Our life is made by the death of others.
- Leonardo da Vinci
What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.
There really is only one ending to any story. Human life ends in death. Until then, it keeps going and gets complicated and there's loss. Everything involves loss; every relationship ends in one way or another.
- Charlie Kaufman
I’ve never once thought about how I was going to die,” she said. “I can’t think about it. I don’t even know how I’m going to live.
Those were strange days, now that I look back at them. In the midst of life, everything revolved around death.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.
You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.
More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.
Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.
Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore.
Always remember people who have helped you along the way, and don’t forget to lift someone up.
If you have a strong purpose in life, you don't have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.
The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Art is the proper task of life.
Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don't let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can achieve what you never thought possible.
Life is funny. Things change, people change, but you will always be you, so stay true to yourself and never sacrifice who you are for anyone.
- Zayn Malik
You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
It's worth making time to find the things that really stir your soul. That’s what makes you really feel alive. You have to say ‘no’ to other things you’re used to, and do it with all your heart.
When things do not go your way, remember that every challenge — every adversity — contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth.
