"Endeavor to live the life you have..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Maturity is when all of your mirrors turn into windows.”

“To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.”

“Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone.”

“Lifestyle is the art of discovering ways to live uniquely.”

“Philosophy is perfectly right in saying that life must be understood backward. But then one forgets the other clause - that it must be lived forward. The more one thinks through this clause, the more one concludes that life in temporality never becomes properly understandable, simply because never at any time does one get perfect repose to take the stance - backward.”

“He who breathes deepest lives most.”

“People may think I'm trying something new by telling stories, but they're just jokes connected to give the illusion of stories. But really, I just continue using my imagination and creating. That's what I do.”

“When you sit at your desk, if you're lucky, there's a moment when you feel empowered to be someone or something else, to leap into another skin.”

“Nothing was ever created by a human being that was not first created in the imagination through desire and then transformed into reality through concentration.”
