Ernest Hemingway
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Horacio Jones
I like being alone. I have control over my own shit. Therefore, in order to win me over, your presence has to feel better than my solitude. You're not competing with another person, you are competing with my comfort zones.
Randy Pausch
- The Last Lecture
And I was dreaming, always dreaming. It was an easy time to dream. When you turn on your television set and men are landing on the moon, anything is possible and we should never lose that spirit. If you don't achieve your dreams you can still get a lot by trying for it. There is an expression I love - "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted."
Carrie Fisher
Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
Stephen Colbert
Being silly is so important. Silly is the opposite of grief. It's throwing yourself into a moment without care. You can't always maintain your status as a dignified person, it gives you blinders. When you always expect the world to fulfill your expectations, it wears you down. It closes you off.
Albert Ellis
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
Steve Maraboli
The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.
Senjougahara Hitagi
- Bakemonogatari
Different conclusions are reached when one fact is viewed from two separate points of view. When that happens, there is no immediate way to judge which point of view is the correct one. There is no way to conclude one's own conclusion is the correct one. But for that exact reason, it is also premature to decide one's own conclusion is wrong.
Yoshimura
Just because beans are expensive does not mean the coffee will turn out well. Nothing will if you brew it without care. But the opposite is also true. Even cheap beans can be flavorful if you brew them with care to bring out their unique qualities.
C.A Woolf
What has been seen cannot be unseen, what has been learned cannot be unknown. You cannot change the past, but you can learn from it. You can grow from it. You can be made stronger. You can use that strength to change your life, to change your future.
Ken Kaneki
I'm not the protagonist of a novel or anything. I'm just a college student who likes to read, like you could find anywhere. But... If, for argument's sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be a tragedy.
Arima Kishou
Events that happen in this world are a continuous series of trifling things, and within those myriad pieces of puzzles, there is always a fragment that leads to the truth.
