Albert Camus
“Somebody has to have the last word. Otherwise, every reason can be answered with another one and there would never be an end to it. Power, on the other hand, settles everything…We no longer say as in simple times: “This is the way I think. What are your objections?” We have become lucid. For the dialogue we have substituted the communique: “This is the truth,” we say. “You can discuss it as much as you want; we aren't interested.”
Albert Camus, The Fall

Bob Marley
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
Bob Marley

Bob Marley
“The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”
Bob Marley

Fernando Pessoa
“Since we can't extract beauty from life, let's at least try to extract beauty from not being able to extract beauty from life.”
Fernando Pessoa

Will Durant
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
Will Durant
