You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The... Charles Bukowski

People are wrong when they think that an unemployed man only worries about losing his wages; on the contrary, an illiterate man, with the work habit in his bones, needs work even more than he needs money. An educated man can put up with enforced idleness, which is one of the worst evils of poverty. But a man like Paddy, with no means of filling up time, is as miserable out of work as a dog on the chain. That is why it is such nonsense to pretend that those who have 'come down in the world'... George Orwell

Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways. Mother Teresa
You're wrong. The mind is not like raindrops. It does not fall from the skies, it does not lose itself among other things.

Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day—mock me horribly! Oscar Wilde
