Meaning of Life:
I would rather be ashes than dust!I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.The function of man is to live, not to exist.I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.I shall use my time. Jack London
Favorite Books:
Here are a few quotes I like about Life: "Make art, not friends." / "Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you." Deepak Chopra / "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." Buddha / "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." / "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." / "Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's more like a cha-cha." / "Don't think too much. You'll create a problem that wasn't even there in the first place." / "Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it'll always get you the right ones." John Lennon / "Most people die at 25 and arent buried until theyre 75." Benjamin Francklin / "Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?" Tennessee Williams / "If only closed minds came with closed mouths." / "Some people are so broken, they get mad at you for being whole." / "February is the shortest month of the year, so if you are having a miserable month, try to schedule it for February." / "Breathe. Its only a bad day not a bad life." / "Having a low opinion of yourself is not modesty. Its self-destruction." / "Sometimes when you meet someone, theres a click. I dont believe in love at first sight but I believe in that click."
