    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Be motivated like the falcon,
    hunt gloriously.

    fight to win.

    the other only color.”

    Shinji Moon
    “I am not as strong as my words pretend to be. Not

    Shinji Moon, The Anatomy of Being

    Haruki Murakami
    “Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
    Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

    M.L. Stedman

    M.L. Stedman
    “And the stars: the sky gets crowded at night, and it is a bit like watching a clock, seeing the constellations slide across the sky. It’s comforting to know that they’ll show up, however bad the day has been, however crook things get. That used to help in France. It put things into perspective—the stars had been around since before there were people. They just kept shining, no matter what was going on. I think of the light here like that, like a splinter of a star that’s fallen to earth: it just shines, no matter what is happening. Summer, winter, storm, fine weather. People can rely on it.”
    M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

    Alan             Moore
    “In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.”
    Alan Moore, Watchmen

    Umberto Eco
    “Everything is repeated, in a circle. History is a master because it teaches us that it doesn't exist. It's the permutations that matter.”
    Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum

  • #11
    Chuck Palahniuk
    “There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns.
    If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself.
    What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish.
    There is no free will.
    There are no variables.”
    Chuck Palahniuk, Survivor

    Anthony Hopkins
