Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for every one, best both for the body and the mind.

Why would you give someone the power to tell you that you can't go further when they don't even know how far you've come?

Steve Maraboli

I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as cute.

Abbie Hoffman

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10

Bible

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and that's just barely possible. And that's the lesson I'm learning. If someone's going to impress me, whether it be a Maharishi or a Yoko, then there comes a point where the emperor has no clothes 'cause I'm naive, but I'm not stupid. For all you folks out there who think I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes, well, that's an insult to me. But if you think you know me, or you have some part of me because of the music, and then you think I'm being controlled like a dog on a leash because I do things with her, then screw you, brother or sister, you don't know what's happening. I'm not here for you, I'm here for me and her, and now the baby.

John Lennon

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Buddha

This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.

Colleen Hoover

I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.

Will Smith

A lively, disinterested, persistent liking for truth is extraordinarily rare. Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not to be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism or doubt.

Henri Frederic Amiel

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Twelve dead? I said. Jesus.

Dennis Lehane

It's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.

Kristen Stewart

It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.

Richard P. Feynman
