    "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

  • E.B. White

  • Sarah Dessen

  • Maya Angelou
    "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
    Maya Angelou

  • Mother Teresa
    "At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.

    Mother Teresa


  • Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    "People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...

    "They don't find it," I answered.

    "And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

    "Of course," I answered.

    And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart." "
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)


  • Erma Bombeck
    "When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it's a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway."
    Erma Bombeck


  • Dalai Lama XIV
    "The Dalai Lama's Instructions for life:

    Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

    When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

    Follow the three R's:
    - Respect for self.
    - Respect for others.
    - Responsibility for all your actions.

    Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

    Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

    Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

    When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

    Spend some time alone everyday.

    Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

    A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

    In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

    Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

    Be gentle with the earth.

    Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

    Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

    Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

    Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon."

  • Hunter S. Thompson

  • Audrey Niffenegger
    "I wish for a moment that time would lift me out of this day, and into some more benign one. But then I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness; dead people need us to remember them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say "I'm sorry" until it is as meaningless air."

  • Jack Kerouac
    "I have lots of things to teach you now, in case we ever meet,
    concerning the message that was transmitted to me under a pine tree
    in North Carolina on a cold winter moonlit night. It said that
    Nothing Ever Happened, so don't worry. It's all like a dream.
    Everything is ecstasy, inside. We just don't know it because of our thinking-minds.
    But in our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright
    forever and forever and forever. Close your eyes, let your hands
    and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence
    inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson
    you forgot, which was taught in immense milky way soft cloud innumerable worlds
    long ago and not even at all. It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity.
    It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do
    with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere:
    Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing.
    It's a dream already ended. There's nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about.
    I know this from staring at mountains months on end. They never show any expression,
    they are like empty space. Do you think the emptiness of space will ever crumble away?
    Mountains will crumble, but the emptiness of space, which is the one universal essence
    of mind, the vast awakenerhood, empty and awake, will never crumble away because
    it was never born."
    Selected Letters 1957-1969 and is a letter he wrote to his first wife, Edie in 1957."
    Jack Kerouac (The Portable Jack Kerouac)


  • Sylvia Plath

  • Chuck Palahniuk
    "One minute was enough, Tyler said, "A person had to work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection."

  • Shel Silverstein
    "It was missing a piece.
    And it was not happy.
    So it set off in search
    of its missing piece.
    And as it rolled
    it sang this song - "Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
    I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
    Hi-dee-ho, here I go,
    Lookin' for my missin' piece.""
    Shel Silverstein

  • Erma Bombeck
    "IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

    I would have talked less and listened more.

    I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

    I would have eaten the popcorn in the "good" living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

    I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather rambling about his youth.

    I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

    I would have burned the pink candle sculped like a rose before it melted
    in storage.

    I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television, and more
    while watching life.

    I would have gone to bed when I was sick, instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

    I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

    Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment, realising that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

    When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

    There would have been more "I love you's" and more "I'm sorry's"

    . . . but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute . . .
    look at it and really see it . . . and never give it back."
    Erma Bombeck

  • Shel Silverstein

    Tell me I'm cute,
    Tell me I'm sensitive,
    Graceful and Wise
    Tell me I'm perfect--
    But tell me the TRUTH."

    "The Voice

    There is a voice inside of you
    That whispers all day long,
    "I feel this is right for me,
    I know that this is wrong."
    No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
    Or wise man can decide
    What's right for you--just listen to
    The voice that speaks inside."
    Shel Silverstein (Falling Up)
