    Robert A. Heinlein
    “Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.”
    Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

  • #2
    Steve Jobs
    “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”
    Steve Jobs

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
    “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    Herbert M. Shelton
    “Surgeons can cut out everything except cause.”
    Herbert M. Shelton

  • #7
    Primo Levi
    “...the sea's only gifts are harsh blows and, occasionally, the chance to feel strong. Now, I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing blind, deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your own hands and your own head...”
    Primo Levi

    Primo Levi
    “You who live safe
    In your warm houses,
    You who find warm food
    And friendly faces when you return home.
    Consider if this is a man
    Who works in mud,
    Who knows no peace,
    Who fights for a crust of bread,
    Who dies by a yes or no.
    Consider if this is a woman
    Without hair, without name,
    Without the strength to remember,
    Empty are her eyes, cold her womb,
    Like a frog in winter.
    Never forget that this has happened.
    Remember these words.
    Engrave them in your hearts,
    When at home or in the street,
    When lying down, when getting up.
    Repeat them to your children.
    Or may your houses be destroyed,
    May illness strike you down,
    May your offspring turn their faces from you.”
    Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz

    Italo Calvino
    “The city of Leonia refashions itself every day: every morning the people wake between fresh sheets, wash with just-unwrapped cakes of soap, wear brand-new clothing, take from the latest model refrigerator still unopened tins, listening to the last-minute jingles from the most up-to-date radio.
    On the sidewalks, encased in spotless plastic bags, the remains of yesterday's Leonia await the garbage truck. Not only squeezed tubes of toothpaste, blown-out light bulbs, newspapers, containers, wrappings, but also boilers, encyclopedias, pianos, porcelain dinner services.

    It is not so much by the things that each day are manufactured, sold, bought, that you can measure Leonia's opulence, but rather by the things that each day are thrown out to make room for the new.

    So you begin to wonder if Leonia's true passion is really , as they say, the enjoyment of new things, and not, instead, the joy of expelling, discarding, cleansing itself of a recurrent impurity. The fact is that street cleaners are welcomed like angels.”
    Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

  • #10
    Fernando Pessoa
    “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
    Fernando Pessoa

  • #11
    Woody Allen
    “If Jesus came back and saw what was being done in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.”
    Woody Allen, Hannah and Her Sisters

  • #12
    Woody Allen
    “If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.”
    Woody Allen

  • #13
    “You don't need another Human Being to make your life complete, but let's be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn't see them as disasters In your soul, but cracks to put their love into, Is the most calming thing In this World.”
    Emery Allen

  • #14
    Woody Allen
    “My brain? That's my second favorite organ.”
    Woody Allen

    Woody Allen
    “I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.”
    Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay

    Amanda Mosher
    “There is nothing more beautiful than a vulnerable heart in open hands.”
    Amanda Mosher, Better to be able to love than to be loveable

    “If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.”
    David Livingstone

    Virginia Woolf
    “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
    Virginia Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Three, 1923-1928

  • #19

    Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time
    tags: love

  • #20
    Marcel Proust
    “Love is not vain because it is frustrated, but because it is fulfilled. The people we love turn to ashes when we posess them.”
    Marcel Proust, Remembrance of Things Past: Volume II - The Guermantes Way & Cities of the Plain

    Andrena Sawyer
    “There are two types of limitations: those others place on us, and those we place on ourselves. One is more subtle. Both are equally dangerous.”
    Andrena Sawyer

  • #22
    Ravindra Shukla
    “When people of similar frequencies come together, output is not a simple sum of individual work, but exponential. In science we term this phenomenon as resonance. Output at this stage is beyond any logical limit.”
    Ravindra Shukla, A Maverick Heart: Between Love and Life

  • #23
    Leo Tolstoy
    “If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.”
    leo tolstoy, War and Peace

  • #24
    Steve Jobs
    “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
    Steve Jobs

  • #25
    Steve Jobs
    “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.”
    Steve Jobs

  • #26
    Steve Jobs
    “You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.”
    Steve Jobs

  • #27
    Steve Jobs
    “Focusing is about saying No.”
    Steve Jobs

    Beats all the lies you can invent.”
    William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
