George R. R. Martin quote: "The world is full of horrors, Tommen. You can fight them, or..."
The world is full of horrors, Tommen. You can fight them, or laugh at them, or look without seeing... George R. R. Martin
It wasn't until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout. Henry Rollins
It's not about knowin where you are. It's about thinkin you got there without takin anything with you. Your notions about startin over. Or anybody's. You dont start over. That's what it's about. Every step you take is forever. You cant make it go away. None of it. Cormac McCarthy
I had more positive views. Which made me feel that although I hadn't been taught to assimilate, a person perhaps assimilated without knowing it. I was doing it now.

Richard Ford
Jiddu Krishnamurti quote: "Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and..."
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it. Jiddu Krishnamurti
How empty life is and without meaning. - We bury a man, we follow him to the grave, we throw three spades of earth on him, we ride out in a coach, we ride home in a coach, we take comfort in the thought that a long life awaits us. But how long is threescore years and ten? Why not finish it at once? Soren Kierkegaard

Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "Existence is without memory; of the vanished it retains..."
Existence is without memory; of the vanished it retains nothing - not even a memory. Jean-Paul Sartre
Neil Gaiman quote: "Can't make an omelette without killing a few people."
Can't make an omelette without killing a few people. Neil Gaiman
What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you. Jane Austen
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "It was possible to close your eyes and exit life without..."
It was possible to close your eyes and exit life without actually dying. You just had to faint. Sue Monk Kidd
What if sometimes there is no choice about what to love? What if the temple comes to Mohammed? What if you just love? without deciding? You just do: you see her and in that instant are lost to sober account-keeping and cannot choose but to love? David Foster Wallace
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "My maxim was, la carrire est ouverte aux talents, without..."

He matters to me, too."I know he does."He didn't." Phillip pulled out his hammer to nail the laps. "Not as much as he did to you. Not enough. It's different now."I know that, too." For the next few minutes they worked in tandem, without words. "You stood up for him anyway," Cam added when the plank was in place. "Even when he didn't matter enough."I did it for Dad."We all did it for Dad. Now we're doing it for Seth. Nora Roberts
