"Do not destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune. But, all the dead are dead alike." - C.S. Lewis "We judge ourselves by our intent and others by their actions." - Friedrich Nietzsche 'The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.' - Friedrich Nietzsche Still we carry on "The loneliest people can be the kindest. The saddest people sometimes smile the brightest. The most damaged people are filled with wisdom. All because they do not wish the pain they've endured from another soul.” Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. -Isaac Asimov Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. - Epicurus "When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death, and neither one particularly appeals to me" - Morrissey What would you do if you wern't afraid “He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.” - Elbert Hubbard “Worry about today, for tomorrow has it's own worries.” - Jesus? "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox “Nobody is responsible for your happiness except you.” I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone. The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. – Albert Einstein

And, one by one, I didn't become any of them. - The Pursuit of Happyness"I have a theory in life: I never want to say the words 'I should have.'"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.I live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here.Be happy for no reason. Like a child. If you are happy for a reason, youre in trouble, because that reason can be taken from youChildren are happy because they dont have a file in their mind called all the things that can go wrongI never learned from a man who agreed with me. Robert HeinleinNobody is responsible for your happiness except you.I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. Its not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. - Alan Watts"If you look for the light, you can always find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see" -Uncle Iroh LoKEvery night and every morn, some to misery are born. Every morn and every night, some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to sweet delight, Others born to endless night. -William BlakeDont take life so seriously, its not like youre going to get out alive.I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. Mahatma GandhiI cant stand it to think that my life is going so fast and Im not really living itFaster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death Hunter S. ThompsonGreat minds discuss ideas.Average minds discuss events.Small minds discuss people - Eleanor RooseveltWhen asked how they managed to stay together for 65 years, the woman replied, We were born in a time where if something was broke, you fixed it.. Not throw it away.All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry. ? Edgar Allan PoeI spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted. -- W.C. Fields"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." Charles Bukowski"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing." Charles Bukowski"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 (Factotum)"what matters most is how well you walk through the fire" Charles BukowskiThe reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be. Marcel PagnolLive a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you baised on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved onesDare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light. Norman B. RiceThose who get rich off of war seldom have to do the fighting.Ideology separates us, dreams and anguish bring us together.Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell. - Joan CrawfordMake no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling 'Don't!' and 'Hang on!', can understand the jump. Not really. David Foster Wallace"To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it." - Charlie Chaplin"I've been called worse things by better people."Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is be both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god? Epictetus"Quisque suos patimur Manes""Each of us bears his own Hell." - Virgil"You judge yourself by your intentions but you judge others by their actions."Find what you love and let it kill youWe are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us."All the water in the Ocean can't sink a ship unless it gets inside.""One day I sat thinking, almost in despair; a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said reassuringly: cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse." James Hagerty"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius
