#living-life

"I like living in my head because in there, everyone is kind and innocent. Once you start integrating yourself into the world, you realize that people are nasty, mean creatures. They're worse than zombies. People try to crush your soul and destroy your happiness, but zombies just want to have a little nibble of your brain."

"Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are."

"It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live."

"You do not give your precious body to the billy clubs of Birmingham sheriffs, nor to the insidious activity of the streets."

"The most adventurous journey to embark on; is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait of your soul."

"Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind."

"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning."

"Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author."

"Don't think about making life better for other people who don't even deserve you, rather, focus on making your life the best, for yourself and those who love you."

"Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones."

"It is not where we are that matters nor what we have, it is what we do with where we are and what we have."

"Life is still better than University. In school, your teacher is the fruit picker and you are the open fruit basket. Then you take those fruits and make cakes and pies. But life is going to give you the chance to go out there and pick those fruits yourself. Then you can eat them, or make them into something else; any which way, your own hands picked them!"

"To live, to TRULY live, we must be willing to RISK. To be nothing in order to find everything. To leap before we look."

"To pursue wisdom is to live in such a way that one is prepared to face death when it comes. (247)"

"I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human."

"We are pathfinders on a mission, Beholders following the Light, Runners gunning for the prize and Fighters remaining focused...You have been described, do not accept any other description!"

"Humanity does not suffer from the disease of wrong beliefs but humanity suffers from the contagious nature of the lack of belief. If you have no magic with you it is not because magic does not exist but it is because you do not believe in it. Even if the sun shines brightly upon your skin every day, if you do not believe in the sunlight, the sunlight for you does not exist."

"Do you really believe in destiny?""How can I not believe in destiny, when there is no difference between my memories and my dreams at night? There's no difference between their reality. And if I dream something first, I remember it later when I am actually walking in the place or looking at the person I first dreamed of. Days later. Or years later. Destiny~ she walks with me."

"It is not needful for our dreams to be very grand nor very big. It is only needful for our dreams to be very shiny."

"To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it."
