"I think the meaning of life is to learn to ask the right questions and understand that the universe is the answer"
~Elon Musk

"Humans consistently ignore the endless infinity of possibilities in favor of maintaining the status quo.”
“People fear change”
“They settle with fine when they could have exceptional.”

"When you see a good move, look for a better one"

"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try and spend the night with a misquito"

"No person is born great. Great persons become great when others are sleeping"

"To get lost is to learn the way"

"I don't have time for modesty, I want to create the singularity tomorrow"

"Yeah, so she told me to tie her up and do whatever I wanted to her..
So I took her stereo."

"It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war"

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone, if possible,
Jew, gentile, black man, white.
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness — not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone.
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful,
but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls,
has barricaded the world with hate,
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity.
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost."

"Without individuals we see only numbers: a thousand dead, a hundred thousand dead, "casualties may rise to a million." With individual stories, the statistics become people — but even that is a lie, for the people continue to suffer in numbers that themselves are numbing and meaningless. Look, see the child’s swollen, swollen belly, and the flies that crawl at the corners of his eyes, his skeletal limbs: will it make it easier for you to know his name, his age, his dreams, his fears? To see him from the inside? And if it does, are we not doing a disservice to his sister, who lies in the searing dust beside him, a distorted, distended caricature of a human child? And there, if we feel for them, are they now more important to us than a thousand other children touched by the same famine, a thousand other young lives who will soon be food for the flies’ own myriad squirming children?
We draw our lines around these moments of pain, and remain upon our islands, and they cannot hurt us. They are covered with a smooth, safe, nacreous layer to let them slip, pearllike, from our souls without real pain.
Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives.
A life that is, like any other, unlike any other."
- Neil Gaiman

The book is second only to the wheel as the best piece of technology human beings have ever invented. A book symbolises the whole intellectual history of mankind; it's the greatest weapon ever devised in the war against stupidity. Beware of anyone who tries to make books harder to get at. And that is exactly what these closures are going to do – oh, not intentionally, except in a few cases; very few people are stupid intentionally; but that will be the effect. Books will be harder to get at. Stupidity will gain a little ground.
-Sir P. Pullman

"Life does not play dice with the universe; It plays an ineffable game of it's own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."
- Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

"Only the used key shines"

"One of the more common problems with people of the modern world, is that they often have a lot more around their ears than in between them"

I mean, I remember when I was 18 - I wanted to ♥♥♥♥ on the floor and break stuff. I remember when I was 25, I wanted to ♥♥♥♥ on the floor and break stuff. I remember when I was 35, I wanted to ♥♥♥♥ on the floor and break stuff. Now I'm 40, and I WANT TO ♥♥♥♥ ON THE FLOOR AND BREAK STUFF!"

"Nowhere. So many talk about it but so few know it. Many travel to find it, always on the move. And never will they stop and see that nowhere is with them - and they are with nowhere. Because you can only be Now and Here"

"Knowledge is indeed power, but without the wisdom to use it, even power becomes powerless"

"The meaning of life is to make life have a meaning"

"What is absolute disaster at one perspective, is harmony at another"

"The light seeks only one path and shuns all other as false. The Void seeks all possible paths and see them all as true"

"Danger is the anvil on which trust is forged"

"See, what I am saying is that minerals are a rudimentary form of consciousness. What the other people are saying is that consciousness is a complicated form of minerals"

"I'll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: it's a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin' around bumpin' into each other, got a guy up front says, '2 + 2,' and the people in the back say, '4.' Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin'. I mean, it's not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that's not a popular opinion, but that's my two cents on the issue."

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can from a wise answer"

"Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail."

"Canis Canem Edit"

"There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level."

"If your enemy has the upper hand, break it."

"There is no limit, but neither is there anything limitless; there is no exhausting, but neither is there anything inexhaustible. That is why I know that they are limitless and inexhaustible, yet do not know where they may be limited and exhaustible". ~ Wuji

"Using no way as way; Having no limitation as limitation"

"No pain, no gain / never stand down, made our own way / never going slow, we pick up the pace - this is what we wanted from a young age!"
