Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets. Joseph Conrad
When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster. Dean Koontz
True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: 'I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live Albert Schweitzer

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love. Euripides
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But... Charles Bukowski
I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened... Mark Twain
I react like everyone else, even like those I most despise; but I make up for it by deploring every action I commit, good or bad. Emile M. Cioran
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Every job too miserable most times, is nothing compared to..."
Every job too miserable most times, is nothing compared to just waiting. Chuck Palahniuk
Divert yourself, and ask each passenger to tell his story, and if there is one of them all who has not cursed his existence many times, and said to himself over and over again that he was the most miserable of men, I give you permission to throw me head-first into the sea. Voltaire
Sean O'Casey quote: "All the world's a stage, and most of us are desperately..."
All the world's a stage, and most of us are desperately under-rehearsed. Sean O'Casey
People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel like that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or for treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly. Paulo Coelho
David Hume quote: "To be a philosophical Sceptic is the first and most essential..."
To be a philosophical Sceptic is the first and most essential step towards being a sound, believing Christian. David Hume
He could not even take comfort in knowing that he had spent most of his adult life in dread of calamities had not materialized, because, by the law of averages, one of them was bound to come true one day. J. K. Rowling
Steve Jobs quote: "Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about..."
Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying NO to all but the most crucial features. Steve Jobs
Right now I am like the unborn baby in the womb, knowing nothing except the comforting warmth of the amniotic fluid in which I swim, the comforting nourishment entering my body from a source I cannot see or understand. My whole being comes from an unseen, unknown nurturer. By that nurturer I am totally loved and protected, and that love is forever. It does not end when I am precipitated out of the safe waters of the womb into the unsafe world. It will. It end when I breathe my last, mortal... Madeleine L'Engle
