"Don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that fucked up
and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the
warmth before you grow old." -Incubus
"And that's when she put her book down. And looked at me. And said it:
'Life isn't fair, Bill. We tell our children that it is, but it's a
terrible thing to do. It's not only a lie, it's a cruel lie. Life is not
fair, and it never has been, and it's never going to be.'" -William
Goldman, The Princess Bride
"You may not see it now," said the Princess of Pure Reason, looking
knowingly at Milo's puzzled face, "but whatever we learn has a purpose
and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the
tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round
the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet
weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves
slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the
ripples in the pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be
really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever
you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer."
— Norton Juster (The Phantom Tollbooth)
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were
merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning
torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the
world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
— E.B. WhiteLabels: Quote It Saturday
