Every country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old
woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.
Douglas Adams
You don't have to be a person of influence
to be influential. In fact, the most
influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.
Scott Adams
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone
can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid
person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did
something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you
out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like maybe we should be just friends
turns into a glass splinter working its way into
your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
The Kindly Ones
Neil Gaiman
I could be, you know, the person that shows little kids that giving up isn't something that you should do.
Jessica Lynch
No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk
until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than
mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.
The Wise Man's Fear
Patrick Rothfuss
They say there's no second act in American lives. There's something there worth exploring. Giving up an idea of yourself, examining
your failure, and seeing if that failure was the system's or yours. What does it mean to not turn out to be the person you want to be?
