“We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one.” ~Voltaire

“Do not let your fire go out, Replace an irreplaceble spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonley frustrations for the life you deserve but never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exsits, it is real, its possible, and it is yours.” ~Ayn Rand

“Like most others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles – a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other – that kept me going.” ~Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

“What’s the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” ~Inception
