Art is long and life is short, and success is very far off.
Things are rough all over.
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.
Take responsibility for making your own life beautiful.
I don’t think that life happens by sitting back and waiting. People hold their cards so tight to their chest. Life is short. Tell people you love them. What’s the worst that’s going to happen?
Day by day, what you do is who you become.
Change is the only constant.
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
Life is unfair. And it’s not fair that life is unfair.
When I was younger I was looking for this magic meaning of life. It’s very simple now. Making the lives of others better, doing something of lasting value. That’s the meaning of life, it’s that simple.
The way you live your days is the way you live your life.
The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
To the contrary: His life hummed with meaning and purpose. But the meaning he wrestled from existence lay beyond the comfortable path: McCandless distrusted the value of things than came easily.
Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.
Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.
Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.
Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That’s when you shout, “Do your worst, for I will do mine!” and you will be remembered forever.
Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.
