"You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave."
Quentin Crisp
"You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun."
Al Capone
Mafia boss
"Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It's a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door. So it's literally physical strength to open and shut the door. So if I lose that strength, I cannot write a novel any more. I can write some short stories, but not a novel."
Haruki Murakami
Author
"Good things come to those who wait, shit tends to show up pretty much straight away, doesn't it?"
Rich Hall
Comedian
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
Steve Jobs
Co-founder of Apple, Inc.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs
