Louis CK // "I'm bored is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever, inwardly. Do you understand? The fact that you're alive is amazing, so you don't get to say I'm bored."
Muhammad Ali // "Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win..."

Charlie Chaplin // "Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing... Think of the power of the universe — turning the Earth, growing trees. That's the same power within you — if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it."
Vincent van Gogh // "I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when...I will make something good everyday, on a regular basis... I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance."
Oscar Wilde // "Don’t imagine that your perfection lies in accumulating or possessing external things... Ordinary riches can be stolen from a man. Real riches cannot... And so, try to so shape your life that external things will not harm you. And try also to get rid of personal property... Personal property hinders individualism at every step."
