Moments to share... How do you measure a life?


*There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. - George Carlin*

*It's an old light and there's not much of it, but it's enough to see by *

*In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that worships him and a cat that ignores him. *

*Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around, but the further you fall the farther you'll fly. *

*Life isn't about knowing, how to change things...
It's about taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. *

* All I've left is the breath, and the world I've put to pieces.
It's difficult, to figure out who to fear,
Getting older by the minute, younger by the year. *

*The center of my world is what I cannot hold in these hands of mine, still feeling it dancing on my fingertips and between my eyes and the glitter of yours. *

*Remember, you are constantly in the act of creating yourself. You are in every moment deciding who and what you are. You decide this largely through the choices you make regarding who and what you feel passionate about. *

*"Blessed the hearts which can bend, for those shall never be broken." - Albert Camus *

*A person who asks a question is a fool for five minutes. A person who doesn’t ask is a fool forever. *

*"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." *

*"It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them." - Alfred Adler *

*"We cross our bridges as we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered." -Tom Stoppard *

*Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. *

*Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. *

*Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. *

*“It's not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing.”
--- Terry Pratchett *

*I like the stars. From here, I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Worlds don’t last; stars and galaxies are transient things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust-but I can pretend. -Neil Gaiman *

*With neither a thing to struggle toward nor a place to return to, all that remains is a time of isolation. *

*"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'"
Isaac Asimov *

*Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. -William Shakespeare *
* Theory is when everyone knows all, but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works, but no one knows why.
Here we put together theory and practice: nothing works and no one knows why. *

* The moon is just shining with the reflection of a star. Alone we are nothing. *

* When they say that some young man has not yet "found himself," they are really saying that he has not lost himself as they. For men will often say that they have "found themselves" when they have really been worn down into a groove by the brutal and compulsive force of circumstance. They speak of their life's salvation when all they have done is blindly follow through an accidental way. They have forgotten their life's purpose, and all the faith, hope, and immortal confidence of a boy. They have forgotten that below all the apparent waste, loss, chaos of a young man's life there is really a central purpose and a single faith which they themselves have lost. -Thomas Wolfe*
