Original aus "The Sign of the Four" von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:
"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere."

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.
It all sounds great until the day you find yourself confronted by a choice. A choice to make a difference, to help someone - or to walk away and save yourself.
Not a day goes by that I don't wish I could take back what I did. Sure, I was desperate – like a lot of people back then – but that don't change what I did.
There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket - there are only 5 of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?
Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am. And most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you.
Dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and dreaming, anything can be real and then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and then you realize.
When you're little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding right under the bed. When you get older the monsters are different. Self doubt, Loneliness, Regret. And though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark.
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.
Once upon a time, happier ever after. The stories we tell are the stuff of dreams. Fairy tales don't come true. Reality is much stormier. Much murkier. Much scarier. Reality it’s so much more interesting than living happily ever after.
Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.
Maybe I do believe it. All this meant to be stuff. Why not believe it? Really, who doesn’t want more romance in their life? Maybe it’s just up to us to make it happen, to show up and be that for each other. At least that way we’ll find out for sure if you’re meant to be or not.
Carpe diem, how annoying is carpe diem? How are you supposed to plan a life, a career, a family, if you’re always carpe-ing the diem? If we all ceased every moment of every day, there wouldn’t be doctors who would sit through med school. We’d all be too busy living in the now. Whatever that means.
We don't get unlimited chances to have the things we want. And this I know: nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could've changed your life!
You gotta wonder though, what kind of bastard must I have been that nobody was there to claim me? I mean, I'm no, I'm not the most charming guy on the world so I've been told, but nobody?
You're got to give a little more than you take You've got to leave a little more than was here You may be prideful of the strides you will make But keep one thing clear: You're just a player in a much bigger plan And still you have to give it all you can The very measure of your soul is at stake You've got to give a little more than you take
You are to concerned with what was and what will be There's a saying Yesterday is history Tomorrow is a mystery But today is a gift That is why it is called present
But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
