Like many others, I read about the lives and work of many great artists, writers, physicists, musicians, innovators, and thinkers. But rather than quoting them, I generally prefer to share my interpretation of their ideas. I feel I haven’t assimilated their words well if I share them plain rather than kneading them with my thoughts.
Benjamin Franklin, Elon Musk, Virginia Woolf, Ruskin Bond, Rainer Maria Rilke, Vincent van Gogh, Marcel Proust, Nietzsche, Josh Waitzkin, and The Little Prince of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-I’ve adapted lessons, inspirations, and visions of all these great human beings.
But it is not always about the source or amalgamation of motivation. Ideas and inspiration need to keep floating in the universe irrespective of where they come from. After all, we are only the means to an end, and we all need a guiding light.
In this piece, I am sharing the most inspiring, deep quotes about life I have come across. The hope is to read these avant-garde life quotes, to come back to them whenever we need them, and sift through them even when we feel we don’t require them. Thus we keep ourselves soaked in inspiration and don’t let it deplete.
Let the journey of imagination and belief begin. (Also Read: My Ideas on Self-Improvement)
Categories in which I have organized these good quotes recur and follow a random order.
Because,
If we asked out of all the things in this universe which one, if altered in a random way, would remain unchanged, the answer is a random sequence. A random sequence changed in a random way remains random. A mess remains a mess.
Heinz Pagels

It really is amazing how much that has to do with your attitude.”
Stan Lee

But this is only appearance. It is really only the mechanism of the re-assumed habit. Slowly, slowly the wound to the soul begins to make itself felt, like a bruise, which only slowly deepens its terrible ache, till it fills all the psyche. And when we think we have recovered and forgotten, it is then that the terrible after-effects have to be encountered at their worst.”

Seneca, as he noted in Letters From A Stoic.
“Live as if no one is watching.”-Yours Truly
On Doing Less.
“Most people think that big success is time-consuming and complicated. As a result, their calendars and to-do lists become overloaded and overwhelming. Success starts to feel out of reach so they settle for less. Unaware that big success comes when we do a few things well, they get lost trying to do too much and in the end accomplish too little. Over time they lower their expectations, abandon their dreams, and allow their life to get small. This is the wrong thing to make small.
Going small is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do. It is recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most. When you go as small as possible, you will be staring at one thing. And that’s the point .”
Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, as they explained in their book The One Thing.

“To use your head you have to go out of your mind.”-Timothy Leary
Either do the thing, or worry. Choose one.-Yours Truly
Falling Leaf by Ajneya (Translated from Hindi by the poet) From this spreading golden canopy There fell but one solitary leaf But how many times In every shiver Of its insignificant falling Did I not die!
One moment is dark,
and the next moment there is light,
you don't have the slightest hint
of what's going to come next,
then why do you knit your brows,
smile
for the now,
for the blue sky under which you sleep,
for the bright moon that gives strength,
for the bread you have just had,
smile
for you still breathe,
you don't know what would happen,
but don't be scared,
for you cannot change anything,
all you can do is face the today fearlessly,
and that might just do it.
Yours Truly.
Powerful Quotes About Life
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
By Mary Oliver, From the poem "In Blackwater Woods".
To the Great Ocean, Of the sunken arm that throws up a drop of water nothing remains but a kiss of salt. Of the bodies of mankind along your shores a misty scent of wet flowers is all that lasts. Your energy seems to slip away without ever being exhausted, it seems to circle back into your calm. Pablo Neruda
On Pausing.
With every click of the shutter, you're trying to press pause on your life. If only so you can feel a little more comfortable moving on living in a world stuck on play Morii, From Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.
On Strength.
So few grains of happiness measured against all the dark and still the scales balance. The world asks of us only the strength we have and we give it. Then it asks more, and we give it. by Jane Hirshfield.
In a moment, a moment is gone. Let’s live it, not spend it.
