can ask yourself. you can be happy suddenly. it can spring on you, not when you reach a plateau. you can be happy going backward or going down. you can be happy at the loss of something.
737happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed.
738happiness is the consequence of personal effort. you fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. you have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. and once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
739happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
740happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

745have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
746have i not destroyed my enemy when i have made friends with him.
747have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary.
748have you ever been in love. horrible isn't it. it makes you so vulnerable. it opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. you build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. you give them a piece of you. they didn't ask for it. they did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. love takes hostages. it gets inside you. it eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like maybe we should be just friends turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. it hurts. not just in the imagination. not just in the mind. it's a soul hurt, a real gets inside you and rips you apart pain. i hate love.
749have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.
750having children makes you no more a paren't than having a piano makes you a pianist.
751having money is a way of being free of money.
752he does something to me, that boy. every time. it's his only detriment. he steps on my heart. he makes me cry.
753he felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.
754he has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children, who has filled his niche and accomplished his task, who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it, who has left the world better than he found it, whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul, who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had, whose life was an inspiration, whose memory a benediction.
755he never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
756he only earns his freedom and existence who daily conquers them anew.
757he past can hurt. but the way i see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.
758he said, the musicians play their instruments. i play the orchestra.
759he that lives upon hope will die fasting.
760he was a man, take him for all in all, i shall not look upon his like again.
761he who controls the past controls the future. he who controls the present controls the past.
762he who doesn't believe himself always lies.
763he who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
764he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
765he who learns but does not think, is lost. he who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
766he's a wallflower. you see things. you keep quiet about them. and you understand.
767he's like a drug for you, bella.
768he's more myself than i am. whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
769he's not perfect. you aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. but if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. he isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. don't analyze. smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. love hard when there is love to be had. because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.
770hear no evil, speak no evil and you'll never be invited to a party.
771helicopters are like women, you know they work and trust them, but if you make any effort to understand them whatsoever, you'd be to terrified to go near them.
772hen an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or cease to be honest.
773her insolence is outrageous, but the gentleman in me allows for no retaliation.
774here's all you have to know about men and women, women are crazy, men are stupid. and the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
775here's to books, the cheapest vacation you can buy.
776historically, the most terrible things war, genocide, and slavery have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.
777history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
778history is filled with the sound of silken slippers going downstairs and wooden shoes coming up.
779history is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
780history will be kind to me for i intend to write it.
781history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
782hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken.
783hold fast to dreams,for if dreams dielife is a broken winged bird, that cannot fly.
784holding hate in your heart is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
785honestly. stop trying to find yourself. great people don't discover their greatness, they create it. you're a nobody until you work to make yourself the person you wish to be.
786honesty is a healer.
787hope is a waking dream.
788hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords, but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain, and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment.
789hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all.
790hope rises and dreams flicker and die. love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. life is beautiful and living is pain.
791how bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
792how can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points.
793how did it get so late so soon. it's night before it's afternoon. december is here before it's june. my goodness how the time has flown. how did it get so late so soon.
794how do you defeat an enemy who looks into the barrel of a gun and sees paradise.
795how do you tell the difference between striving for growth and pretending to be something that you're not.
796how i wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill in such a place even i would be an ardent patriot.
797how i wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill. in such a place even i would be an ardent patriot.
798how lucky i am to have known somebody and something that saying goodbye to is so damned awful.
799how lucky i am to have something that makes saying goodbye hard.
800how many slams in an old screen door. depends how loud you shut it. how many slices in a bread. depends how thin you cut it. how much good inside a day. depends how good you live em. how much love inside a friend. depends how much you give em.
801how odd i can have all this inside me and to you its just words.
802how vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
803how wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
804how wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
805human kindness has no reward. you should give to others in every way you see expect absolutely nothing from anyone. it should be your goal to love every human you encounter. all human suffering that you're aware of and continues without your effort to stop it becomes your crime.
806humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
807i am a badass, and i recognize that you, too, are a badass.
808i am a cage, in search of a bird.
809i am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affirms, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.
810i am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. i am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. anything i can not transform into something marvelous, i let go. reality doesn't impress me. i only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, i escape, one way or another. no more walls.
811i am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
812i am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.
813i am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. imagination is more important than knowledge. knowledge is limited. imagination encircles the world.
814i am free of all prejudice. i hate everyone equally.
815i am free, no matter what rules surround me. if i find them tolerable, i tolerate them, if i find them too obnoxious, i break them. i am free because i know that i alone am morally responsible for everything i do.
816i am good, but not an angel. i do sin, but i am not the devil. i am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
817i am guilty of a dreadful, selfish crime. i have robbed myself of all my precious time.
818i am haunted by humans.
819i am human, nothing human can be alien to me.
820i am messy. and i am emotional. i am flawed but i strive to be the best version of myself.
821i am no bird, and no net ensnares me, i am a free human being with an independent will.
822i am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep, i am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.
823i am not handsome but i can give my hand to someone who needs help because beauty is required in the heart, not in the face.
824i am not pretty. i am not beautiful. i am as radiant as the sun.
825i am not sure that i exist, actually. i am all the writers that i have read, all the people that i have met, all the women that i have loved, all the cities i have visited.
826i am not young enough to know everything.
827i am nothing special, of this i am sure. i am a common man with common thoughts and i've led a common life. there are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but i've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
828i am only one, but still i am one. i cannot do everything, but still i can do something. and because i cannot do everything, i will not refuse to do the something that i can do.
829i am part of a lost generation.
830i am selfish. i am brave.
831i am sure care's an enemy to life.
832i am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
833i am weird, you are weird. everyone in this world is weird. one day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love.
834i am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
835i am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of einsteins brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
836i avoid looking backward or forward, and try to keep looking upward.
837i became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
838i believe that children are our future. unless we stop them now.
839i believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. that myth is more potent than history. that dreams are more powerful than facts. that hope always triumphs over experience. that laughter is the only cure for grief. and i believe that love is stronger than death.
840i believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, and wholesome things that money can buy.
841i believe the universe wants to be noticed. i think the universe is improbably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. and who am i, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it or my observation of it is temporary.
842i can never read all the books i want, i can never be all the people i want and live all the lives i want. i can never train myself in all the skills i want. and why do i want. i want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and i am horribly limited.
843i can resist anything except temptation.
844i can resist everything except temptation.
845i can see clearly now.
846i can shake off everything as i write, my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
847i can't change the direction of the wind, but i can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
848i can't give you a sure fire formula for success, but i can give you a formula for failure, try to please everybody all the time.
849i can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
850i can't understand why people are frightened by new ideas. i'm frightened of old ones.
851i cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. it is too long ago. i was in the middle before i knew that i had begun.
852i cannot live without books.
853i cannot remember the books i've read any more than the meals i have eaten, even so, they have made me.
854i cannot sleep unless i am surrounded by books.
855i care not what others think of what i do, but i care very much about what i think of what i do. that is character.
856i choose a lazy person to do a hard job. because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.
857i collect quotes. every time i see one i like i add it to a list in my phone. here it is so far.
858i confess, i do not believe in time.
859i could've been anything i wanted. and, one by one, i didn't become any of them.
860i declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading. how much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book. when i have a house of my own, i shall be miserable if i have not an excellent library.
861i did not attend his funeral, but i sent a nice letter saying i approved of it.
862i did then what i knew how to do. now that i know better, i do better.
863i didn't need you, you idiot. i picked you. and then you picked me back.
864i didn't want to wake up. i was having a much better time asleep. and that's really sad. it was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. i woke up into a nightmare.
865i disapprove of what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it.
866i dislike and despise groups of people but i love individuals. every person you look at, you can see the universe in their eyes  if you're really looking.
867i do not fear death. i had been dead for billions and billions of years before i was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.
868i do not know what i may appear to the world, but to myself i seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
869i do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. i love only that which they defend.
870i do not measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
871i do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.
872i do not want a friend who smiles when i smile, who weeps when i weep, for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.

874i do things like get in a taxi and say, the library, and step on it.
875i don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. but i do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.
876i don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
877i don't count the sit ups. i only start counting when it starts hurting because they're the only ones that count. that's what makes you a champion.
878i don't drink these days. i am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. i break out in handcuffs.
879i don't embrace trouble, that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. but i do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.
880i don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
881i don't go looking for trouble. trouble usually finds me.
882i don't hate them. i just feel better when they're not around.the saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
883i don't have many failures. if i'm making a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding.
884i don't know a perfect person. i only know flawed people who are still worth loving.
885i don't know half of you half as well as i should like, and i like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
886i don't know if you've ever felt like that. that you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. or just not exist. or just not be aware that you do exist. or something like that. i think wanting that is very morbid, but i want it when i get like this. that's why i'm trying not to think. i just want it all to stop spinning.
887i don't know that love changes. people change. circumstances change.
888i don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
889i don't make the rules. i just follow them.
890i don't mind living in a man's world, as long as i can be a woman in it.
891i don't need luck. i don't want it. i've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. it's made me who i am.
892i don't really care about being right, i just care about success.
893i don't repeat myself. i don't repeat myself.
894i don't scratch my head unless it itches, i don't dance unless i hear some music, and i will not be intimidated.
895i don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, i love you.
896i don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, i love you. a great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers by only see a wisp of smoke.
897i don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. i want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
898i don't want to believe. i want to know.
899i don't want to earn my living, i want to live.
900i don't want to lose the boy with the bread.
901i don't want to repeat my innocence. i want the pleasure of losing it again.
902i dream my painting and i paint my dream.
903i dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, mother, what was war.
904i dream. sometimes i think that's the only right thing to do.
905i drink much less than most people think and i think much more than most people would believe.
906i drink to make other people more interesting.
907i eat because i'm unhappy, and i'm unhappy because i eat.
908i fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but i fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.
909i fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. the world will have a generation of idiots.
910i fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. and it's these things i'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. i love her and it is the beginning of everything.
911i finally understood what true love meant.love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.
912i find a duck's opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not i have bread.
913i find television very educating. every time somebody turns on the set, i go into the other room and read a book.
914i find that a ducks opinion of me is very much influenced over whether or not i have bread.
915i forgot to order plant food.
916i found out that there weren't too many limitations if i did it my way.
917i generally avoid temptation unless i can't resist it.
918i had the blues because i had no shoes, until i met a man who had no feet.
919i hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
920i hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. none of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.
921i have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different.
922i have achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
923i have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.
924i have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
925i have as much authority as the pope, i just don't have as many people who believe it.
926i have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.
927i have decided to stick to love.hate is too great a burden to bear.
928i have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when i am trying to accomplish something of consequence. invariably they proclaim it can't be done.
929i have found some of the best reasons i ever had for remaining at the bottom simply by looking at the men at the top.
930i have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
931i have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
932i have friends in overalls whose friendship i would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
933i have great faith in fools self confidence my friends will call it.
934i have hated words and i have loved them, and i hope i have made them right.
935i have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. some come from ahead and some come from behind. but i've bought a big bat. i'm all ready you see. now my troubles are going to have troubles with me.
936i have learnt that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
937i have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
938i have made the gravest of mistakes,in permitting the scrutinizing gaze of society to shape me. to the point where i am unaware of who i am, yet wholly aware of the shadow i have become. too afraid to be transparen't even with those closest.
939i have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. when this occurs, i pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.
940i have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.
941i have no special talents. i am only passionately curious.
942i have not failed, i have just found 10,000 ways that do not work.
943i have not failed. i've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
944i have nothing new to teach the world. truth and non violence are as old as the hills. all i have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as i could.
945i have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
946i have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.
947i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.
948i have this strange feeling that i'm not myself anymore. it's hard to put into words, but i guess it's like i was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. that sort of feeling.
949i have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. their feathers are just too bright. and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. i guess i just miss my friend.
950i heard what you said. i'm not the silly romantic you think. i don't want the heavens or the shooting stars. i don't want gemstones or gold. i have those things already. i want a steady hand. a kind soul. i want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. i want to love, and be loved.
951i honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
952i hope she'll be a fool that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
953i hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. because if you are making mistakes, you're doing something.
954i just downvote everything.
955i just think it's good to be confident. if i'm not on my team why should anybody else be.
956i just want to put a ding in the universe.
957i keep on dying, because i love to live.
958i knew the second i met you that there was something about you i needed. turns out it wasn't something about you at all. it was just you.
959i knew when i met you an adventure was going to happen.
960i know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all.
961i know very little about anything, but i do know this, if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it.
962i know we only live once. but that doesn't mean live fast and die young. there is more youth six feet under. than the elderly in nursing homes.
963i learned this, at least, by my experiment, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
964i lie to myself all the time. but i never believe me.
965i like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the sidewalk. it's so heroic.
966i like living. i have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all i still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
967i like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. which is what i do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
968i like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
969i listened to an almost forgotten sound within myself as if my heart, long stopped, were calmly beginning to beat again.
970i long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
971i love being with people who make me forget i have a phone.
972i love deadlines. i love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.
973i love humanity but i hate humans.
974i love mankind it's people i can't stand..
975i love people who make me laugh. i honestly think it's the thing i like most, to laugh. it cures a multitude of ills. it's probably the most important thing in a person.
976i love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. life's a bitch. you've got to go out and kick ass.
977i love you as certain dark things are to be loved,in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
978i love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. i love you simply, without problems or pride, i love you in this way because i do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no i or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when i fall asleep your eyes close.
979i love you. i am who i am because of you. you are every reason, every hope, and every dream i've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. i will always be yours.
980i love you. remember, they cannot take it.
981i loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.
982i maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
983i may die young, but at least i'll die smart.
984i may not have gone where i intended to go, but i think i have ended up where i needed to be.
985i mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term.
986i might be in love with you. he smiles a little. i'm waiting until i'm sure to tell you, though.
987i must admit that i personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
988i must have a prodigious quantity of mind, it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.
989i must not fear. fear is the mind killer. fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face my fear. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the fear has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.
990i myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.
991i never change, i simply become more myself.
992i never travel without my diary. one should always have something sensational to read on the train.
993i no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. but i was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.
994i no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. if we don't vibrate on the same frequency theres just no reason for us to waste our time. id rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk.
995i no longer need to look upon myself because i have become the greatest.
996i only have one piece of advice for you, when the time comes, step up to the plate, smack that ball out of the park, look em in the eye, and don't say anything.
997i prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
998i read a book one day and my whole life was changed.
999i read once that the ancient egyptians had fifty words for sand & the eskimos had a hundred words for snow. i wish i had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.
1000i read so i can live more than one life in more than one place.
1001i realize now that dying is easy. living is hard.
1002i really don't know what i love you means. i think it means don't leave me here alone.
1003i refuse to answer that question on the grounds that i don't know the answer.
1004i refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
1005i regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.
1006i saw the angel in the marble and carved until i set him free.
1007i shall pass this way but once. any good therefore that i can do, or any kindness that i can show to any human being, let me do it now. let me not defer, nor neglect it, for i shall not pass this way again.
1008i shall pass through this world but once. any good therefore that i can do or any kindness that i can show to any human being, let me do it now. let me not defer or neglect it, for i shall not pass this way again.
1009i solemnly swear that i am up to no good.
1010i speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.
1011i spend so much time on the internet, i feel like i'm a million pages into the worst book ever, and i'm never going to stop reading.
1012i spent my life folded between the pages of books. in the absence of human relationships i formed bonds with paper characters. i lived love and loss through stories threaded in history, i experienced adolescence by association. my world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. i am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.
1013i still love the people ive loved, even if i cross the street to avoid them.
1014i stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, i heard my heart break. it was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower's stem.
1015i suppose i'll have to add the force of gravity to my list of enemies.
1016i suppose leadership at one time meant muscles, but today it means getting along with people.
1017i think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.
1018i think a lot of people dream. and while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, engaged, powerful people, are busy doing.
1019i think different religions are different doors to the same house. sometimes i think the house exists, and sometimes i don't. it's the great mystery.
1020i think if i've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. powerful stuff.
1021i think if we ban certain religions, if we censor the internet, i think that at that point the terrorists will have won.
1022i think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. there are downsides to everything, there are unintended consequences to everything.
1023i think it's the most natural thing in the world to make fun of stuff. because things are really stupid.
1024i think no comment is a splendid expression. i am using it again and again.
1025i think people spend too much time staring into screens and not enough time drinking wine, tongue kissing, and dancing under the moon.
1026i think that if i ever have kids, and they are upset, i won't tell them that people are starving in china or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. and even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.
1027i think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what its like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that.
1028i think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. if we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.
1029i think, therefore i am.
1030i think. if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
1031i thoroughly disapprove of duels. if a man should challenge me, i would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.
1032i told you.
1033i urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, if this isn't nice, i don't know what is.
1034i used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. its not. the worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.
1035i want freedom for the full expression on my personality.
1036i want to die on mars, just not on impact.
1037i want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
1038i want to put a ding in the universe.
1039i want to stand as close to the edge as i can without going over. out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
1040i wanted a perfect ending. now i've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
1041i wanted the whole world or nothing.
1042i wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. but what could i tell her about those things that she didn't already know. i wanted to explain that i am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race that rarely do i ever simply estimate it. i wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.
1043i was adored once too.
1044i was angry with my friend i told my wrath, my wrath did end. i was angry with my foe, i told it not, my wrath did grow.
1045i was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and i did. i said i didn't know.
1046i was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
1047i was smiling yesterday,i am smiling today and i will smile tomorrow. simply because life is too short to cry for anything.
1048i will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it.
1049i will always treasure the initial misconception i had of you.
1050i will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. and when i leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.
1051i will not allow anyone to walk through my mind with their dirty feet.
1052i will not condemn you for what you did yesterday, if you do it right today.
1053i will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.
1054i will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.
1055i wish i could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.
1056i wish i were dumber so i could be more certain about my opinions. it looks fun.
1057i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.
1058i woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. there is lots left in the world to read.
1059i wonder how many people i've looked at all my life and never seen.
1060i wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry.
1061i wonder who defined man as a rational animal. it was the most premature definition ever given.
1062i would always rather be happy than dignified.
1063i would challenge you to a battle of wits but i see you are unarmed.
1064i would die for my country but i could never let my country die for me.
1065i would die for you. but i won't live for you.
1066i would feel real trapped in this life if i didn't know i could commit suicide at any time.
1067i would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. i would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.
1068i would rather die of passion than of boredom.
1069i would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.
1070i would venture to guess that anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
1071i, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
1072i'd rather be someone's shot of whiskey than everyone's cup of tea.
1073i'd said it before and meant it, alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.
1074i'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
1075i'm a grenade and at some point i'm going to blow up and i would like to minimize the casualties, okay.
1076i'm a success today because i had a friend who believed in me and i didn't have the heart to let him down.
1077i'm bored is a useless thing to say. i mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. even the inside of your own mind is endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand. the fact that you're alive is amazing, so you don't get to say'i'm bored. louis c.k.
1078i'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the unsuccessful ones is pure perseverance. it is so hard.
1079i'm here. i love you. i don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long, i will stay with you. if you need the medication again, go ahead and take it i will love you through that, as well. if you don't need the medication, i will love you, too. there's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. i will protect you until you die, and after your death i will still protect you. i am stronger than depression and i am braver than loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.
1080i'm not a bad man. sometimes i have to think to myself what would a bad man do. the world needs bad men they keep the other bad men from the door.
1081i'm not a sore loser, it's just i prefer to win and when i don't i get furious.
1082i'm not afraid of death, i just don't want to be there when it happens.
1083i'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.
1084i'm not saying that everything is survivable. just that everything except the last thing is.
1085i'm not upset that you lied to me, i'm upset that from now on i won't be able to believe you.
1086i'm only brave when i have to be. being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.
1087i'm quite illiterate, but i read a lot.
1088i'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way i want to.
1089i'm tough, i'm ambitious, and i know exactly what i want. if that makes me a bitch, okay.

1091i've been killing characters my entire career, maybe i'm just a bloody minded bastard, i don't know, [but] when my characters are in danger, i want you to be afraid to turn the page (and to do that) you need to show right from the beginning that you're playing for keeps.
1092i've carried this character around like an old suitcase, down a long, dusty path. i'm not carrying it because i like it. the contents are too heavy, and it looks crummy, fraying in spots. i've carried it with me because there was nothing else i was supposed to carry.

1099i've never fooled anyone. i've let people fool themselves. they didn't bother to find out who and what i was. instead they would invent a character for me. i wouldn't argue with them. they were obviously loving somebody i wasn't.

1339in life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.
1340in matters of self control as we shall see again and again, speed kills. but a little friction really can save lives.
1341in my mind i am eloquent, i can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. but when i open my mouth, everything collapses.
1342in our lives, on average, we will be asleep for a total of 8,477 days. if we're lucky, some of that time will be sleeping next to someone we love.
1343in peace, sons bury their fathers. in war, fathers bury their sons.
1344in politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. if you want anything done, ask a woman.
1345in real life, however, you don't react to what someone did, you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. if life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator.
1346in the beginning the universe was created. this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
1347in the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
1348in the depth of winter, i finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
1349in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
1350in the long run, you only hit what you aim at.
1351in the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart.
1352in the vain laughter of folly, wisdom hears half its applause.
1353in vain have i struggled. it will not do. my feelings will not be repressed. you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love you.
1354in wisdom gathered over time i have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
1355inaction breeds doubt and fear. action breeds confidence and courage. if you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. go out and get busy.
1356indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
1357individual commitment to a group effort that is what makes a team work a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
1358individual expression and niche marketing is the natural way of the world.
1359individually, we are one drop. together, we are an ocean.
1360industries are only valuable to the degree they meet human needs. there's not some at least in my psyche this notion of, oh, we need new industries. we need children not to die, we need people to have an opportunity to get a good education.
1361infuse your life with action. don't wait for it to happen. make it happen. make your own future. make your own hope.
1362innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
1363inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.
1364inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
1365inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy.
1366instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.
1367iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
1368is better to be fun and funny, than to be angry and grumpy.
1369is everybody decaying and death marching ever closer. are the sands of time so cruel they should be arrested and sent to a cardiac beach. get cgi perspective and get with it.
1370is fat really the worst thing a human being can be. is fat worse than vindictive', jealous', shallow', vain', boring or cruel'. not to me.
1371isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.
1372isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet.
1373isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times. mo had said.as if something were left between the pages every time you read it. feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells.and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower.both strange and familiar.
1374it all comes down to simple mathematics. a really beautiful relationship is a once in a lifetime thing. and i've already had mine.
1375it all comes down to this, the simplest way to be happy is to do good.
1376it always shocked me when i realized that i wasn't the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.
1377it amazes me how 26 letters can be comprised into hundreds of words and arranged into thousands of sentences that speak to our souls in millions of ways.
1378it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
1379it doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do, we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.
1380it doesn't matter what other people think of you. what really matters is what you think of yourself.
1381it doesn't matter whether we made the right choice. what matters is what happens.
1382it gets easier. every day, it gets a little easier. but you gotta do it every day. that's the hard part. but it does get easier.
1383it has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
1384it has been said, time heals all wounds. i do not agree. the wounds remain. in time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. but it is never gone.
1385it hurts to let go. sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. you feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. for having wanted to be wanted. it confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't coma back. you're left so alone that you can't explain. damn, there's nothing like that, is there. i've been there and you have too. you're nodding your head.
1386it hurts when you go through something that kills you inside but you have to act like it doesn't affect you at all.
1387it is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. we all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. and yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. it is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.
1388it is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
1389it is a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
1390it is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.
1391it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
1392it is absurd to divide people into good and bad. people are either charming or tedious.
1393it is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
1394it is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
1395it is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
1396it is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.
1397it is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
1398it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
1399it is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
1400it is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.
1401it is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.
1402it is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
1403it is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
1404it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
1405it is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature, without forming an opinion on them. on the other hand, it is perfectly possible to sit all day, every day, on top of another creature and not have the slightest thought about them whatsoever.
1406it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
1407it is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
1408it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
1409it is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
1410it is forbidden to kill, therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
1411it is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.
1412it is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them.
1413it is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.
1414it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all in which case, you fail by default.
1415it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.
1416it is just like mans vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.
1417it is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like what about lunch.
1418it is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering, than it is to have sympathy with thought.
1419it is my belief. that the truth is generally preferable to lies.
1420it is never too late to be what you might have been.
1421it is never your fault for being who you are and doing what you do, but always your fault for not being able to deal with the consequence of your actions.
1422it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
1423it is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
1424it is not enough to do your best, you must know what to do, and then do your best.
1425it is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
1426it is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
1427it is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
1428it is not the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it is the pebble in your shoe.
1429it is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
1430it is not work that kills men, it is worry. work is healthy, you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. worry is the rust upon the blade. it is not the movement that destroys the machinery but the friction.
1431it is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars.
1432it is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. it is in fact true. it's called living.
1433it is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
1434it is only by doing things others have not that one can advance.
1435it is only the modern that ever becomes old fashioned.
1436it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. that is not a weakness, that is life.
1437it is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. that is true, it's called life.
1438it is so simple to be happy but it is difficult to be simple.
1439it is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
1440it is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
1441it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
1442it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
1443it is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
1444it is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
1445it is your mind that creates this world.
1446it isn't enough to talk about peace. one must believe in it. and it isn't enough to believe in it. one must work at it.
1447it isn't possible to love and part. you will wish that it was. you can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. i know by experience that the poets are right, love is eternal.
1448it isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. it is what you think about it.
1449it isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. it is what you think about.
1450it just makes me so sad when i see someone light up and start talking about their passion, but then they stop talking and apologize.
1451it kills me sometimes, how people die.
1452it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
1453it may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime.
1454it must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. for the initiator has the enmity of all who profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new one.
1455it never ceases to amaze me, we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.
1456it only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.
1457it requires wisdom to understand wisdom, the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
1458it sounds funny, but i mean it when i say that i am excited about chickens.
1459it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
1460it takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.
1461it takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.
1462it usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
1463it was books that made me feel that perhaps i was not completely alone. they could be honest with me, and i with them.
1464it was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.
1465it was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.
1466it was not the feeling of completeness i so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
1467it was when i was happiest that i longed most. the sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing to find the place where all the beauty came from.
1468it would be a nice thing if humanity could survive.
1469it's a dangerous business, frodo, going out your door. you step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.
1470it's a lot easier to be lost than found. it's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered so many locks not enough keys.
1471it's a strange world we live in when the porn industry has a record of everyone they've ever shot and yet the police don't.
1472it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then it's just fun you can't see.
1473it's all in the view. that's what i mean about forever, too. for any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. you never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count.
1474it's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. as long as they deserve it.
1475it's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
1476it's enough for me to be sure that you and i exist at this moment.
1477it's far better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone so far.
1478it's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
1479it's fun to do nothing special with you. and that's good.
1480it's good to be hated, it's good to know there are people out there who would dance on my grave, but since i'm gonna be buried at sea, they'll all drown.
1481it's important to remember at the end of the day, every living creature produces its own form of shit.
1482it's just that i don't want to be somebody's crush. if somebody likes me, i want them to like the real me, not what they think i am. and i don't want them to carry it around inside. i want them to show me, so i can feel it too.
1483it's just that. i just think that some things are meant to be broken. imperfect. chaotic. it's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know. there have to be a few holes in the road. it's how life is.
1484it's kind of fun to do the impossible.
1485it's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. always. all the time. that story makes you what you are. we build ourselves out of that story.
1486it's much easier to become interested in others than it is to convince them to be interested in you.
1487it's never their fault. they don't know any better.
1488it's no use going back to yesterday, because i was a different person then.
1489it's not a defeat that destroys you. being demoralized by defeat is that destroys you.
1490it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become.
1491it's not denial. i'm just selective about the reality i accept.
1492it's not resources but resourcefulness that ultimately makes the difference.
1493it's not that i'm so smart, it's just that i stay with problems longer.
1494it's not the daily increase but daily decrease. hack away at the unessential.
1495it's not the face, but the expressions on it. it's not the voice, but what you say. it's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. you are beautiful.
1496it's not the length of life that matters, it's the depth.
1497it's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
1498it's not the strongest of species that survives, nor the most intelligent. it is the one that is most adaptable to change.
1499it's not the thought of turning 50 that depresses me, it's the thought of fifty more.
1500it's not true that i had nothing on. i had the radio on.
1501it's not true that life is one damn thing after another, it is one damn thing over and over.
1502it's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
1503it's not what you can say, it's what you can prove.
1504it's not your life, it's life. life is bigger than you. life isn't something you possess, it's something you take part in and you witness.
1505it's now very common to hear people say, i'm rather offended by that.
1506it's often just enough to be with someone. i don't need to touch them. not even talk. a feeling passes between you both. you're not alone.
1507it's ok to stop doing things that should make you feel good, but dont.
1508it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
1509it's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief lessens. it may not go away completely, but after a while it's not so overwhelming.
1510it's really a wonder that i haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. yet i keep them, because in spite of everything, i still believe that people are really good at heart.
1511it's so cruel to let people love you. all you're doing is promising to one day break their hearts.
1512it's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. we have no scar to show for happiness. we learn so little from peace.
1513it's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.
1514it's so strange that autumn is so beautiful yet everything is dying.
1515it's strange because sometimes, i read a book, and i think i am the people in the book.
1516it's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
1517it's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
1518its been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.
1519joy and fun are quite compatible with spirituality and scholarship.
1520judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
1521jurassic park will forever be my favorite movie because it illustrates perfectly how, when you try to control everything, you will get eaten by a dinosaur.
1522just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have.
1523just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides, just like hopes springing high, still i'll rise.
1524just when i discovered the meaning of life, they changed it.
1525keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
1526keep friends who inspire you.
1527keep hope alive.
1528keep in mind that people change, but the past doesn't.
1529keep it real.
1530keep looking. don't settle. as with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
1531keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
1532keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.
1533keep your goals in front of you and your fears behind you.
1534keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success.
1535kindness in words creates confidence kindness in thinking creates profoundness kindness in giving creates love.
1536kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
1537kindness isn't kindness if you expect a reward.
1538kiss me, and you will see how important i am.
1539knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. when we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.
1540knowing is not enough, we must apply. willing is not enough, we must do.
1541knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
1542knowledge alone is flat and lifeless, it becomes meaningful through the accumulation of experience over time.
1543knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
1544knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. wisdom is knowing that a tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
1545knowledge is not wisdom, unless used wisely.
1546knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
1547knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
1548lady, when you lose your power to laugh, you lose your power to think.
1549laters, baby.
1550laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. be bold. when you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
1551laughter is like a windshield wiper, it doesn't stop the rain but allows us to keep going.
1552laughter is timeless. imagination has no age. and dreams are forever.
1553laziness is an art, my friend. but right now, i don't want to waste energy to explain it to you.
1554laziness is the wealth of the poor.
1555learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.
1556learning without thought is labor lost.
1557lesser artists borrow, great artists steal.
1558let an opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh, let an opponent smash into your flesh and you fracture his bone, let an opponent fracture your bone and you take his life, do not be concerned with your escaping safely, lay your life before him.
1559let go of attachment and pursue happiness.
1560let go of how you perceive others and how others perceive you.
1561let go or be dragged.
1562let me fall if i must, the one i'll become will catch me.
1563let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that i am persecuted whenever i am contradicted.
1564let me tell you i am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction, absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.
1565let me tell you this, if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. it's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
1566let no man pull you so low as to hate him.
1567let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. love one another but make not a bond of love, let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. for only the hand of life can contain your hearts. and stand together, yet not too near together, for the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
1568let us be grateful to the people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
1569let us be thankful for the fools. but for them the rest of us could not succeed.
1570let us never know what old age is. let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.
1571let us read, and let us dance, these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.
1572let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
1573let's go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday.
1574let's make a dent in the universe.
1575letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. it's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.
1576libraries were full of ideas perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.
1577lie to a liar, for lies are his coin, steal from a thief, for that is easy, lay a trap for a trickster and catch him at the first attempt, but beware of an honest man.
1578life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.
1579life asked death, why do people love me but hate you. death responded.
1580life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apology you never got.
1581life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
1582life has no meaning. each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. it is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
1583life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how i react to it.
1584life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
1585life is a book and there are a thousand pages i have not yet read.
1586life is a carousel, we all think that we are the only one driving it.
1587life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel.
1588life is a cruel, horrible joke and i am the punch line.
1589life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
1590life is a festival only to the wise.
1591life is a foreign language, all men mispronounce it.
1592life is a long lesson in humility.
1593life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
1594life is a reciprocal exchange. to move forward, you have to give back.
1595life is a self fulfilling prophecy. in the long run you usually get what you expect.
1596life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
1597life is a tempo. take it slow. go at the right pace.
1598life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. all part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
1599life is a zoo in a jungle.
1600life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.
1601life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
1602life is as tedious as a twice told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
1603life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
1604life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
1605life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
1606life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

1609life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering and it's all over much too soon.
1610life is full of surprises and and serendipity. being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. if you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. just find your next adventure do it well, enjoy it and then, not now, think about what comes next.
1611life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self actualize. happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
1612life is just a bowl of pits.
1613life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
1614life is just one damned thing after another.
1615life is like an ocean.
1616life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
1617life is like riding a bicycle. to keep your balance, you must keep moving.
1618life is more than just finding different beautiful views with the perfect inebriation.
1619life is most difficult exam. many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different exam.
1620life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming wow. what a ride.
1621life is not a spectacle or feast, it is a predicament.
1622life is not fair, get used to it.
1623life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
1624life is pain, highness. anyone who says differently is selling something.
1625life is pleasant. death is peaceful. it's the transition that's troublesome.
1626life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. indeed, the shorter it is. people lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. i realize how important it is to use the time i have.
1627life is short. that's why you have to do whatever you want all the time.
1628life is so uncertain, you never know what could happen. one way to deal with that is to keep your pajamas washed.
1629life is something that everyone should try at least once.
1630life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
1631life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
1632life is the flower for which love is the honey.
1633life is to be enjoyed, not endured.
1634life is two eternities of nothingness separated by one short moment of consciousness.
1635life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.
1636life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
1637life is without meaning. you bring the meaning to it.
1638life isn't about finding yourself. life is about creating yourself.
1639life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
1640life isn't fair. it's just fairer than death, that's all.
1641life isn't simple. but the beauty of it is, you can always start over. it'll get easier.
1642life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming wow. what a ride.
1643life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
1644life was mostly made up of things you couldn't control, full of surprises, and they weren't always good. life wasn't what you made it. you were what life made you.
1645life will break you. nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. you have to love. you have to feel. it is the reason you are here on earth. you are here to risk your heart. you are here to be swallowed up. and when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
1646life will let you fall as hard, as low, and as far as you care to let it.
1647life, he realize, was much like a song. in the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.
1648life's a bitch, so you might as well make it your bitch.
1649life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. but sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.
1650like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, so do our minutes hasten to their end.
1651like many intellectuals, he was incapable of saying a simple thing in a simple way.
1652like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.
1653live as if you were to die tomorrow. learn as if you were to live forever.
1654live content with small means, seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. be worthy, not respectable, wealthy, not rich, study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
1655live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. there is only now.
1656live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
1657live life like it's your last day.
1658live to the point of tears.
1659live with intention. walk to the edge. listen hard. practice wellness. play with abandon. laugh. choose with no regrets. appreciate your friends. continue to learn. do what you love. live as if this is all there is.
1660live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.
1661living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.
1662lock up your libraries if you like, but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
1663logic will get you from a to b. imagination will take you everywhere.
1664logic will get you from a to z, imagination will get you everywhere.
1665loneliness becomes an acid that eats away at you.
1666loneliness is dangerous. its addicting. once you see how peaceful it is, you dont want to deal with people.
1667loneliness is to be avoided, solitude is to be sought.i don't want to believe. i want to know.
1668look after my heart i've left it with you.
1669look at the clock when you are sitting idle. but never look at the clock when you are working.
1670look, all i know is what they taught me at command school. there are certain rules about a war and rule number one is young men die. and rule number two is doctors can't change rule number one.
1671lost time is never found again.
1672lots of people act well, but few people talk well. this shows that talking is the more difficult of the two.
1673love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
1674love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. love is a battle, love is a war, love is a growing up.
1675love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
1676love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
1677love is a better teacher than duty.
1678love is a fire. but whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
1679love is a friendship set to music.
1680love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. and when it subsides, you have to make a decision. you have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. because this is what love is. love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. no, don't blush, i am telling you some truths. that is just being in love, which any fool can do. love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
1681love is always patient and kind. it is never jealous. love is never boastful or conceited. it is never rude or selfish. it does not take offense and is not resentful. love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
1682love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
1683love is an untamed force. when we try to control it, it destroys us. when we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. when we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.
1684love is friendship that has caught fire. it is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. it is loyalty through good and bad times. it settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
1685love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.
1686love is needing someone. love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.
1687love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.
1688love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1689love is so short, forgetting is so long.
1690love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

1694love is when he gives you a piece of your soul, that you never knew was missing.
1695love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
1696love isn't a state of perfect caring. it is an active noun like struggle. to love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now and to go on caring even through times that may bring us pain.
1697love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
1698love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged cupid painted blind.
1699love never dies a natural death. it dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. it dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. it dies of illness and wounds, it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
1700love sleep. my life has the tendency to fall apart when i'm awake, you know.
1701love someone who is going to love you back as much as you love them, because the worst part of loving someone, is being loved in half when you love them with everything.
1702love the journey and cherish destination.
1703love the life you live.live the life you love.
1704love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.

1707make friends with people who aren't your age. hang out with people whose first language isn't the same as yours. get to know someone who doesn't come from your social class. this is how you see the world. this is how you grow.
1708make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.
1709make your faith larger than your fears and your dreams larger than your doubts.
1710making the simple complicated is commonplace, making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.

1728maturity is not when we start speaking big things. it is when we start understanding small things.
1729may the new year bring you courage to break your resolutions early. my own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that i triumph even when i fall.
1730may the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

1742maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.
1743memories are what warm you up from the inside. but they're also what tear you apart.
1744memories warm you up from the inside. but they also tear you apart.
1745men are born to succeed, not fail.
1746men are like steel. when they lose their temper, they lose their worth.

1753mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
1754money can help you to get medicines but not health. money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. attain the supreme wealth, wisdom, and you will have everything.
1755money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
1756money doesn't change people, it just helps them be who they really are.
1757money may not make you happy, but without it you're probably gonna be sad.
1758morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.

1760most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
1761most people are other people. their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

1764motivation is what gets you started. habit is what keeps you going.
1765much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me.
1766music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
1767music is a total constant. that's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know. because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. no matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.
1768music was my refuge. i could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
1769my absolute favorite piece of information is the fact that young sloths are so inept that they frequently grab their own arms and legs instead of tree limbs, and fall out of trees.
1770my ambition is handicapped by laziness.
1771my best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
1772my coat and i live comfortably together. it has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and i only feel its presence because it keeps me warm. old coats and old friends are the same thing.
1773my daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.
1774my dear, find what you love and let it kill you. let it drain you of your all. let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. let it kill you and let it devour your remains. for all things will kill you, both slowly and fast, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.
1775my experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres, it's a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science fiction cowboy detective novel.
1776my favorite things in life don't cost any money. it's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
1777my first time i jacked off, i thought i'd invented it. i looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, this is going to make me rich.
1778my formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.
1779my friends are my estate.
1780my great hope is to laugh as much as i cry, to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
1781my job is not to be easy on people. my job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.
1782my life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops.
1783my life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet i'm happy. i can't figure it out. what am i doing right.
1784my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
1785my mother would say to me, look for the helpers. you will always find people who are helping.
1786my nightmares are usually about losing you. i'm okay once i realize you're here.

1788my success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.
1789my tastes are simple, i am easily satisfied with the best.

1791my wife and i were happy for twenty years, then we met.
1792myth is the public dream, dream is the private myth.
1793nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. as a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
1794nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
1795neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
1796never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

1813never go to bed mad. stay up and fight.

1833no distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
1834no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. if we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
1835no enterprise can exist for itself alone. it ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others, or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.
1836no great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

1839no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.

1841no man is rich enough to buy back his past.
1842no man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. he that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
1843no man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
1844no man steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.

1861no pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to uncharted land, or opened a new heaven in the human spirit.
1862no relationship is perfect, ever. there are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. the love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. and that's the key. it's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. love can make up for a lot.
1863no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
1864no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. no surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.
1865no thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.
1866no tyrant could thrive where every subject said no. the tyrant thrives when the first fucking fool salutes.

1871nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
1872nobody likes being alone that much. i don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. it just leads to disappointment.
1873nobody likes being alone. i just hate to be disappointed.
1874nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
1875nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. we all stumble. we all have setbacks. it's just life's way of saying, time to change course.
1876non violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. it is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
1877none but ourselves can free our minds.
1878normal is an illusion. what is normal for the spider, is chaos for the fly.
1879normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacan't all day so you can afford to live in it.
1880normality is a paved road, it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
1881not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
1882not all of us can do great things. but we can do small things with great love.

1885not all those who wander are lost.
1886not my daughter, you bitch.

1888nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.
1889nothing is as obnoxious as other people's luck.

1895nothing pains some people more than having to think.
1896nothing takes the heart out of a man more than the expectation of failure.

1898notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
1899now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. that means nothing. people like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
1900now i see that i will never find the light, unless, like the candle, i am my own fuel, consuming myself.
1901now now my good man, this is no time to be making enemies.
1902now, the human experience has in some ways changed but in many ways it has stayed pretty much the same.

1917on the internet, you can be anything you want. it's strange that so many people choose to be stupid.
1918once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. it's something we call heart power. once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.
1919once the ego is born into this world, it must shoulder morality.
1920once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.

1928one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
1929one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.
1930one day i sat thinking, almost in despair, a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said reassuringly, cheer up, things could get worse. so i cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse.
1931one day i will find the right words, and they will be simple.
1932one day you will kiss a man you can't breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.
1933one day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. do it now.
1934one day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
1935one day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. however, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.
1936one day, you're 17 and you're planning for someday. and then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. and then someday is yesterday. and this is your life.
1937one evening while september was young i peeped out of window. i saw scarlet sky. wonder how many sunsets have i missed.

1950one who is truly wise understands that there is an ultimate source of wisdom. therefore, wisdom cannot be created or destroyed. wisdom can only be discovered.
1951one, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. two, never give up work. work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.
1952only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies.
1953only in the darkness can you see the stars.
1954only once in your life, i truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. you tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. you share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. when something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. they are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. there is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. you can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. the things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. colors seem brighter and more brilliant. laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. a phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. in their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. you think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. you open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. you find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. you find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.
1955only open your mouth if what you have to say is more beautiful than silence.
1956only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
1957only the coward and the strong survive, there's no place for the brave.
1958only the dead have seen the end of war.
1959only the shallow know themselves.
1960only the suppressed word is dangerous.
1961only the very weak minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.
1962only the weak are cruel. gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
1963only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
1964only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
1965opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
1966optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
1967ost people are other people. their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
1968others can stop you temporarily. you are the only one who can do it permanently.
1969ou don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.
1970ou know when you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
1971our best thoughts come from others.
1972our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
1973our hearts are not stones. a stone may disintegrate in time and lose its outward form. but hearts never disintegrate. they have no outward form, and whether good or evil, we can always communicate them to one another.
1974our indifference or cruelty towards fellow creatures of this world sooner or later affects the treatment we mete out to other human beings.
1975our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. it has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. and it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.
1976our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
1977our most original compositions are composed exclusively of expressions derived from others.
1978our natural state isn't within of this world, but another one. the earth is just an attachment.
1979our story has three parts, a beginning, a middle, and an end. and although this is the way all stories unfold, i still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.
1980outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
1981pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. the really great men must, i think, have great sadness on earth.
1982pain is inevitable. suffering is optional.
1983pain is temporary. quitting lasts forever.
1984painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
1985participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world.
1986patience is the companion of wisdom.
1987peace begins with a smile.
1988peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding.
1989people act strange around death.
1990people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
1991people are afraid of themselves, of their own reality, their feelings most of all. people talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. love hurts. feelings are disturbing. people are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. how can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel. pain is meant to wake us up. people try to hide their pain. but they're wrong. pain is something to carry, like a radio. you feel your strength in the experience of pain. it's all in how you carry it. that's what matters. pain is a feeling. your feelings are a part of you. your own reality. if you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. you should stand up for your right to feel your pain.
1992people are like stained glass windows. they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
1993people aren't born good or bad. maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters.
1994people believe whatever suits them.
1995people can lose their lives in libraries. they ought to be warned.
1996people do not like to think. if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. conclusions are not always pleasant.
1997people don't change.
1998people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
1999people generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.
2000people have a hard time letting go of their suffering. out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
2001people have to talk about something just to keep their good voice boxes in working order, so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say.
2002people haven't always been there for me but music always has.
2003people of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. most men succeed because they are determined to.
2004people only mention it's a free country if they're doing something bad.
2005people pretend not to like grapes when the vines are too high for them to reach.
2006people rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
2007people say i love you all the time. when they say take an umbrella, it's raining, or hurry back, or even watch out, you'll break your neck.
2008people say nothing is impossible, but i do nothing every day.
2009people say that life is the thing, but i prefer reading.
2010people think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. but a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.a true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. but to live with a soul mate forever. nah. too painful. soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.a soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master.
2011people think being alone makes you lonely, but i don't think thats true. being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.
2012people think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. dreams are real. but they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.
2013people who are brutally honest generally enjoy the brutality more than the honesty.
2014people who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity no matter how impressive their other talents.
2015people who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
2016people who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us. it's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.
2017people who have what they want are very fond of telling people who haven't what they want that they don't want it.
2018people who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
2019people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
2020people will kill you over time, and how they'll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like be realistic.
2021people wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
2022people with nothing to hide don't usually feel the need to say so.
2023people worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos, we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. nobody worries about kids listening to thousands literally thousands of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.
2024people, i have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. you believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. you will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.
2025percy wouldn't notice a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing one of dobby's hats.
2026perhaps i know best why it is man alone who laughs, he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
2027perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
2028perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
2029perseverance is a great element of success. if you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
2030pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
2031plans are worthless, but planning is everything.
2032playing things too safe is the most popular way to fail.
2033poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
2034politics should bore people, because the work of government is boring.
2035poverty is the worst form of violence.
2036power is founded upon opinion.
2037prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.
2038problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them.
2039production of too many useful things produces too many useless people.
2040progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
2041promise me you'll always remember, you're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
2042promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. to make all your friends feel that there is something in them. to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. to think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. to wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. to give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. to think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. to live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
2043punctuality is the thief of time.
2044put light against light you have nothing. put dark against dark you have nothing. its the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.
2045put trust in the fool and you become the fool.
2046put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. that's relativity.
2047racism is there and it is a constant. you're tired of hearing about it. imagine how exhausting it is living it.
2048racism is to hate something you randomly aren't.
2049raise your words, not your voice, it is the rain that grows flowers, not the thunder.
2050raise your words, not your voice. it is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
2051rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
2052rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. there is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half baked solutions.
2053rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
2054read, read, read. read everything trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. read. you'll absorb it. then write. if it's good, you'll find out. if it's not, throw it out of the window.
2055reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge, it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
2056reading is escape, and the opposite of escape, it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.
2057reading is one form of escape. running for your life is another.
2058reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.
2059reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice, reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head.
2060real living is living for others.
2061reality continues to ruin my life.
2062reality is just a crutch for people who can't handle drugs.
2063reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
2064reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
2065reality is wrong. dreams are for real.
2066reality isn't made out of matter, but what matters.
2067reality, what a concept.
2068reason is experimental intelligence, conceived after the pattern of science, and used in the creation of social arts, it has something to do. it liberates man from the bondage of the past, due to ignorance and accident hardened into custom. it projects a better future and assists man in its realization.
2069reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired.
2070regret for the things we did can be tempered by time, it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
2071regrets are illuminations that have come too late.
2072remember red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
2073remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
2074remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. there have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall think of it, always.
2075remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
2076remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
2077remember the five simple rules to be happy, free your heart from hatred. free your mind from worries. live simply. give more. expect less.
2078remember to always be yourself. unless you suck.
2079remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold.
2080remember, success is a journey, not a destination. have faith in your ability. you will do just fine.
2081remember, the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. life's cruelest irony.
2082remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
2083remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.
2084remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. you are already naked. there is no reason not to follow your heart.
2085resist much, obey little.
2086respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
2087right now i'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. i think i've forgotten this before.
2088risk is what separates the good part of life from the tedium.
2089routine kills art.
2090rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff. rule number two is, its all small stuff.
2091sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.
2092sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.
2093satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. full effort is full victory.
2094say provoking again. your mouth looks provocative when you do.
2095saying i notice you're a nerd is like saying, hey, i notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of lindsay lohan. why is that. in fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. even lame is kind of lame. saying you're lame is like saying you walk with a limp. yeah, whatever, so does 50 cent, and he's done all right for himself.
2096scattered through the ordinary world there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth.
2097science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings.
2098security is mostly a superstition. it does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
2099security is mostly a superstition. life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
2100seeing someone reading a book you love is seeing a book recommending a person.
2101seek respect, not attention. it lasts longer.
2102seeking quotes about overcoming fears, adversity, etc.
2103setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it is the only means.
2104setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
2105sex is like air, it's not important unless you aren't getting any.
2106shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances, it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. strong me believe in cause and effect.
2107she is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.
2108she said, i'm so afraid. and i said, why, and she said, because i'm so profoundly happy. happiness like this is frightening. i asked her why and she said, they only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you.
2109she was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. and that's important you know.
2110she wasn't bitter. she was sad, though. but it was a hopeful kind of sad. the kind of sad that just takes time.
2111she wasn't doing a thing i could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.
2112she's in front of me, but at the same time a million miles away.
2113shine boldly so that all may find you when the night falls.
2114ships don't sink because of the water around them, ships sink because of the water that gets in them. don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.
2115should i kill myself, or have a cup of coffee.
2116show me a hero, and i'll write you a tragedy.
2117showing off is the fool's idea of glory.

2550the unexamined life is not worth living.
2551the universe was exploding, each particle away from the next, hurtling us into dark and lonely space, eternally tearing us away from each other  child out of the womb, friend away from friend, moving from each other, each through his own pathway toward the goal box of solitary death.
2552the unreal is more powerful than the real. because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. if you can change the way people think. the way they see themselves. the way they see the world. you can change the way people live their lives. that's the only lasting thing you can create.

2567the world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.
2568the world has so many lessons to teach you. i consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. and the secret i've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.

2640there is no greater danger than playing it safe.
2641there is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.
2642there is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. if two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.
2643there is no medium for psychology to reflect itself in, it can only portray itself in itself, and describe itself.
2644there is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. it is like falling in love.
2645there is no real ending. it's just the place where you stop the story.
2646there is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.
2647there is no tomorrow, there is only a planet turning in its axis and a creature given to optimistic fancies.
2648there is no virtue in ignorance.
2649there is not always a good guy. nor is there always a bad one. most people are somewhere in between.
2650there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
2651there is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
2652there is nothing i would not do for those who are really my friends. i have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
2653there is nothing impossible to him who will try.
2654there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
2655there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your former self.
2656there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. true nobility lies in being superior to your former self.
2657there is nothing to writing. all you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
2658there is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. the poor can think of nothing else.
2659there is only one success to be able to spend your life in your own way.
2660there is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve, the fear of failure.
2661there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.
2662there is time for everything.
2663there was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.
2664there's a difference between loving the idea of someone and actually loving who they really are.
2665there's a fine line between genius and insanity. i have erased this line.
2666there's no excuse to be bored. sad, yes. angry, yes. depressed, yes. crazy, yes. but there's no excuse for boredom, ever.
2667there's no present. there's only the immediate future and the recent past.
2668there's nothing i find more boring than arguing with someone because they want to use their idea instead of the right idea.
2669there's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
2670there's plenty of sense in nonsense sometimes, if you wish to look for it.
2671these days you are considered a weirdo if you live without a phone. yet nobody cares if you live without a purpose. anything wrong with that picture.
2672these woods are lovely, dark and deep,but i have promises to keep, and miles to go before i sleep, and miles to go before i sleep.
2673they always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
2674they didn't agree on much. in fact, they didn't agree on anything. they fought all the time and challenged each other ever day. but despite their differences, they had one important thing in common. they were crazy about each other.
2675they love their hair because they're not smart enough to love something more interesting.
2676they proved that if you quit smoking, it will prolong your life. what they haven't proved is that a prolonged life is a good thing. i haven't seen the stats on that yet.
2677they say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world, someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
2678they say don't read a book by it's a cover, but the real problem is most people are blind.
2679they say time heals all wounds, but then why the fuck i still got all these scars.
2680they say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but i don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as i'm missing you right now.
2681they say, sarcasm is a metric for potential.
2682they told me to wish big, so i wished to be little again.
2683they've promised that dreams can come true, but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
2684things change. and friends leave. life doesn't stop for anybody.
2685things don't have to change the world to be important.
2686things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.
2687things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.
2688think before you speak. read before you think.
2689think left and think right and think low and think high. oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try.
2690think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
2691think of a person of average intelligence, and then realize half of the country is more stupid than that idiot.
2692think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
2693think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy.
2694think, every day, something no one else is thinking.
2695thinking is more precious than all five senses.
2696thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.
2697thinking, the talking of the soul with itself.
2698this guy's walking down a street when he falls in a hole.
2699this is slavery, not to speak one's thought.
2700this is the problem i want to have.
2701this life is what you make it. no matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. but the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. girls will be your friends they'll act like it anyway. but just remember, some come, some go. the ones that stay with you through everything they're your true best friends. don't let go of them. also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. as for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. and baby, i hate to say it, most of them actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. you'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie. so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
2702this life's hard, but it's harder if you're stupid.
2703this moment contains all moments.
2704this moment will just be another story someday.
2705this report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.
2706this world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.
2707those are my principles. if you don't like them i have others.
2708those were the best years of our lives.
2709those who are heartless once cared too much.
2710those who are preoccupied with making a statement usually dont have any statements worth making.
2711those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.
2712those who believe they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
2713those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.
2714those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
2715those who criticize this generation forget who raised it.
2716those who dance are considered insane by those who can't hear the music.
2717those who do not move, do not notice their chains.
2718those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
2719those who don't read the newspaper are uninformed. those who do read the newspaper are misinformed.
2720those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
2721those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. this is a fault. those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. for these there is hope. they are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. there is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. books are well written, or badly written. that is all.
2722those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter.
2723those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
2724those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
2725those who say it can not be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
2726those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.
2727though nobody can go back and make a new beginning. anyone can start over and make a new ending.
2728thoughts on this quote.
2729thousand of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. happiness never decreases by being shared.
2730three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
2731three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
2732three things in human life are important, the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind.
2733three things to keep private. love life, income and next move.
2734time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
2735time has been transformed, and we have changed, it has advanced and set us in motion, it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
2736time is a drug. too much of it kills you.
2737time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.
2738time is how you spend your love.
2739time is just something we invented to make motion seem simple.
2740time is money.
2741time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
2742time makes more converts than reason.
2743time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.
2744time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.
2745time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
2746time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
2747times have not become more violent. they have just become more televised.
2748tis better to have loved and lostthan never to have loved at all.
2749to be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates.
2750to be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.
2751to be awake is to be alive.
2752to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
2753to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
2754to believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
2755to burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.
2756to choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.
2757to conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
2758to dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. to not dare is to lose oneself.
2759to define is to limit.
2760to describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power.
2761to do something well is so worthwhile, that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy.
2762to find yourself, think for yourself.
2763to go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
2764to laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to leave the world a better place to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. this is to have succeeded.
2765to live is the rarest thing in the world. most people exist, that is all.
2766to live would be an awfully big adventure.
2767to love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. it will not be broken, it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. to love is to be vulnerable.
2768to love. to be loved. to never forget your own insignificance. to never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. to seek joy in the saddest places. to pursue beauty to its lair. to never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. to respect strength, never power. above all, to watch. to try and understand. to never look away. and never, never to forget.
2769to me, fearless is not the absence of fear. it's not being completely unafraid. to me, fearless is having fears. fearless is having doubts. lots of them. to me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.
2770to rephrase tolstoy's famous line, all happiness is alike, but each pain is painful in its own way.
2771to succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.
2772to succeed, we must first believe that we can.
2773to the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.
2774to think is to differ.
2775to those who have given up on love, i say, trust life a little bit.
2776to try to be like another is to shrivel our soul.
2777today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
2778today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
2779today i shall behave, as if this is the day i will be remembered.
2780today is your day. your mountain is waiting, so get on your way.
2781today is your own. tomorrow perchance may never come.
2782today was good. today was fun. tomorrow is another one.
2783today you are you, that is truer than true. there is no one alive who is youer than you.
2784tolerance can't include hating people you think are intolerant. it's about how your beliefs lead you to treat those people.
2785toleration is the greatest gift of the mind, it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
2786tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. write a good one.
2787too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.
2788tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. it is the democracy of the dead. tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
2789trouble shared is trouble halved.
2790true freedom comes when you can accept others exactly as they are, no matter what.
2791true friends stab you in the front.
2792true friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.
2793true friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island. to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune, to keep him is a blessing.
2794true love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever.
2795true love is rare, and it's the only thing that gives life real meaning.
2796true terror is to wake up one morning and realize that your high school class is running the country.
2797true wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
2798trust is not needing to know everything.
2799trust those who seek the truth, and doubt those who say they have found it.
2800trust yourself. you know more than you think you do.
2801truth is one, the sages speak of it by many names.
2802truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, truth isn't.
2803truth is, everybody is going to hurt you. you just gotta find the one's worth suffering for.
2804truth never damages a cause that is just.
2805try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
2806try not to become a man of success. rather become a man of value.
2807try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
2808turn your wounds into wisdom.
2809twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. so throw off the bowlines. sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream. discover.
2810twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. so throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream.
2811two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful.
2812two possibilities exist, either we are alone in the universe or we are not. both are equally terrifying.
2813two roads diverged in a wood, and i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
2814two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the universe.
2815two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.
2816tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
2817ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
2818under pressure you don't rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training. that's why we train so hard.
2819understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.
2820unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. the past increases, the future recedes. possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.
2821unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. there are too many mediocre things in life, love shouldn't be one of them.
2822unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. it's not.
2823unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better, it's not.
2824unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
2825until i feared i would lose it, i never loved to read. one does not love breathing.
2826until we invent telepathy, books are our best choice for understanding the rest of humanity.
2827use what talents you possess, the woods will be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
2828useless laws weaken necessary laws.
2829vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. a person may be proud without being vain. pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
2830vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
2831waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. or waiting around for friday night or waiting perhaps for their uncle jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. everyone is just waiting.
2832waiting is painful. forgetting is painful. but not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
2833walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
2834walk through life eager and open to self improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that's really why were here, to evolve as human beings.
2835walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
2836wandering is super important, because thinking you know exactly where you're going is a kind of lack of humility that doesn't let you invent.
2837war is peace.freedom is slavery. ignorance is strength.
2838war is what happens when language fails.
2839war is when your government tells you who the enemy is, revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
2840war must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all, but i do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. i love only that which they defend.
2841watch your thoughts, they become words. watch your words, they become actions. watch your actions, they become habits. watch your habits, they become character. watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
2842watching political commercials is hazardous to the political health of the community.
2843water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. this shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.
2844we accept the love we think we deserve.
2845we accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.
2846we act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
2847we all die. the goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
2848we all have our time machines, don't we. those that take us back are memories.and those that carry us forward, are dreams.
2849we all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what to do with it. but once passed, it is gone forever.
2850we all know we're no good pieces of shit from the time we could breathe, after a while you just kind of become bad.
2851we always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.
2852we always romanticize that our elders are wise because of their years of experience. but you know what. stupid people get old too.
2853we are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
2854we are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
2855we are all broken. that's how the light gets in.
2856we are all dying, every moment that passes of every day. that is the inescapable truth of this existence.
2857we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
2858we are all lone souls. it pays to know humility, lest the delusion of control, of mastery, overwhelms. and, indeed, we seem a species prone to that delusion, again and ever again.
2859we are captives of our own identities, living in prisons of our own creation.
2860we are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. the trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
2861we are discreet sheep, we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove.
2862we are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. but we can understand the universe. that makes us something very special.
2863we are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
2864we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
2865we are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it.
2866we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
2867we ask 18 year olds to make huge decisions about their career and financial future, when a month ago they had to ask to go to the bathroom.
2868we become what we think about all day long. the question is, what do you think about.
2869we believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.and, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
2870we buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.
2871we call that person who has lost his father, an orphan, and a widower that man who has lost his wife. but that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him. here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
2872we can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
2873we can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
2874we can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. the only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. all art is quite useless.
2875we cannot have a world where everyone is a victim. i'm this way because my father made me this way. i'm this way because my husband made me this way. yes, we are indeed formed by traumas that happen to us. but you must take charge, you must take over, you are responsible.
2876we cannot solve our problems with the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
2877we cannot, in a moment, get rid of habits of a lifetime.
2878we cant control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond to things we cant control.
2879we delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
2880we do not need magic to transform our world. we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.
2881we don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
2882we don't need superheroes, we only need good people to stand against bad.
2883we don't receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
2884we don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
2885we dont care about the nameless gray faces were playing right now. this is man versus himself.
2886we fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. for me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. i'll never forget a single moment of it.
2887we hate some persons because we do not know them, and we will not know them because we hate them.
2888we have it in our power to begin the world over again.
2889we have the marvelous gift of making everything insignificant.
2890we have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets. it's time to put an end to this. it's time for us to let ourselves be loved.
2891we have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
2892we have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.
2893we have to do more than just elect a new president if we truly want to change this country.
2894we humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. we worry too much. we don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds and hearts to heal.
2895we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior.
2896we know no spectacle so ridiculous as the british public in one of its periodical fits of morality.
2897we know what we are, but not what we may be.
2898we live and breathe words. it was books that made me feel that perhaps i was not completely alone. they could be honest with me, and i with them. reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave, the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, i felt i felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. i felt i was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. i dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted and then i realized that truly i just wanted you.
2899we live for books.
2900we live in a decaying age. young people no longer respect their parents. they are rude and impatient. they frequently inhabit taverns and have no self control.
2901we live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
2902we live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private, and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
2903we love the things we love for what they are.
2904we loved with a love that was more than love.
2905we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
2906we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
2907we may encounter many defeats. but we must not be defeated.
2908we may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own.
2909we met for a reason, either you're a blessing or a lesson.
2910we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
2911we must all suffer from one of two pains, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. the difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
2912we must always take sides. neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
2913we must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
2914we must guard everyone's liberty, or we could lose our own. if we allow any minority to lose its freedom by persecution or by prejudice, we are threatening our own freedom, and this is not simply an idea, this is good hard common sense.
2915we must hurt in order to grow, fail in order to know, and lose in order to gain. because some lessons in life, are best learned through pain.
2916we must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
2917we must never be afraid to go too far, for success lies just beyond.
2918we must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.
2919we must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
2920we never really get rid of problems in life,as our role changes we just get its own set of problems its just how we deal with them that changes.
2921we plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
2922we read to know we're not alone.
2923we rise by lifting others.
2924we seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. i don't think it was, and i would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. if you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have a great time.
2925we shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
2926we should all start to live before we get too old. fear is stupid. so are regrets.
2927we should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. she will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well, but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
2928we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
2929we should not criticize those who trip by taking a more difficult than usual step.
2930we should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.
2931we spend the first year of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down.
2932we succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess, but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects.
2933we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
2934we tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we dont have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
2935we think in generalities, but we live in details.
2936we think too much and feel too little. more than machinery, we need humanity. more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. without these qualities, life would be violent, and all would be lost.
2937we walk alone in the world.
2938we want the facts to fit the preconceptions. when they don't, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions.
2939we weep for a birds cry, but not for a fish's blood. blessed are those with a voice.
2940we were together. i forget the rest.
2941we would never imagine that getting our heart's deepest desires might be the worst thing that can ever happen to us.
2942we write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans, because we can. we have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.
2943we write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
2944we'll settle this the old navy way the first one to die loses.
2945we're all a little weird. and life is a little weird. and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness and call it love true love.
2946we're all going to die, all of us, what a circus. that alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. we are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
2947we're all human, aren't we. every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
2948weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.
2949welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, he thought. for the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistible urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. yippee.
2950well begun is half done.
2951well behaved women seldom make history.
2952well enough for old folks to rise early, because they have done so many mean things all their lives they can't sleep anyhow.
2953well the rain ain't fussy.
2954well, it seems to me that the best relationships the ones that last are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. you know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. like a switch has been flicked somewhere. and the person who was just a friend is. suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
2955well, said pooh, what i like best, and then he had to stop and think. because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
2956well, you killed all the funny people.
2957well, you see, aborigines don't own the land.they belong to it. it's like their mother. see those rocks. been standing there for 600 million years. still be there when you and i are gone. so arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on.
2958were all going to die, all of us, what a circus. that alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. we are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
2959what a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.
2960what an astonishing thing a book is. one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. proof that humans are capable of working magic.
2961what are men to rocks and mountains.
2962what good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.
2963what happens after you die. lot's of things happen after you die they just don't involve you.
2964what i need is the dandelion in the spring. the bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. the promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. that it can be good again.
2965what i say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. it may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore, it knows it's not fooling a soul.
2966what i want is to be needed. what i need is to be indispensable to somebody. who i need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. somebody addicted to me. a mutual addiction.
2967what is a cynic. a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
2968what is a friend. a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
2969what is a hero, other than an everyday guy who refuses to let anything beat him.
2970what is better to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort.
2971what is freedom of expression. without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
2972what is happiness. the feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
2973what is love. i have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. his hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.
2974what is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable.
2975what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
2976what lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
2977what luck for the rulers that men do not think.
2978what makes us men is that we can think logically. what makes us human is that we sometimes choose not to.
2979what matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.
2980what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
2981what money can buy.
2982what once was thought can never be unthought.
2983what orators lack in depth they make up for in length.
2984what orwell failed to predict was that wed buy the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that nobody was watching.if you can't intelligently argue for both sides of an issue, you don't understand the issue well enough to argue for either.
2985what really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. that doesn't happen much, though.
2986what sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. these are but trifles, to be sure, but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
2987what we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
2988what we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and our present thoughts build our life tomorrow. our life is the creation of our mind.
2989what we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. it is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.
2990what we have once enjoyed we can never lose. all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
2991what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. our self importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.
2992what wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness.
2993what would men be without women. scarce, sir, mighty scarce.
2994what you do speaks so loudly that i cannot hear what you say.
2995what you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
2996what you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
2997what you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
2998what you must understand about me is that i'm a deeply unhappy person.
2999what you see in others exists in you.
3000what you seek is seeking you.
3001what you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. don't complain.
3002what, then, is time. if no one asks me, i know what it is. if i wish to explain it to him who asks, i do not know.
3003what's meant to be will always find a way.
3004whatever it is that you're trying to do with your life.
3005whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
3006whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
3007whatever you are, be a good one.
3008whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is important that you do it, because nobody else will.
3009when 99 percent of people doubt your idea, you're either gravely wrong or about to make history.
3010when a father gives to his son, both laugh. when a son gives to his father, both cry.
3011when a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. think up something appropriate and do it.
3012when a man gives his opinion, he's a man. when a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.
3013when a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
3014when a man loves cats, i am his friend and comrade without further introduction.
3015when a person tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't.
3016when adults say, teenagers think they are invincible with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. we need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. we think that we are invincible because we are. we cannot be born, and we cannot die. like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. they forget that when they get old. they get scared of losing and failing. but that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.
3017when all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm.
3018when all think alike, no one is thinking very much.
3019when angry, count to ten before you speak, if very angry, one hundred.
3020when art critics get together they talk about form and structure and meaning. when artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.
3021when dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. we are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures blistering with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.
3022when dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. we are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.
3023when everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
3024when faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. it works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.
3025when i became a man i put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
3026when i despair, i remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. think of it always.
3027when i die, i want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
3028when i discover who i am, i'll be free.
3029when i do good, i feel good. when i do bad, i feel bad. that's my religion.
3030when i examine myself and my methods of thought, i come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
3031when i hear somebody sigh, life is hard, i am always tempted to ask, compared to what.
3032when i let go of what i am, i become what i might be.
3033when i look at my room, i see a girl who loves books.
3034when i lost my rifle, the army charged me 85 dollars. that is why in the navy the captain goes down with the ship.
3035when i was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. when i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. i wrote down happy. they told me i didn't understand the assignment, and i told them they didn't understand life.
3036when i was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant i could hardly stand to have the old man around. but when i got to be 21, i was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
3037when i was a little girl i used to read fairy tales. in fairy tales you meet prince charming and he's everything you ever wanted. in fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. the bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. then you grow up and you realize that prince charming is not as easy to find as you thought. you realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot, he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.
3038when i was ten, i read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if i had been found doing so. now that i am fifty i read them openly. when i became a man i put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
3039when i was young, i observed that nine out of ten things i did were failures. so i did ten times more work.
3040when i'm lying in my bed, i think about life and i think about death, and neither one particularly appeals to me.
3041when i'm old and dying, i plan to look back on my life and say, wow, that was an adventure, not, wow, i sure felt safe.
3042when in doubt, do it.
3043when it comes down to it, i let them think what they want. if they care enough to bother with what i do, then i'm already better than them.
3044when it comes to pursuing your dreams, you should at least try, even if it's a near impossible field to compete in. at least that way, there will be no lingering doubts regarding whether you would have succeeded or not.
3045when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine any more, there's a rainbow in the clouds.
3046when life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye.
3047when love is not madness it is not love.
3048when men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.
3049when one door closes another door opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
3050when one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
3051when one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
3052when people admire the height of tower, the foundation chuckles.
3053when people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
3054when people ask what i see in you, i just smile and look away because i'm afraid if they knew they'd fall in love with you too.
3055when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
3056when someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. but if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.
3057when someone is trying very hard to get something, they don't. and when they're running away from something as hard as they can, it usually catches up with them.
3058when someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.
3059when someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. you feel safe and comfortable.
3060when someone shows you who they are believe them, the first time.
3061when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
3062when sophie died, i learned the strongest force in life is guilt. the hardest thing to overcome is shame. you have to look yourself in the mirror every single day and account for everything you've done wrong. you cant take it back.
3063when students cheat on exams it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning.
3064when the axe came into the woods, many of the trees said, at least the handle is one of us.
3065when the fully enlightened teachers do not appear and when the disciples have disappeared the wisdom of self enlightened one will arise completely without a teacher.
3066when the opponent expands, i contract. when he contracts, i expand. and when there is an opportunity, i do not hit. it hits all by itself.
3067when the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
3068when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
3069when the rich fight the rich, it is the poor who die.
3070when the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.
3071when there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
3072when thinking about life, remember this, no amount of guilt can solve the past & no amount of anxiety can change the future.
3073when two partners always agree, one of them is not necessary.
3074when we are not sure, we are alive.
3075when we exercise self control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. with each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
3076when we first met warren buffett, their host at dinner, gates mother,asked everyone around the table to identify what they believed was the single most important factor in their success through life. gates and buffett gave the same one word answer, focus.
3077when we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. the friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
3078when we love, we always strive to become better than we are. when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
3079when we were children, we used to think that when we were grown up we would no longer be vulnerable. but to grow up is to accept vulnerability, to be alive is to be vulnerable.
3080when you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. when you sit on a red hot cinder a second seems like an hour. that's relativity.
3081when you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is, and when you meet him he is going to win.
3082when you are studying any matter, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed.
3083when you completely trust a person without any doubt. you will automatically get one of two results.
3084when you do what you fear most, then you can do anything.
3085when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
3086when you have in money in hand, only you forget who are you. but when you do not have any money in your hand, the whole world forget who you are. it's life.
3087when you know you're meant to birth an idea into existence, feeling like a failure often means you're moments away from your biggest success.
3088when you start to see too many sycophants around your boss, it is time to quit the job.
3089when you stop chasing the wrong things.. you give the right things a chance to catch you.
3090when you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.
3091when you tear out a mans tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
3092when you were born, you cried, and the world rejoiced. live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
3093when you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place.
3094when you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. a best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, damn, that was fun.
3095when you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.
3096when you're studying abroad, you become like bonsai. you can take a bonsai out of his pot and put him somewhere else. but you can never put him in his old place again. the part you don't see, the roots, have become too big to ever fit in his old place again.
3097when you're young, you look at television.
3098when young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone and evil men want you dead, only then will you have done your share.
3099when your learn, teach. when you get, give.
3100when your mom dies you're the best memory of her. everything you do and say is a memory of her.
3101whenever i feel the need to exercise, i lie down until it goes away.
3102whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
3103whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
3104where all think alike, no one thinks very much.
3105where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore.
3106where there is great love, there are always wishes.
3107where there is love there is life.
3108where true fortitude dwells, loyalty, bounty, friendship, and fidelity may be found.
3109wherever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography, history, or science, it is killed.
3110whether or not money can buy happiness, it can buy freedom, and that's a big deal. also, lack of money is very stressful. in many ways, having enough money so that you don't stress about paying rent does more to change your wellbeing than having enough money to buy your own jet.
3111whether you think you can, or you think you can't you're right.
3112while i chased the extraordinary all over this chaotic world, your ordinariness brought calm in to my life.
3113who are you to judge the life i live.i know i'm not perfect and i don't live to be but before you start pointing fingers make sure you hands are clean.
3114who knows what true loneliness is not the conventional word but the naked terror. to the lonely themselves it wears a mask. the most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.
3115who said nights were for sleep.
3116who said this, i met a man with a dollar, we exchange dollars. we each have one dollar. i met a man with an idea. we exchange ideas, and we each have two ideas.
3117whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. and if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
3118whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
3119whoever is happy will make others happy, too.
3120whoever is trying to bring you down is already beneath you.
3121why are women. so much more interesting to men than men are to women.
3122why didn't i learn to treat everything like it was the last time. my greatest regret was how much i believed in the future.
3123why do people have to be this lonely. what's the point of it all. millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. why. was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness.
3124why do you go away. so that you can come back. so that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. and the people there see you differently, too. coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
3125why do you weep. did you think i was immortal.
3126why does the air force need expensive new bombers. have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining.
3127why fit in when you were born to stand out.
3128why is it that when you take advantage of a tax break for a corporation you are a good business person but when you take advantage of something that you need to not be hungry you're a moocher.
3129why not go out on a limb. that's where the fruit is.
3130why should i be sad. i have lost someone who didn't love me. but they lost someone who loved them.
3131why spend a dollar on a bookmark. why not use the dollar as a bookmark.
3132why, sometimes i've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
3133wicked people never have time for reading. it's one of the reasons for their wickedness.
3134wisdom begins at the end.
3135wisdom begins in wonder.
3136wisdom has its root in goodness, not goodness its root in wisdom.
3137wisdom is a sacred communion.
3138wisdom is knowing we are all one. love is what it feels like and compassion is what it acts like.
3139wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
3140wise men are instructed by reason, men of less understanding, by experience, the most ignorant, by necessity, the beasts, by nature.
3141wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something.
3142wise men talk because they have something to say, fools, because they have to say something.
3143wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.
3144with freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy.
3145with great power. comes great need to take a nap. wake me up later.
3146within you is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
3147without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.
3148without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
3149without music, life would be a mistake.
3150without pain, how could we know joy. this is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.
3151without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.

3161work expands to fill the time available for its completion.

3163work like you don't need the money. love like you've never been hurt. dance like nobody's watching.
3164worry about your character, not your reputation. your character is who you are. your reputation is who people think you are.

3177yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, which is why we call it the present.
3178yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
3179yesterday, today was tomorrow, and tomorrow, today will be yesterday.
3180yet living and dying, honor and dishonor, pain and pleasure, riches and poverty, and so forth are equally the lot of good men and bad. things like these neither elevate nor degrade, and therefore they are no more good than they are evil.

3182you alone are enough. you have nothing to prove to anybody.
3183you and i, we were never a love story. but i wish we could've been. you and i would have been such some beautiful letters together. r.r.

3185you are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. and you are beautiful.
3186you are my best friend as well as my lover, and i do not know which side of you i enjoy the most. i treasure each side, just as i have treasured our life together.

3207you can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.

3230you could rattle the stars, she whispered. you could do anything, if only you dared. and deep down, you know it, too. that's what scares you most.

3245you don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.
3246you don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own. and when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. unfortunately, you can't be that precise and selective. when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. everything, affects everything.
3247you don't know what you can get away with until you try.
3248you don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.
3249you don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.
3250you don't need a new year to make a change. all you need is a monday. make this the week you change your life.

3252you don't remember what happened. what you remember becomes what happened.
3253you educate a man, you educate a man. you educate a woman, you educate a generation.
3254you ever wonder what this pocket is for.
3255you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. you are able to say to yourself, i have lived through this horror. i can take the next thing that comes along. you must do the thing you think you cannot do.
3256you gave me a forever within the numbered days, and i'm grateful.
3257you get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place. like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again.
3258you have brains in your head. you have feet in your shoes. you can steer yourself any direction you choose. you're on your own. and you know what you know. and you are the one who'll decide where to go.
3259you have enemies. good. that means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
3260you have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. how. by giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
3261you have power over your mind, not outside events. realize this, and you will find strength.

3267you here to finish me off, sweetheart.
3268you is kind. you is smart. you is important.
3269you know time is long, and life is short. begin to live while you still can.
3270you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
3271you know your shortcomings yet you love yourself. how come you hate others for their shortcomings.
3272you know, it's funny, when you look at someone through rose colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.
3273you know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music.
3274you know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. it's not overrated. there's a reason for all those songs.
3275you know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him.
3276you live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. even the inside of your own mind is endless. the fact that you're alive is amazing, so you don't get to say i'm bored.
3277you lost a person that don't love you, she lost a person that loved her. her loss.
3278you love me. real or not real. i tell him, real.

3283you may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
3284you may not be able to alter reality, but you can alter your attitude towards it, and this, paradoxically, alters reality. try it and see.
3285you may not be her first, her last, or her only. she loved before she may love again. but if she loves you now, what else matters. she's not perfect you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. she may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break her heart. so don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.
3286you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
3287you may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one. i hope someday you'll join us. and the world will live as one.
3288you may say you're against status. but if you filled a room with people who said they were anti status, a hierarchy would soon form based on how anti status they are.
3289you might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.
3290you might not have been my first love but you were the love that made all the other loves irrelevant.
3291you must be shapeless, formless, like water. when you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. when you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. when you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. water can drip and it can crash. become like water my friend.

3297you must not fight too often with one enemy or you will teach him all your art of war.
3298you must not lose faith in humanity. humanity is like an ocean, if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
3299you must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
3300you need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. this is a power you can cultivate. if you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. that's the only thing you should be trying to control.
3301you never fail until you stop trying.
3302you never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.
3303you never knew the truth, and you never will know the truth. the truth you never know.
3304you never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.
3305you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. and just when you think it can't get any better, it can.
3306you never understand anybody that loves you.
3307you pierce my soul. i am half agony, half hope. i have loved none but you.
3308you realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.
3309you realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. all efforts to save me from you will fail.
3310you really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. that is really what were all trying to do, become more of ourselves.
3311you see things, you say, why. but i dream things that never were, and i say why not.
3312you see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals. on the contrary we would all celebrate its tenacity. we would all love its will to reach the sun. well, we are the roses, this is the concrete, and these are my damaged petals.
3313you should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.
3314you should never turn a man's generosity as a sword against him. any virtue that a man has, even if he has many vices, should not be used as a tool against him.
3315you should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you're too busy, then you should sit for an hour.
3316you show people what you're willing to fight for when you fight your friends.
3317you smell good, too.
3318you speak an infinite deal of nothing.
3319you spend your whole life looking for the adult that you are, and you spend the rest of your life looking for the child that you were.
3320you talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
3321you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.
3322you very rarely need to cut people from your life, but you need to put them in their place.
3323you want my opinion. we're all a little weird. and life's a little weird. and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness and call it love true love.
3324you were born to do more than just go to work, pay bills and die.
3325you were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life.
3326you were the only sun i had in my life. but i should have know that every sun goes back down again.
3327you will always be fond of me. i represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.
3328you will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
3329you will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
3330you will fall in love with me. then, just months later, you will fall out. i will pretend the entire time that i don't know its coming.
3331you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
3332you will never imprison my mind.
3333you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
3334you will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head, be kind to yourself.
3335you will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
3336you won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.

3340you'll be fine. you're 25. feeling unsure and lost is part of your path. don't avoid it. see what those feelings are showing you and use it. take a breath. you'll be okay. even if you don't feel okay all the time.
3341you'll end up really disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them. not everyone has the same heart as you.
3342you'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
3343you'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.
3344you're alive only once, as far as we know, and what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn't lived it.
3345you're alive. do something. the directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. it could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. it sounded like this, look. listen. choose. act.
3346you're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. but in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. it's actions, not words, that matter.
3347you're just as capable of those you envy.
3348you're never going to learn something as profoundly as when it's purely out of curiosity.
3349you're not afraid of the truth. your afraid of dealing with it.
3350you're off to great places. today is your day. your mountain is waiting, so get on your way.
3351you're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.
3352your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.
3353your beliefs don't make you a better person. your behavior does.
3354your decisions are manipulated by your own point of view.
3355your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
3356your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. and your mind will punish you for believing both.
3357your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
3358your rights matter because you never know when you're going to need them.
3359your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
3360your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary.
3361your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
3362your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
3363your world dies before you do.
3364your worst enemies won't harm you as much your own unguarded thoughts.
3365youth can not know how age thinks and feels, but old men are guilty if they forget what it is to be young.
3366zero tolerance is simply a way for people who don't want to think to regulate others. it excuses them from having to consider every factor, come up with a wise and logical course of action, and to stand behind that action and defend it with an equal amount of wisdom and confidence.
