created on 10/25/2007  |  http://fubar.com/quotes/b146216

Yesterday

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose." -Lyndon B. Johnson

Normal

"Sex is normal, desire is normal, attention is normal, and that's okay." - Emily Ratajkowski

Progress

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." -George Bernard Shaw -

Knowing not enough

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Rebellion of freedom

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."-Albert Camus

Defend

“It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.” ― Emilie Autumn

Awareness

“Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops.” ― Emilie Autumn

Who has who

“Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.” ― Ray Bradbury

The Secret

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and feel - that is the purpose of life." -The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

 

I don’t care what Rotten Tomatoes said - I loved The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Then again, I’m a sucker for awkward humor, underdog characters, and, of course, inspiring travel cinematography and a good quote. Here’s my take on the movie’s mantra:

• To see the world. I read this in two ways: first, with emphasis on the world - travel and experience new cultures - and, second, with emphasis on see. As Marcel Proust says, “Discovery consists not of seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.”

• Things dangerous to come to. With the exception of ignoring your survival instincts, things that excite and scare you at the same time are usually good things to try. Failure isn’t as bad or as permanent as our imaginations and the fear in our hearts make it out to be.

• To see behind walls. Be curious. Dig deeper. Notice things other people overlook. Question. Open doors.

• To draw closer. Really soak things up. Embrace the world, instead of hiding from it. 

• To find each other. Recognize the oneness of all people and things, and feel at ease in this harmony. Help each other. Let people in.

• To feel. Let the highs and the lows wash over and envelope you, realizing that both have their purpose, and neither are permanent.
In the end, this quote is just another stab at the age-old question about how we should spend our short stay on this planet. Does it satisfy the question for your life? If not, what is it missing? Food for thought. :)

To Be Yourself

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
