Augusten Burroughs quote: "You cannot be a prisoner of your past against your will. ..."
You cannot be a prisoner of your past against your will. Because you can only live in the past inside your mind. Augusten Burroughs
Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about all the dumb things I do every day... If I live to be eighty and I do ten dumb things each day... That would be about two hundred and ninety thousand dumb things... When you add up all the dumb things you do, it's best to use round figures... Charles M. Schulz
Haruki Murakami quote: "I don't think we should judge the value of our lives by how..."
I don't think we should judge the value of our lives by how efficient they are. Haruki Murakami
You don't have to understand why anything that has happened nor do you even have to understand what it is that has happened. You have only to live with the remains. Joyce Carol Oates
Love is the force that brings us back together, in order to condense the experience dispersed in many lives and many parts of the world. Paulo Coelho
I can not give you the reference of Ram Chandar or Krishna, because they were not historical figures. I can not help it but to present to you the names of (Hazrat) Abu Bakar (RA) and (Hazrat) Umar Farooq (RA). They were leaders of a vast Empire, yet they lived a life of austerity. Mahatma Gandhi
Gertrude Stein quote: "I have lived half of my life in Paris, not the half the made..."
I have lived half of my life in Paris, not the half the made me but the half in which I made what I made. Gertrude Stein

For a time in my life I stood looking at the wind, I forgot to sow, I did not live joyfully, I did not even drink the wine offered me. But, one day, I judged myself ready, and I went back to work, I told men about my visions of paradise, as did Bosch, Van Gogh, Wagner, Beethoven, Einstein, and other madmen before me. Paulo Coelho
I had seen these transformations, people who had lost their will to live, coming back from their zombie states and radiating a new life force from their eyes. Anthony Kiedis
It is easier to bear the worries of wandering than to find peace in your hometown, where only the sage can live in a happy house surrounded by trite troubles and daily distractions. Herman Hesse
I Have been asked to tell you about the back of the north wind. An old Greek writer mentions a people who lived there, and were so comfortable that they could not bear it any longer, and drowned themselves. My story is not the same as his. I do not think Herodotus had got the right account of the place. I am going to tell you how it fared with a boy who went there. George MacDonald
I knew that I lived in a country in which the aspirations of black people were limited, marked-off. Yet I felt that I had to go somewhere and do something to redeem my being alive. Richard Wright
I will never forget that the passing down of memories is the strongest link in the gossamer bridge that binds up as people. I plan to devote my live to doing just that. And if you've taught me anything, it's that what we hold in our hearts is truly the fierest component of our humanity. David Baldacci
You reach a moment in life when, among the people you have known, the dead outnumber the living. And the mind refuses to accept more faces, more expressions: on every new face you encounter, it prints the old forms, for each one it finds the most suitable mask. Italo Calvino
