- “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs 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 or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while 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.”
- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs
- "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people, and you can change it." -Steve Jobs
- "This ability to accept the unacceptable may only last for a few moments, but when it happens, it leaves a crack in the shell of who you thought you were. Through this crack, there's an opportunity for the light of who you really are to shine through, often for the first time since infancy." -The Fear Cure by Lissa Rankin, pg. 90
- “So, transform yourself first…Because you are young and have dreams and want to do something meaningful, that in itself, makes you our future and our hope. Keep expanding your horizon, decolonize your mind, and cross borders.” —Yuri Kochiyama

- “A boat that never ventures beyond its moorings will never be damaged, but that’s not what boats are made for. Similarly, a human being who never dares to walk into the unknown spaces of his or her life will never get hurt – but that is not what humans were designed for. Clinging to safe shores in your life is nothing more than making a choice to remain imprisoned by your fears”. – Robin Sharma
- "There's more to life than increasing it's speed." Mahatma Gandhi
- “I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead.” -Francheska, of 'Hey Fran Hey'
- "And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in. That's what this storm's all about." Haruki Murakami
- “The moon had been observing the earth close-up longer than anyone. It must have witnessed all of the phenomena occurring—and all of the acts carried out—on this earth. But the moon remained silent; it told no stories. All it did was embrace the heavy past with cool, measured detachment. On the moon there was neither air not wind. Its vacuum was perfect for preserving memories unscathed. No one could unlock the heart of the moon.” Haruki Murakami

In a general way, fears about yourself prevent you from doing your BEST work, while fears about your reception by others prevent you from doing your OWN work.” Art and Fear by David Bayles & Ted Orland
