Quote by Jean-Luc Godard

To be or not to be. That's not really a question.

To be or not to be. That's not really a question.

Summary

This quote is an ironic statement implying that the choice between existence and non-existence should not be viewed as a dilemma or a difficult decision. The phrase, "To be or not to be," is famously known from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, where the titular character contemplates the meaning of life and ponders suicide. However, the statement suggests that life is simply a given and not a choice, making the decision of whether to exist or not unnecessary or inconsequential. Hence, it challenges the profound seriousness often associated with the question of existence.

Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams... countless echoes of 'could have' and 'should have' countless books unwritten countless songs unsung... I want to live my life in such a way that when my body is laid to rest, it will be a well needed rest from a life well lived, a song well sung, a book well written, opportunities well explored, and a love well expressed.

For those who have come here illegally, they might have a transition time to allow them to set their affairs in order. And then go back home and get in line with everybody else. And if they get in line and they apply to become a citizen and get a green card, they will be treated like everybody else.

Tyler rolls out of bed, sniffs the armpits of yesterday's T-shirt, tosses it aside, gets another out of the drawer. His dad sometimes asks him why he sets his alarm so early -- it's summer vacation, after all -- and Tyler can't seem to make him understand that every day is important, especially those filled with warmth and sunlight and no particular responsibilities. It's as if there's some little voice deep inside him, warning him not to waste a minute, not a single one, because time is short.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
