“Life is complicated. It wtarts before we’re ready”

Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.

It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise.

I’m here to tell you this. Forget about your life expectancy.

Then one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role.

Don’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.

You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.

There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness.

You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.

You’re going to have a busy life. Thank goodness there’s no life expectancy.

Find that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession.

They would be very disappointed that they didn’t meet their life expectancy.

Bad news. Read the papers. There are people dropping dead when they’re 50, 40, 30 years old. Or quite possibly just after finishing their convocation.

We learn the true worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul…

Loving someone has great benefits.

It is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions.

You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated.

In the original language, ‘Fear the Lord’ doesn’t mean be afraid. It means sustaining a joyful, astonished awe, and wonder before Him.

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.

Marley is someone before his time, man. He’s – he’s almost – he’s like a deity, like almost, you know what I mean?

How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?

Before this country came on the scene, for thousands of years people did things the same way. Within 200 years of the advent of this nation, men were walking on the moon, and I want us to recognize this is the kind of people that we are. We’re creative with a lot of ingenuity and a lot of energy.

This was it. Together. Forever. As we left it all behind, the sun warmed my back, lighting the way before us. I knew of no better omen.

An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.

The infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse’s breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as I think I have said, Nature’s laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages.
