- Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier, simpler. (Friedrich Nietzsche) (via Tumblr)
- One of the best feelings in life is rediscovering a song you once used to love. With hearing this song, you instantly feel the same exact emotions you once felt every time you played it. You even kind of get a flashback and see yourself sitting in your room, singing along to this song on replay for hours, and it's only then when you start to wonder how you could possibly forget about this song. How you could ever grow apart from something you used to cherish so much. (via Tumblr)
- The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death - however mutable man may be able to make them - our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. (Stanley Kubrick)
- As far as we discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being. (C. G. Jung)
- Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you bruise my spirit and I can't touch you. (Indigo Girls: Ghost) (vandalism on a cubicle in the UP Main Library)
- Do not pity the dead. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. (Dumbledore: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows)
- Misfortune always comes to those who wait. The trick is to find happiness in the brief gaps between disasters. (Roran: Brisingr)
- Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker? (Book of the Dead: Abhorsen Trilogy)
- Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. (Rorschach: Watchmen, Ch. 6)
- Words are not peripheral but, on the contrary, central to human life. Human existence is, by definition, a linguistically articulated existence. (Ferdinand de Saussure)
- Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
- But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away. (Dr. Manhattan: Watchmen, Ch. 9)
- You are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg: the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. (Dr. Manhattan: Watchmen, Ch. 9)
- As far as we discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being. (C. G. Jung)
- You don't get to do that --- to come into somebody's life, make them care, and just check out. (The Walking Dead: S01E06)
- There is no other field in which so many absurd notions, prejudices, mirages, and fictions have sprung up. From the psychological viewpoint these errors are of interest, but the task of the linguist is, above all else, to condemn them and to dispel them as best as he can. (Ferdinand de Saussure)
- You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star. (Friedrich Nietzsche) (via Tumblr)
