"You're the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you."
"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
"There is no friend as loyal as a book."
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
"If you're looking for sympathy you'll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary."
"To love would be an awfully big adventure."
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all."
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone."
"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you."
"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not."
"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
"A room without books is like a body without a soul."
"Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? Where is the foundling’s father hidden? Our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it"
