Pink Floyd.

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

Just about every line in The Catcher in the Rye. I also love this quote from This Boy's Life, by Tobias Wolff:

"The whole point of a trip to the city is the moment of leaving it, the moment it closes its back like a trap sprung too late."

This quote by Louise Bourgeois has greatly influenced the way I think about my art/design practice:

"I am not what I am; I am what I do with my hands"

 

[mikey3000]

"it is not the aliennness of the homoerotic that sets some straight men's nerves on edge; it is it's very familiarity. Men can only learn to be men from other men, in a pedagogy as intimate and tender as the bond between lovers."

-Robin Metcalfe

never attribute to malice what you can equally attribute to stupidity .

 

[refujiunderground]

what can't kill you will make you stronger unless it breaks your back.

big spenders are broke, thrifty people are rich.

 

[Latimer]

"La beaute' n'est que la promesse de bonheur."

"Beauty is but the promise of happiness."

-- Stendhal, "Libres Pensees"

Note that he states neither "beauty is happiness" nor "beauty is the promise of happiness", and by using the construction, "n'est que" emphasizes that it is only the promise of happiness.

Love is the early bird who is better late than never.
