Henry Rollins: When life...

When life hands you a lemon, say Oh yeah, I like lemons. What else you got?
/Henry Rollins/

C. G. Jung: There are...

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
/C. G. Jung/

Anna Quindlen: I realized...

I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.
/Anna Quindlen/

Albert Schweitzer: The highest...

The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge nor hope for the future can be the pivot of our life or determine its direction. It is intended to be solely determined by our allowing ourselves to be gripped by the ethical God, who reveals Himself in us, and by our yielding our will to His.
/Albert Schweitzer/

Seneca: Precepts or...

Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.

Jerry Garcia: I'm not...

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
/Jerry Garcia/

Earl Warren: Everything I...

Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.

Alice Foote MacDougall: Poverty is...

Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty.
