“The three most deadly toxins are human selfishness, contentedness in ignorance, and an overwhelming sense of entitlement. Without fail, these will kill all that resists them and poison the minds of the living.”

― Tom Robbins

“There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.”

True Living.

“She’s the kind of girl a guy meets when he’s too young, and he fucks up because there’s too much living to do. But later he realizes she’s perfect.”

Masanobu Fukuoka

“Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.”

Masanobu Fukuoka

"Happiness is not a destination: it is a manner of travelling. Happiness is not an end in itself. It is a by-product of working, playing, loving and living."

Where can we go

Where can we go
 to find God
 if we cannot see Him
in our own hearts 
and in every living being.

~Stephen King

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

The purpose of life,

The purpose of life, 

is to find something worth dying for, 

and then living for it.

A life wasn't defined by

A life wasn't defined by the moment you died, but all the others you'd spent living.

living on the edge,

If your not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

coldest people you meet

All the hardest, 

coldest people you meet 

were once as soft as water. 

And that's the tragedy of living.

Dale Carnegie

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon--instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today."

If you are living your life without giving an "f", You are living a li[ ]e .

someone out there needs you to keep living

they remind me of what's truly important. it's not just life, but living.

i want to appreciate the times when moments are made into memories.
i want to embrace them, cherish them, and never forget that they come so few and far between.
i know that wherever life takes me, these moments will always follow.
they remind me of what's truly important. it's not just life, but living.
it's the journey, the destination and all the points in between. and i must admit, i like what i see.

~ Oscar Wilde

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Life is about laughing & living, in good & bad times. Getting through whatever comes our way & looking back & smiling.
