When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.

If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident. Our words — our lives — our pains — nothing! The taking of our lives — lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler — all! That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph.
I hope that mankind will at length, as they call themselves responsible creatures, have the reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats
Benjamin FranklinDer Spruch darf mit Autorenangabe frei verwendet werden, da die urheberrechtliche Schutzfrist abgelaufen ist († 17. April 1790) Zur Autorenbiographie
I wish you the best, I wish you nothing less Than everything you've ever dreamed of I hope that you find love along the way But most of all, I wish you'd stay.
There ist a saying in Tibetan: "Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength." No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.
Ich weiß nur noch einen Schriftsteller, den ich betreff der Ehrlichkeit Schopenhauer gleich, ja noch höher stelle: Das ist Montaigne. Dass ein solcher Mensch geschrieben hat, dadurch ist wahrlich die Lust, auf dieser Erde zu leben, vermehrt worden.
Friedrich NietzscheDer Spruch darf mit Autorenangabe frei verwendet werden, da die urheberrechtliche Schutzfrist abgelaufen ist († 25. August 1900) Zur Autorenbiographie
Epikur und Montaigne, Goethe und Spinoza, Plato und Rousseau, Pascal und Schopenhauer. Mit diesen muss ich mich auseinandersetzen, wenn ich lange allein gewandert bin, von ihnen will ich mir Recht und Unrecht geben lassen [...]
Just realize that things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way.
For us there is no victory, there are only battles. And in the end the best you can hope for is to find a place to make your stand. And if you're very lucky you find someone willing to stand with you...
But even when our hopes give way to reality, and we finally have to surrender to the truth, it just means we’ve lost to today’s battle, not tomorrow’s war.
Some wars result in complete and total victory. Some wars end with a peace offering. And some wars end in hope... But all these wars are nothing compared to the most frightening war of all. The one you have yet to fight.
Thomas Edison's last words were 'It's very beautiful over there'. I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.

This is the way you left me I'm not pretending Nohope, no love, no glory No happy ending This is the way that we loved Like it was forever Then live the rest of our lifes But not together
