“What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.”
"When I hear you give your reasons," I remarked, "the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours."
......... "You see, but you do not observe"
"Success is not final;
failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts."
- Winston Churchill -
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up...
Our answers were things like astronaut, president... or in my case, a princess.
When we were ten, they asked again,
and we answered, rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist.
But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer.
Well, how about this... ...who the hell knows?
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions,
this is the time to make mistakes.
Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere.
Fall in love, a lot.
Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that.
Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So, make as many mistakes as you can.
That way, someday,
when they ask what we wanna be...
we won't have to guess.
We'll know."
-"The only dream worth having, ...is to dream that you will live while you’re alive and die only when you’re dead."

"Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

"- How big is the universe?
-Infinite.
-How do you know?
-Because all the data indicates it.
-But it hasn't been proven yet? You haven't seen it. How do you know for sure?
-I don't. I just believe it.
-It's the same with love, I guess"
"Haven't you ever been on a train and wondered about the lives of the people who live near the tracks? The lives you've never lived."

"මහන්සිවෙන අයව දෛවය කවදාවත් අතාරින්නේ නෑ. මෙතැන ඉදගෙන කදුළු හලනවට වඩා හොදයි, සති දෙකක් දාඩිය හලන්න"

" -ලෝකයගේ සිතිවිල්ල වෙනස් වෙන එකක් නෙවෙයි.
-ලෝකයව අතාරින්න අයියේ. තමන්ව වෙනස් කරගන්න. සමහරවිට ඔයාව දැකලා ලෝකයත් වෙනස් වෙයි"

"I beg you to not give into mediocrity, like the other 98 percent of the world. Because you would be doing yourselves, and the world, a greatest disservice. You're all too smart. You're too smart to let it go to waste. And you've got one shot at this. Don't let a moment of it slip by. Grab it, snatch it up, make it yours. Celebrate every moment. Celebrate every breath.
“The person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last. Love is not an end. It's a process through which one person attempts to know another.”
"We've turned our backs on the most important duty that we possess, to live a life that is rich in experience, that's of our own independent choosing. Why don't we make death our closest companion, so that we can finally have a second, a millisecond to appreciate that little bit of time that we have left. And most important of all let us live well, so that we may die well, because we've never been so close to death that this very moment.
"But even if we make mistakes, terrible things, we can try to make things right. And that's what matters, trying."
"You should stop doubting yourself. You have something most men go their entire lives without. Do you know what that is? A heart that is full. Only true brave man could open himself up so honestly and completely as you do."
