My life is very monotonous," the fox said. "I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Don't forget: one of the saddest things in life is wasted talent. Thomas S. Monson
Every life is inexplicable, I kept telling myself. No matter how many facts are told, no matter how many details are given, the essential thing resists telling. To say that so and so was born here and went there, that he did this and did that, that he married this woman and had these children, that he lived, that he died, that he left behind these books or this battle or that bridge? none of that tells us very much. Paul Auster
Rosalind Russell quote: "Taking joy in life is a woman's best cosmetic."

Do not work primarily for money; do your duty to patients first and let the money follow; our life is short, we don't live twice; the whirlwind will pick up the leaves and spin them, but then it will drop them and they will form a pile. John Hersey
One of the regrets of my life is that I did not study Latin. I'm absolutely convinced, the more I understand these eighteenth century people, that it was that grounding in Greek and Latin that gave them their sense of the classic virtues: the classic ideals of honor, virtue, the good society, and their historic examples of what they could try to live up to. David McCullough
Mark Twain quote: "Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like..."
Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. Mark Twain
Harvey Pekar quote: "Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff."
Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff. Harvey Pekar
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life..."
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Things have changed, ofcourse. There are counsellors at the ready. Kindness and understanding. Life is harder for some, we're told. Not their fault, even if the blows are purely imgainery. Felt just as keenly by the recipient, or the non recipient, as the case may be. But good use can be made of everything, if you are willing. Alice Munro
In vain we chisel, as best we can, the mysterious block of which our life is made, the black vein of destiny reappears continuously. Victor Hugo
