Ester asked why people are sad. "That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams. Paulo Coelho

By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality,... David Foster Wallace
To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are. Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor. Because it blooms up above. Fernando Pessoa
You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: it wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena. Jon Stewart
It seems to me that most people are impressed with just three things: how fast you can play, how high you can play, and how loud you can play. I find this a little exasperating, but I'm a lot more experienced now, and understand that probably less than 2 percent of the public can really hear. When I say hear, I mean follow a horn player through his ideas, and be able to understand those ideas in relation to the changes, if the changes are completely modern. Dixie is different - it's easier to... Chet Baker
Whether you are happy or not depends to some degree upon outward circumstances, but mostly it depends how you choose to look at things yourself, whether you measure what you have or what you have not. Anne Perry
