“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
― Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“இன்னும் சற்று நேரத்தில் மின்சாரத் தீயில் அழியப்போகிறது எனக்கு உயிர் தந்த உடல். நேற்றுவரை அப்பா ஓர் உயிர்; இன்று உடல். நாளை வெறும் சொல். கடைசியில் எல்லா மனிதர்களும் வெறும் சொல்லாகித்தான் போகிறார்கள். அந்தச் சொல்லை உச்சரித்துக்கொண்டேயிருக்கும் கடைசி மனிதனோடு இரண்டாம் மரணம் அடைகிறார்கள்; அவ்வளவுதான்.”
― Vairamuthu, Vairamuthu Sirukathaigal

“None but ourselves can free our minds.”
― Bob Marley
