"O homem sacrifica sua vida para juntar dinheiro. Então, perde seu dinheiro para recuperar a saúde. Vive pensando ansiosamente no futuro de tal forma que acaba por não viver o presente, nem o futuro. Vive como se nunca fosse morrer e morre como se nunca tivesse vivido."

• Dalai Lama

"As armas e os barões assinalados / que, da ocidental praia Lusitana, / por mares nunca de antes navegados / passaram ainda além da Taprobana, / em perigos e guerras esforçados, / mais do que prometia a força humana, / e entre gente remota edificaram / novo reino, que tanto sublimaram;".

• Os Lusíadas, de Camões

"But as you age, you lose other, even more important things, like friends-hopefully only bad friends, who maybe weren't as good for you as you once thought. With luck, you'll be able to hang on to your true friends, the ones who were always there for you....even when you thought they weren't. Because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world"

"I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once, I want my life to be like and ‘80s movie. But, no. No. John Hughes did not direct my life."

"Não se deve, pelo bem de uma pessoa, alterar o significado de princípio e de integridade, nem tentar convencer a mim ou si própria de que o egoísmo é prudência e insensibilidade de arriscar a segurança pela felicidade."

• Orgulho e Preconceito, Jane Austen

“O segredo da saúde mental e corporal está em não se lamentar pelo passado, não se preocupar com o futuro, nem se adiantar aos problemas, mas viver sábia e seriamente o presente.”
