“If something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not.

― Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

“If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.”
― Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack
