stopped living.

First
they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak
out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither,
so I did not
speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not
speak out. And
when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
(Martin Niemoeller)
Everyone
sees what you seem. Only few feel the way you are.

For me the
only real people are the mad,
those who
are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be
released and who yearn for everything at once –
those who
never yawn or talk commonly but burn, burn, burn
like fantastic
yellow sparklers.
(Jack Kerouac)
People who don't drink are

is not logical.
It doesn't have to be right just because it has its logic.
(Lion Feuchtwanger)
Honesty doesn't mean to say everything you think.
Honesty just means that you say nothing you don't
mean.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and
fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser
people so full of doubts.

The mind is its own place,
and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell,
a hell of heaven.

I think there is nothing more extreme than two people
who love each other without reservation.
(Bono Vox)
Life is what happens to you while you are waiting for the fulfillment of your dreams
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands
of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one
word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our
character and of our thoughts.
(George Matthew Adams)
Man consists of bones, flesh, blood, saliva, cells and vanity.

On joyless lanes we walk in

a calm
but steady flow
accompanied by loud commands
all strength
is running low
