I'm free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. ~ Robert Heinlein

Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill. ~ Jacob M. Braude

I no longer have the fear of being alone. Its cool to find out that you don't need a boyfriend to be happy. ~ Drew Barrymore

If you really have a lot on your mind, and you really want to do something with yourself... hating someone is giving them too much. Just leave them alone. Its like when someone wants to hand you a big pile of horseshit. You don't have to take it. ~ Henry Rollins

His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Good Karma Instructions for Life
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risks.
When you loose, don't loose the lesson.
Follow the three R's:
respect for self
respect for others
responsibility for all your actions
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend some time alone every day.
Open arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Share your knowledge. Its a way to achieve immortality.
Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go somewhere you've never been.
Remember that the best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Judge your successes by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

I pulled an arm away because I didn't want to hear this. I actually needed to feel I was alone. Why did I need the grief of others? Wasn't mine enough? Why did I need to feel that this abandonment was plural, when it was heavy enough singular? The best way ahead that I could see was to drag this thing off and digest it on my own, like a python with an outsized kill. ~ Sebastian Faulks (from "Engleby")
