Betterment Quotes (page 56)

It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning Albert Camus
Plutarch quote: "[It was] better to set up a monarchy themselves than to suffer..."
[It was] better to set up a monarchy themselves than to suffer a sedition to continue that must certainly end in one. Plutarch
Brigitte Bardot quote: "When you're thirty you're old enough to know better, but still..."
When you're thirty you're old enough to know better, but still young enough to go ahead and do it. Brigitte Bardot
He had the sensation of stepping into the dampness of a grave, and it was not much better because he had always known that the grave was there and waiting for him. George Orwell
The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho quote: "If you improve on the present, what comes later will also be..."
If you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Paulo Coelho
I will defend the absolute value of Mozart over Miley Cyrus, of course I will, but we should be wary of false dichotomies. You do not have to choose between one or the other. You can have both. The human cultural jungle should be as varied and plural as the Amazonian rainforest. We are all richer for biodiversity. We may decide that a puma is worth more to us than a caterpillar, but surely we can agree that the habitat is all the better for being able to sustain each. Stephen Fry
Black progressives suffered major disillusionment with white progressives when our experiences of working with them revealed that they could want to be with us (even to be our sexual partners) without divesting of white supremacist thinking about blackness. We saw that they were often unable to let go the idea that whites are somehow better, smarter, more likely to be intellectuals, and even that they were kinder than black folks. Bell Hooks
You'd think that even a bad doctor on a bad day would feel better than a good drug dealer on a good day, but I suspect that this might not be true. I suspect that drug dealers have days when everything clicks, and it's all buzz buzz buzz, and they chalk off their jobs one by one, and they return home with a sense of accomplishment. Nick Hornby
Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation. John Wooden
He was all emotion all the time, constantly talking about his feelings and his profound love for her. He was minutes from getting his first period. He wrote poems too. It's my personal belief that if men are writing poems, they're making up for something else like a big hair back, or one ball. Not that one ball is a bad thing. Especially since I don't know any females who are dying to their their hands on a set of balls. The way I see it, the less balls, the better. Chelsea Handler
Hell needed horribly bright, self-centered people like Eric. They were much better at being nasty than demons could ever manage Terry Prachett
For all the ugly vices that capitalism encourages, it's at least interesting, exciting, it offers possiblities. In America, the struggle is at least an individual struggle. And if the individual has strength enough of character, salt enough of wit, the alternatives are thicker than polyesters in a car salesman's closet. In a socialistic system, you're no better or no worse than anybody else.'But that's equality!'Bullshit. Unromantic, unattractive bullshit. Equality is not in regarding... Tom Robbins
Mort Sahl quote: "I found people looked better when they laughed"
I found people looked better when they laughed Mort Sahl
By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better. Ernest Hemingway
