life

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes."

"Because I trust in the ever-changing climate of the heart. (At least, today I feel that way.) I think it is necessary to have many experiences for the sake of feeling something; for the sake of being challenged, and for the sake of being expressive, to offer something to someone else, to learn what we are capable of."

"When all else fails, there's always delusion."

"One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared."

"The spirit of a man is constructed out of his choices."

"An empty coffee cup is full of hope. Now there’s something worth voting for."

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."

"You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life."

"The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments."

"Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life - all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity."

"Life is so full of unpredictable beauty and strange surprises. Sometimes that beauty is too much for me to handle. Do you know that feeling? When something is just too beautiful? When someone says something or writes something or plays something that moves you to the point of tears, maybe even changes you."

"If no one cares for you at all, do you even really exist?"

"Anything that doesn't take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing."

"Life is full of luck, like getting dealt a good hand, or simply by being in the right place at the right time. Some people get luck handed to them, a second chance, a save. It can happen heroically, or by a simple coincidence , but there are those who don’t get luck on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved."

"Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life."
