“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.

—"Old Man's Advice to Youth: 'Never Lose a Holy Curiosity.'" LIFE Magazine (2 May 1955) p. 64”
― Albert Einstein

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.”
― Tupac Shakur

“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, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“Don't live the same year 75 times and call it a life.”

“Imaćeš je, dakle, sve dotle dok budeš u stanju da je krotiš u krevetu, a da istovremeno budeš nežan, mekan i odlučan, perverzan i žestok, lezbejka i makro, istovremeno; otac i učitelj,
incestuozni brat i Senegalac u live showu na Pigalu, koji tuca pred
publikom, ravnodušan poput ljubavne mašine, nežan kao najbolja
drugarica sa davnog letovanja u Makarskoj (prvi put na moru: lepljiva
sparina i slana noć u belim plahtama pokraj širom otvorenih prozora), da,
kao najbolja prijateljica koja ti dira nabubrele bradavice puna strepnje da
se taj pokret ne protumači pogrešno, na ivici tabu-ljubavi; ali to ni izdaleka
nije sve - potrebno je biti snažan, treba znati zadati onaj bolnoslatki
završni udarac od koga prskaju bubnjići, a sperma šiklja kao mlaz iz
vatrogasnog šmrka.”
― Momo Kapor, Una

“Never apologize for showing your feelings. When you do, you are apologizing for the truth.”
― José N. Harris, MI VIDA: A Story of Faith, Hope and Love

“It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, The Man Upstairs and Other Stories

“Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment.”
― Mario Puzo, The Godfather

“When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“Hiljadu nečijih srećnih časaka biće kao ovaj, ali ovaj nikada više. Hiljadu tuđih ljubavi biće kao ova, ali ova nikada više. Nikada: jedina konačnost. Prvi put znam šta je sreća, osjećam je, vidim, mirišem. Cio svijet i cijela vasiona, nas troje. Nikog drugog osim nas nema.”
― Mesa Selimovic

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
