"All dreams have a price"- this hits pretty close to home for me. Most of my friends know I dream more than the average person. By dream, i mostly mean at night (i have two dreamcatchers above my bed which have seemed to change the issue- there are nights i've spent only dreaming, not sleeping, which is not good for the next day), but also my ridiculous amount of ambition. All dreams have a price.
"Sometimes our impulses and desires make us feel powerless. But part of the art of living is knowing how to fight that feeling; because when we're powerless, we get frightened, and then we lose our grip on our intelligence, our common sense, and we become weak. You're going to be scared in lots of ways in your life... But always fight back, and don't hesitate for too long. Think, decide, and then act. Don't have doubts. You have to act on your decisions or you'll be unhappy. Every decision you make can become a kind of game that helps you know yourself better and understand the world." To me, this is a fantastic quote that sums up advice quite well.
"If you want to know what a year of life means, ask a student who just flunked his year-end exams. Or a month of life: talk to a mother who has just given birth to a premature baby and is waiting for him to be taken out of the incubator before she can home him safe and sound in her arms. Or a week: interview a man who works in a factory or a mine to feed his family. Or a day: ask two people madly in love, who are waiting to see each other again. Or an hour: talk to someone with claustrophobia who's stuck in a broken down elevator. Or a second: look at the expression on the face of a man who has just escaped from a car wreck. Or one thousandth of a second: ask the athlete who just won the silver medal at the Olympic Games, and not the gold he trained for all his life. Life is magic."
Too deep and not pictures? perhaps, but oh man how i love to read.
