Favourite quotes

“The highest forms of human understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.” -Richard Feynman "Brevity is the soul of wit." -Polonius (Hamlet) "I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson "Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth." -Alan Watts "A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes." -Mahatma Gandhi "I don't do drugs. I am drugs." -Salvador Dalí "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." -Sigmund Freud "Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's." -"Hiplito, the Writer" - Amélie (2001) "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -Carl Sagan "Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them." -Albert Einstein "How odd, I can have all this inside me and to you it's just words." -David Foster Wallace "What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that." -Eckhart Tolle “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” -Fyodor Dostoyevsky " 'Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.' 'I know for a fact that's not true. I've seen you feel joy, I've seen you marvel at things.' " -Her (2013) "If a lion could speak, we could not understand him." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god." -Aristotle "Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; this interdependence produces the highest form of living." -Anaïs Nin "The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye. The story of love is hello and goodbye. Until we meet again." -Jimi Hendrix "Much though he recites the sacred texts, but acts not accordingly, that heedless man is like a cowherd who only counts the cows of others." -Siddhartha Gautama "Si Dieu n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer." -Voltaire "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." -Isaac Newton "Hey, what are you in for?" "Everything." -Rick Sanchez "Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting." -Gottfried Leibniz "The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of the word is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to." -Chuang Tzu "Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting 'Holy shit…what a ride!'" -Hunter S. Thompson "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." -Oscar Wilde "Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths rather than merely to contemplate." -Thomas Aquinas “Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.” -Khalil Gibran
