Completely unrelated to what I usually write about, but I’ve finally decided to persist these interesting quotes I’ve collected throughout the years to an article.
In no particular order, here goes nothing:
Lies are like colors, the more you pile up, the blacker things get.
The tallest tree in the forest will be ravaged by the most wind.
Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.
The biggest problem in the world could have been solved when it was small.
Do not fall before you are pushed.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?
You might be able to do it if you try. But if you don’t try, you definitely can’t.
War doesn’t determine who is right, it determines who’s left.
[…] whether your relationship is awful, good, or great, we don’t like endings, we don’t like to lose things. And especially, we don’t like to lose things that are important to us. And make no mistake, relationships are the single most important thing to you in your life. It’s the source of all of your best memories, it’s the source of all of your worst memories. When you think back on your life when you’re 95 or 100 years old and you look back over the course of your lifetime, you’re not going to think: “‘I wish I owned a better phone’, ‘I wish I spent more time on the Internet’, I wish I spent more time at work or sleeping’”. It’s not going to be any of those kinds of things. It’s going to be: ‘I wish I spent more time with the people I loved’.
Never take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyways.
You don’t realize just how much you loved something until you lost it.
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Intelligence comes at the cost of happiness.
Everything dims, eventually.
Time stops for no one, but surely, time doesn’t go so fast that we’d need to rush everything.
My rights don’t end where your feelings begin
Hesitation is a source of regret
Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk
I can wipe the tears in my eyes, but I can’t wipe the pain in my heart.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
Don’t set yourself on fire so you can keep others warm
The top of the world is a lonely place.
Vie ta vie et reste en vie/Live your life and stay alive.
Find what you love; let it kill you.
Sanity is for the weak.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. (Peter Principle)
One Day, One Room:
House: “Are you going to base your life on who you got stuck in a room with?”
Eve: “I’m going to base this moment on whom I’m stuck in a room with. That’s what life is. It’s a series of rooms, and who we get stuck in those rooms with adds up to what our lives are.”
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
