Nor could I possibly forget that, do what I would, I only had the management of one end of it. Herman Melville
If you look at it the other way round, that's the only reason why this world is inside of me. Maybe it's a paradox, like an image reflected to infinity in a pair of facing mirrors. I am a part of this world, and this world is a part of me. Haruki Murakami

Never be so busy as not to think of others. Mother Teresa
...and in that instant, nothing else mattered. Not the song, not the place, not the other couples around him. Only this, only her. Nicholas Sparks
The lesson? To respond to the unexpected and hurtful behavior of others with something more than a wipe of the glasses, to see it as a chance to expand our understanding. Alain de Botton
Meanwhile you just lived on and there was nothing to it. She understood perfectly well why people had cocktail parties, and jazzed, and Charlestoned till they were ready to drop. You had to take it out some way or other, your youth, or it ate you up. But what a ghastly thing, this youth! You felt as old as Methuselah, and yet the thing fizzed somehow, and didn't let you be comfortable. A mean sort of life! And no prospect! She almost wished she had gone off with Mick, and made her life one... David Herbert Lawrence
This misfortune you find is of your own manufacture. Keep hold of what you have, it will harm no other, for hatred comes home to the hand that chose it. Simon Armitage
Seek to share joy with others, or to make somebody else happy, and you will find your own soul radiant with the joy you wished for another. David O. McKay
We [Raymond and Meursault] stared at each other without blinking, and everything came to a stop there between the sea, the sand, and the sun, and the double silence of the flute and the water. It was then that I realized that you could either shoot or not shoot. Albert Camus
