The rules...

Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

 - His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Believe nothing

Believe nothing, 

no matter where you read it or who has said it, 

not even if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense

- Buddha

The paradox of our age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time;

We have more degrees, but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgment;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicines, but less healthiness;

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble crossing the street to meet

the new neighbor.

We’ve built more computers to hold more

information to produce more copies than ever,

but have less communications;

We have become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These times are times of fast foods;

but slow digestion;

Tall man but short character;

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It is time when there is much in the window,

but nothing in the room.

The real lover...

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.

A girl doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her

All a girl wants

A woman’s past love affairs

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessens her love for them are usually stupid and weak. A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.
- Marilyn Monroe

The people who just want to be heard

I don’t understand these kids auditioning for x-factor claiming they “just wanna make music”.Cut the crap! Let me introduce you to the kid teaching himself how to play guitar… the busker in the train station… the guys and girls recording their own demos and playing the small venues… the unpublished songwriter with countless books full of lyrics… the people who just want to be heard, who want to express themselves, their creativity and their artistic worth.They are the ones who just want to make music! They are the real artists! Anybody auditions for x-factor it’s because they want to be famous! Period! Otherwise they’d already be out there “making music”
- Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden

Rebel

Other people call me a rebel, but I just feel like I’m living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you’re a woman.
- Joan Jett

Everyone’s entitled to not give a fuck about your opinion

I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks and I never have. As the saying goes “everyone’s entitled to their opinion” well, I’m entitled to not give a fuck about your opinion. Anyone who gives another person shit for how they look or what music they like is just insecure. Think about it, they find you so important that they take time out of their life to fuck with you? Seems pretty weird right?
- Rob Zombie

Music

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music
- Aldous Huxley

I’m somebody else

I think one thing today and I think another thing tomorrow. I change during the course of the day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else. I don’t know who I am most of the time. It doesn't even matter to me.
- Bob Dylan

What other people think of you

What other people think of you is none of your business.

- Paulo Coelho

Do what you have to do

Just keep moving forward and don’t give a shit about what anybody thinks.
Do what you have to do, for you.
- Johnny Depp

Enemies?

You have enemies? Good.
That means you’ve stood up for something in your life.
- Winston Churchill

What you think about me

I don’t care what you think about me.
I don’t think about you at all.
- Coco Chanel

It is because he suffers himself

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.
- Thich Naht Hanh

Humans devote themselves

Humans are the only animals that devote themselves, day in and day out, to making one another unhappy
- H.L Mencken

We’re all damaged

We’re all damaged in our own way. Nobody’s perfect.
I think we are all somewhat screwy, every single one of us
- Johnny Depp

Learn from experience of others

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
- Douglas Adams
