"A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion."
--Alan Wilson Watts
"Close some doors. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they no longer lead somewhere."

--Paulo Coehlo
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us."

--Marcel Proust
"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot."

--D. H. Lawrence
"When you finally see that you can have almost anything in the world that you want, but that nothing you give to yourself actually brings an end to your wanting, then you’ll slowly cease giving yourself to this painful nature that lives to want… which turns out to be what you really wanted all along."

--Guy Finley
