- "To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." - E.E. Cummings
- "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." - Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
- "Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically to those who hardly think about us in return." - T.H. White
- "Many people die with their music still IN them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live...Before they know it...time runs out." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
- "Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact." - Henry James
- "There will always be something to ruin our lives. It all depends on what or which finds us first. You're always ripe and ready to be taken." - Charles Bukowski
- “A day is a day and a minute is a minute. And maybe, it is only our relations with the people we care about that actually affects how we perceive time’s passage: ‘Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.'” - Jorge Luis Borges
- "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
- "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." - George Sand
- "I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others—young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
- "I like to see people reunited. I like to see people run to each other. I like the kissing and the crying. I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change. I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone." - Jonathan Safran Foer
