"How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em."
— Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends)

"He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."
— Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)"
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"How does it feel, how does it feel to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone."
— Bob Dylan

"He was fabulously wealthy, but he would pretend to be broke, and often tried to borrow cigarettes and money from people. Little did they know that those who gave him stuff would later be rewarded in his will, with jewels and antigravity helmets. Women who refused to have sex with him are probably wishing that they could turn back the clock and say yes."
— Jack Handey

"Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere. (City of Glass)
"
— Paul Auster (The New York Trilogy: City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room)

"Leave the problems of God to God and karma to karma. Today you're here and nothing you do will change that. Today you are alive and here and honored and blessed with good fortune. Look at this suset, it's beautiful, neh? This sunset exists. Tomorrow does not exist. There is only now. Please look. It is so beautiful and it will never happen ever again, never, not this sunset, never in all infinity. Lose yourself in it, make yourself one with nature and do not worry about karma, yours, mine, or that of the village. "
— James Clavell

"Algy: I really don't see what is so romantic about proposing. One may be accepted - one usually is, I believe - and then the excitement is ended. The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

"Un lucru pe care putem să-1 recunoaştem este că
frecventarea marilor opere, folosirea minţii proprii, citirea
lucrărilor unor genii, chiar dacă nu te face cu certitudine
inteligent, face riscul mai probabil. Desigur, există oameni
care au citit Freud, Platon, care ştiu să jongleze cu cuarci şi
să deosebească un şoim-călător de un vinde-reu, şi care
să fie nişte imbecili. Cu toate acestea, potenţial, în contact
cu o multitudine de stimuli şi lăsîndu-ţi spiritul să
frecventeze o atmosferă stimulatoare, inteligenţa găseşte
un teren favorabil dezvoltării ei, exact la fel ca o boală.
Căci inteligenţa este o boală.""
— Martin Page

"... once you were in, they put a note in your file that said you were in therapy, and all your teachers saw that file. They might as well have tattooed CRAZY on your forehead. The next year every teacher would be watching you for the first weird thing you did—and has there ever been a kid who never does anything an adult considers weird?
