- "The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success."
- "The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful... The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
- It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters. -Aesop
- "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify them, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." - Jack Kerouac
- "I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I. And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, then it can't be helped." (Frederick S. Perls)
- " The person who wants the least amount of commitment in a relationship is the one who holds the reins" (Jenna Jameson)
- "Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love. It's a waste of your time.There are too many mediocre things in life - Love shouldn't be one of them." (Unknown)
- "Love ~ we think about it, dream about it, lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it we search for it and when we discover it we don't know what to do with it. We fear losing it. It is our source of pleasure and pain but we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. it's a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, and ...impossible to live without."
- "Friends can be said to "fall in like" with as profound a thud as romantic partners "fall in love."
- "You simply can't make someone love you if they don't. You must choose someone who already loves you. If you choose someone who does not love you, this is the sort of love you must want." (Israel Horovitz)
- "and fantasy it was, for we were not strong, only aggressive; we were not free, merely licensed; we were not compassionate, we were polite; not good but well behaved. we courted death in order to call ourselves brave, and hid like thieves from life. we substituted good grammar for intellect; we switched habits to simulate maturity; we rearranged lies and called it truth, seeing in the new pattern of an old idea the revelation and the word" (T. Morrison)
