― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."

— Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

On The Road

Author: Jack Kerouac

Year: 1957

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”

Middlemarch

Author: George Eliot

Year: 1874

“We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, “Oh, nothing!” Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts— not to hurt others.”

"We want to stay the same, but we can't. The older we get, the further away we get from who we think we are."

Chief Wayne Unser - Sons of Anarcy.

"If you fight of your own free will, any resulting crime or punishment is of your own making. Accepting them is a part of that ideal. But if the desire was borrowed from another, the ideals you uphold are mere fantasies. There must be a reason for fighting, but that reason must never be an ideal. If you fight for an ideal, you can only save ideals. That does not entail helping others. A reason to fight is the desire to save something. At the very least it is for you... Salvation by the hands of another is not salvation. Such salvation is like money. When used, it passes to another's hands. It is true that you can probably achieve your wish to save others, but there is no hope in saving yourself in doing so. You will repeat the cycle until you die, clinging to ideals that are not your own... In the end, you can save neither others nor yourself. A lie of a life."

"Angel of death and mercy, come take me from this cage cause these four walls and iron bars have been witness to the rage of a thousand broken hearts in chains. Like a cripple without his cane, a king without a crown, the passion that once consumed me has turned to ashes on the ground..."
