The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble.
The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
The world is full of good people. If you can't find one, be one.
What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?
No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
"What is the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?"
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
"Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."
"Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to look out."
"I think the most important thing is to enjoy what you're doing. If you enjoy it, then you'll do it well."
You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start.
And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all. The white race believes—believes with all its heart—that it is their right to take the land. To kill Indians. Make war. Enslave their brothers. This nation shouldn’t exist, if there is any justice in the world, for its foundations are murder, theft, and cruelty.
The world may be mean, but people don’t have to be, not if they refuse.
If you want to see what this nation is all about, you have to ride the rails. Look outside as you speed through, and you’ll find the true face of America.
Caring too much for objects can destroy you. Only—if you care for a thing enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn’t it? And isn’t the whole point of things—beautiful things—that they connect you to some larger beauty?
The ordinary is extraordinary if you look closely enough.
If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.
