“I am saying something about the ineffable. I am saying something about the ultimate mystery. You can understand it, yet you can never understand it totally. It is elusive, it escapes. It is within reach, but it is not within grasp. You are always coming closer and closer to it, but you never arrive. And the day you arrive, then you are no more there; the distinction between the seeker and the sought disappears."
They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow.
The best pillow is one with a heartbeat. - Christopher Tao <3
Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty 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. Discover. -Twain

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
The beauty of a soul surfaces in the most rare of occasions.
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of some enthusiasm.
Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.
Children are all foreigners.
The world belongs to the energetic.
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds
Its not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand in rapt awe is as good as dead; his eyes closed to the world.
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion
Joy in looking and comprehending is natures most beautiful gift
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Most people say it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong; it is character.
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the light details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
The process of scientific discover is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination
Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear
If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.
Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great.
Every artist was first an amateur.
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
The best effect of fine persons is felt after we have left their presence.

“Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.”
Your 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. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Steve Jobs
“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”

“I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. Happiness 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.”

For what are classics but the noblest thoughts of man?
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
Friends... They cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
“However mean you life is, meet and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts… Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. Money is not required to buy one necessary of the soul.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings. It consist mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever flowing through one's head.”
“Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.”
“Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessaries.”
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
“All good things are wild and free.”
