Things I've said:
- The question is not "Why am I here?". The question is "Why do I want to be here?"
- The question is not "Who am I?". The question is "Who do I want to be?"
- Life is the stuff you can't record.
- And the moral of the story is: always, always aim unrealistically high (and then a bit more)...
Things others have said:
- "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." - Michelangelo Buonarroti
- "Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay
- "Its amazing how grimly we hold on to our misery, the energy we burn fuelling our anger. Amazing how one moment we can be snarling like a beast, then a few moments later forgetting what or why. Not hours of this, or days, or months or years of this, but decades. Lifetimes completely used up, given over to the pettiest of rancour and hatred. Finally, there is nothing here for death to take away" - Charles Bukowski
- "The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace." - Bill Hicks
