William Barclay "There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why." Alfred Hitchcock "A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it." Jordan B. Peterson "The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it." Arthur C. Clarke "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." Mark Manson "The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one's negative experience is itself a positive experience." |
