    Graham Greene
    “Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either extreme egotism, selfishness, evil -- or else an absolute ignorance.”
    Graham Greene, The Heart of the Matter

  • #2
    Criss Jami
    “If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #3
    “Escape from reality. In some instances, dissociation induces people to imagine that they have some kind of mastery over intractable environmental difficulties. Dissociation is often implicated in magical thinking or self-induced trance states. This aspect of dissociation is frequently found in abuse survivors. It is not uncommon for abused children to engage in magical thinking to retain an illusion of control over the situation (e.g., believing that they "cause" the perpetrator to act out).”
    Marlene Steinberg

    Brooke Hampton
    “Follow your heart and take a chance that you'll be wrong. Take a chance that maybe you'll fuck it all up and everyone will say you're crazy. What's the worst that can happen? Face that fear and accept it. Because to silence your heart and forget your dreams is to die while living. LIVE. Don't let the world scare you into being something you're not. Get out there and risk the unusual or you'll have to settle for the ordinary. So, no-one else has done it before? There is no road map for you to follow? Then, you be the first! Pave the way for someone else. Find your courage and follow your heart.
    Be brave, wild one, be brave.”
    Brooke Hampton

  • #5
    Brooke Hampton
    “It's okay. Don't feel bad. Stop beating yourself up. Nothing lasts forever. People come and people go. We cross paths, sometimes even travel together for a bit- to learn from each other. Stop trying to hold onto what is no longer meant to be. Yes, sometimes we need to stay even when it doesn't feel good because we still have something to learn, something to do there. But our souls will die if they stay in places they don't belong. You know the difference. Listen to your heart. If you stay when you've been told to go, you'll stop growing! Go! Give yourself permission to outgrow people and places.
    It's okay.”
    Brooke Hampton

  • #6
    Brooke Hampton
    “I'm sorry, I will not change what I am or pretend to be something else just so that you will like me. Why? Because I don't want to wake up one day and realize that everyone likes me...except me!”
    Brooke Hampton

  • #7
    Brooke Hampton
    “Admire other people's beauty and talent without questioning your own. Let people live their truth without it threatening yours. Be truly happy when others are blessed. Learn from everyone, but compare yourself to no-one. Stop striving to be better than others and just work toward being better than who you were yesterday. Don't waste time pointing out other people's flaws or you won't have enough time to focus on all of yours.”
    Brooke Hampton

  • #8
    Brooke Hampton
    “I like people who get excited about the change of seasons, the sound of the ocean, watching a sunset, the smell of rain and starry nights.”
    Brooke Hampton

  • #9
    Seneca
    “If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
    Seneca the Younger

  • #10
    Seneca
    “It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.”
    Lucius Annaeus Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

  • #11
    Seneca
    “It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. ”
    Seneca

  • #12
    Seneca
    “The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”
    Seneca, Natural Questions

  • #13
    Seneca
    “What is harder than rock? What is softer than water? Yet hard rocks are hollowed out by soft water?”
    Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Natural Questions

  • #14
    Orson Scott Card
    “So from then on, he looked at all his choices and said, What would a good person do, and then did it. But he has now learned something very important about human nature. If you spend your whole life pretending to be good, then you are indistinguishable from a good person. Relentless hypocrisy eventually becomes the truth.”
    Orson Scott Card, Ender in Exile

  • #15
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Hypocrisy
    /hi pakrise/ noun

    1. The moment you tell someone it is not important to be right, in order to look right to everyone else.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #16
    Jess C. Scott
    “What's the whole point of being pretty on the outside when you’re so ugly on the inside?”
    Jess C. Scott, I'm Pretty

  • #17
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Narcissists are consumed with maintaining a shallow false self to others. They're emotionally crippled souls that are addicted to attention. Because of this they use a multitude of games, in order to receive adoration. Sadly, they are the most ungodly of God's creations because they don't show remorse for their actions, take steps to make amends or have empathy for others. They are morally bankrupt.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #18
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Don't waste your time trying to provide people with proof of deceit, in order to keep their love, win their love or salvage their respect for you. The truth is this: If they care they will go out of their way to learn the truth. If they don't then they really don't value you as a human being. The moment you have to sell people on who you are is the moment you let yourself believe that every good thing you have ever done or accomplished was invisible to the world. And, it is not!”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #19
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Being kind to someone, only to look kind to others, defeats the purpose of being kind.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #20
    Leo Tolstoy
    “What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.”
    Leo Tolstoy

  • #21
    Leo Tolstoy
    “Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.”
    Leo Tolstoy, Война и мир

  • #22
    Herbert A. Simon
    “...a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention...”
    Herbert A. Simon

  • #23
    Eugene O'Neill
    “It was a great mistake, my being born a man, I would have been much more successful as a seagull or a fish. As it is, I will always be a stranger who never feels at home, who does not really want and is not really wanted, who can never belong, who must be a little in love with death!”
    Eugene O'Neill

  • #24
    “I do not know, I cannot imagine, any group which does not include among its current ideas an enormous dose of lies. That being the case, the alternative is inevitable: either one must like falsehood, or one must dislike the familiar setting of daily life.”44 Simon sees that if lies prevail in social life and if truth is necessary for one’s full humanity, daily life with others is virtually unbearable.”
    Zena Hitz, Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life

  • #25
    “Gentlemen, you are now about to embark on a course of studies which will occupy you for two years. Together, they form a noble adventure. But I would like to remind you of an important point. Nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life, save only this, that if you work hard and intelligently you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education.”
    John Alexander Smith

  • #26
    Plato
    “Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.”
    Plato

  • #27
    Plato
    “Love is a serious mental disease.”
    Plato, Phaedrus

  • #28
    Philip K. Dick
    “Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.”
    Philip K. Dick

  • #29
    H.P. Lovecraft
    “The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”
    H. P. Lovecraft

  • #30
    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
    “It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”
    Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
