People are unhappy when they get something too easily. You have to sweat--that's the only moral they know.
Just living is not enough, said the butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
It wasn’t my day. My week. My month. My year. My life. God damn it.
Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins
There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird. But I'll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional.
Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. I wish you all very good lives.
We only need to be one person. We only need to feel one existence. We don't have to do everything in order to be everything, because we are already infinite. While we are alive we always contain a future of multifarious possibility.
People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.
Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')
Be happy, but never satisfied.
You can live your whole life not realizing that what you're looking for is right in front of you.
I am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem unaware even that they are deceiving one another.
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
But I have learned that you make your own happiness, that part of going for what you want means losing something else. And when the stakes are high, the losses can be that much greater.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.
How terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary as living.
