'The road,' wrote Cervantes, 'is always better than the inn.' Those who settle on fame or fortune, and having arrived, call it quits, miss the whole point of life. Realistically, there is no inn, no ultimate point of arrival. It is the road now and forever, finite man probing infinity, finding his way, endlessly. All that matters are the lessons learned along the way.

From my fave show of all time, 'The Office'
"If you have lost both legs and both arms just go 'at least I'm not dead'. Though I'd rather be dead in that situation to be honest- I'm not saying people like that should be put down. I'm saying that in my life I'd rather not live without arms and legs 'cos you know... I'm just getting into yoga." - Ricky Gervais as David Brent. _____________________

"My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita Phalloides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead."

"This is the material, by the way, that has kept me virtually anonymous in America for the past 15 years. Gee, I wonder why we're hated the world over? Look at these fat Americans in the front row - 'Why doesn't he just hit fruit with a hammer?' Folks, I could have done that, walked around being a millionaire and franchising myself but no, I had to have this weird thing about trying to illuminate the collective unconscious and help humanity. Fucking moron." _____________________
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

Here's a bunch, most of which I've forgotten who originally said them...
"The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult." "Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you have only one idea." "It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clean opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own." "Each man is the smith of his own fortune." "Force, if unassisted by judgement, collapses through its own mass." "Live with yourself: get to know how poorly furnished you are." "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, you can't take part. And you've got to put your body upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop." -Mario Savio, (1943-1996) "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." -Abraham Lincoln "People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr. _____________________

"You take one nap in a ditch in the park, and people start declaring you this and that!" Professor Farnsworth, has pretty much quoted my life, inspiring isn't it? _____________________

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side. Tell me what you need and I'll tell you how to get along without it. Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Children will soon forget your presents. They will always remember your presence. _____________________
