Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.

If you're proactive, you don't have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.

Stephen Covey

Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time.

Haruki Murakami

I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.

Desiderius Erasmus

No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it.

Aristotle

While there's life, there's hope.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

War is the unfolding of miscalculations.

Barbara Tuchman

Action cures fear, inaction creates terror.

Douglas Horton

Color has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever... Color and I are one. I am a painter.

Paul Klee

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

Lake Bell

Worship your body, beauty, and sexual allure and you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.

David Foster Wallace

The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.

W. H. Auden

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.

Jonathan Winters
