Chinesische Weisheit

Mögest du in interessanten Zeiten leben.

How many times is it appropriate to say "what?"
before you just nod and smile
because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

"End Of All Days" by Thirty Seconds To Mars

I punish you with pleasure
and I pleasure you with pain.

Saying

Drunk words are sober thoughts.

A universal paradox

You are free to choose,
but you are not free from the consequence(s) of your choice.

Silence

doesn't always mean yes or no.
Sometimes it just means: I'm tired
of eyplaning myself to people who
don't even care to understand.

"Gestalt-Gebet" von Fritz Perl

Ich lebe mein Leben und du lebst dein Leben.
Ich bin nicht auf dieser Welt, um deinen Erwartungen zu entsprechen -
und du bist nicht auf dieser Welt, um meinen Erwartungen zu entsprechen.
Ich bin ich und du bist du.
Wenn wir uns zufällig finden, dann ist das schön.
Wenn nicht, dann ist das auch das gut so.

James Earl Jones

One of the hardest things in life is having
words in your heart that you can't utter.

Sorry for not much talking lately.
But in my head it's loud enough.

James Moriarty, BBC Sherlock

Falling is like flying
...only there is a more permanent destination.

Ernest Hemingway

Katzen erreichen mühelos, was uns
Menschen versagt bleibt:
durchs Leben zu gehen ohne Lärm zu machen.

Robert A. Heinlein

Versuche nie eine Katze an Sturheit zu übertreffen.

May the bridges
I burn
lead the way.

We're forcing our pain away
by chasing after distractions.

Sorbas

Wer noch nie am Abgrund stand,
dem können keine Flügel wachsen.

Hoping for the best,
prepared for the worst,
and
unsurprised by anything
in between.

"Terrorist" von Alligatoah

Und es liegt nicht an deiner Weltansicht,
sondern viel mehr an der Welt an sich.

They want to see you do good
but never better than them.
Remember that.

We fool ourselves so much,
we could do it for a living.

I think she's caught
between who she is and
who she wants to be.

John Waters

If you go home with somebody
and they don't have books,
don't fuck them.

To those who stay put,
the world is but an imaginary place.
But to the movers, the makers,
and the shakers,
the world is all around them,
an endless invitation.

Feelings are just visitors,
let them come and go.

Absence,
the highest form of presence.

Life's too short for
crappy coffee and
people who don't care.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Daniel: Fragen kannste ja.
Rusty: Fragen kann ich ja.

You win some.
You lose some.

Übertreibe ich wirklich oder muss ich mir am Ende vorwerfen,
dass meine Worte nicht überzeugend genug waren?

J.R.R. Tolkien

All we have to decide
is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Melissa McCall, MTV Teen Wolf

Be your own anchor.

No more fear.
No more dark shadows.

Stop setting yourself on fire for someone
who stays to watch you burn.

If they miss you, they'll call.
If they want you, they'll say it.
If they care, they'll show it.
And if not, they aren't worth your time.

There are 2 reasons why we don't trust people:
1st: we don't know them.
2nd: we know them.

Do you ever
get the feeling
that this life
isn't yours?

That you have
no control?

That everyone
around you is
living and
you're just
breathing.
Watching.
Waiting.

For what?
