Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind; that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.

Never forget:we walk on hell,gazing at flowers.

Kobayashi Issa

Either I will find a way, or I will make one.

Sir Philip Sidney

The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.

Octavio Paz

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch

When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.

Jackie Chan

Even good opinions are worth very little unless we hold them in the broad, intelligent, and spacious way.

John Morley

Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors.

Voltaire

A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

Charlie Byrd

An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

Man Ray

If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Madness is badness of spirit, when one seeks profit from all sources

Aristotle

I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.

Antonio Gramsci
