Inspirational Quotes

Love your body, love your sexuality, and realize that you are a bad human being only if you are unkind and cruel and do harm unto others and not because of your sex life.

~ Roxana Shirazi

This isn’t lust. Lust wants, does the obvious, and pads back into the forest. Love is greedier. Love wants round-the-clock care; protection; rings, vows, joint accounts; scented candles on birthdays; life insurance. Babies. Love’s a dictator.

~ David Mitchell

Hiding things is the most foolish thing that annihilates correlation.

~ Waqas Bin Ehsan

Pick a man, any man. That man there. See him. That man hatless. You know his opinion of the world. You can read it in his face, in his stance. Yet his complaint that a man’s life is no bargain masks the actual case with him. Which is that men will not do as he wishes them to. Have never done, never will do. That’s the way of things with him and his life is so balked about by difficulty and become so altered of its intended architecture that he is little more than a walking hovel hardly fit to house the human spirit at all. Can he say, such a man, that there is no malign thing set against him? That there is no power and no force and no cause? What manner of heretic could doubt agency and claimant alike? Can he believe that the wreckage of his existence is unentailed? No liens, no creditors? That gods of vengeance and of compassion alike lie sleeping in their crypt and whether our cries are for an accounting or for the destruction of the ledgers altogether they must evoke only the same silence and that it is this silence which will prevail?

~ Cormac Mccarthy

For the salvation of his soul the Muslim digs a well. It would be a fine thing if each of us were to leave behind a school, or a well, or something of the sort, so that life would not pass by and retreat into eternity without a trace.

~ Anton Chekhov

Ability does catches my attention, but its a politeness in the person that I remember.

~ Amit Kalantri

No one is a good historian of the patent, visible, striking, and public life of peoples, if he is not, at the same time, in a certain measure, the historian of their deep and hidden life; and no one is a good historian of the interior unless he understands how, at need, to be the historian of the exterior also...True history being a mixture of all things, the true historian mingles in everything.

~ Victor Hugo

Life is like a DVR recording. The story goes on, but you cannot see it until you fast forward through the commercials

~ Christopher Earle

There's 7 billion 46 million people on the planet and most of us have the audacity to think we matter.

~ George Watsky

Time plays no role in the life of one man—the subtle consciousness of it floating past me is more than enough. Years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds—what does it matter? Floating by, it rubs against my skin, face, and hair—wearing me down, yet polishing me all the while. Time is like fine grains of sand in a desert storm. At first, you don’t pay any attention to it, but the more it hits you in the face, the more aware of it you become, the more annoying it gets until, one day, you find yourself suffocating. The weight of it eventually bends your spine, until you are crawling on your hands and knees, unable to stand straight. Then comes the time to crawl back into the womb, crawl inside and wait for rebirth.

~ Henry Martin

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is nothing. Catelyn

~ George R.r. Martin

Deep in my heart politeness impresses me more than competence.

~ Amit Kalantri

As colors are formed by the combination of Red, Green and Blue : Similarly is life which is a combination of Love, Faith and Peace..

~ Mahesh Shekhar

You think that the world we live in is ordinary. We make noise and static to fill the empty spaces where ghosts live. We let other people grow our food, bleach our clothes. We seal ourselves in, clean the dirt from our skins, eat of animals whose blood does not stain our hands. We long ago left the ways of our ancestors, oracles and blood sacrifice, traffic with the spirit world, listening for the voices out of stones and trees. But maybe sometimes you have felt the uncanny, alone at night in a dark wood, or waiting by the edge of the ocean for the tide to come in. We have paved over the ancient world, but that does not mean we have erased it.

~ Sarah Mccarry

The trouble with life is that we lead it forwards and understand it backwards.

~ N. Lombardi Jr.

Even the highest branches cannot deny that they have roots in a common bond.

~ K.m. Tepe

There's only one thing you can do: Toss your pebble in the river, watch it ripple, and know you have moved the ocean.

~ K.m. Douglas

Knowing you don't have much time left changes things. You get kind of philosophical. And you figure things out-more like, they figure themselves out-and everything gets real clear.

~ Kami Garcia

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.

~ Mark Twain

We are all only men, defined by our choices.

~ I.e. Castellano

~ Jemima Pett

Talent helps, but it won't take you as far as ambition.

~ Paul Arden

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

~ Jim Rohn

In fact, ambitious tension actually limits our ability to succeed because it keeps us in a state of contraction emotionally and physically. It seems to give us energy but doesn't really.  Like the white sugar of mental health, there's a short high followed by a crash.  The cultivation of mental rest or surrender is like eating healthy food.  It doesn’t give us an immediate rush, but over time it provides a lot more energy.

~ Marianne Williamson

You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well try what you do want.

~ Jim Carrey

For he, who has never sailed through storms, can never trust sailors of such ships.

~ Ashish Jaiswal

Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.

~ Frank Tyger

Spending time with people without ambition is a self-destruction.

~ Amen Muffler

You may delay your ambition, but never forget your ambition.

~ Amit Kalantri

...you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. The real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire.

~ Sonia Sotomayor

If you are not working towards something, your life will end with nothing.

~ Habeeb Akande

Without drive you will never get anywhere in life.

~ Habeeb Akande

It's just that it's impossible to be a broken or whole person. You can only be a person. You can only exist, you can only belong to yourself, and you can only be responsible for your own happiness or belonging or whatever. That broken-part-piece-whole thing is just a trick of the mortal mind.

~ Jackson Pearce

Who could be like him? Who could ever be like you? Each of us has his path. They run close together sometimes—for life, if we are fortunate—but they never cross.

~ Harper Fox

Personality is a physical matter almost entirely; it lowers the people it acts on - I've seen it vanish in a long sickness. But while a personality is active, it overrides 'the next thing.' Now a personage, on the other hand, gathers. He is never thought of apart from what he's done. He's a bar on which a thousand things have been hung — glittering things sometimes, as ours are; but he uses those things with a cold mentality back of them.

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
