295
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway.

We’re just enthusiastic about what we do.
326
We need to start identifying the triggers that aggravate mental health issues in our society – bullying, social media negativity and anxiety, gender based violence, substance abuse, stigma around issues such as maternal issues, etc., and we need to speak up about these more and get to the source of the problems.
327
You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.
328
What colonialism does is cause an identity crisis about one’s own culture.
329
330
There is beauty in our roots. Sometimes we think our roots are shameful, and people tell you that you’re no good or your ancestors are no good or that you come from a neighborhood of no hope and terrible crime. But it’s about the beauty of those places, and I carry that with me.
331
Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.
332
The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.
333
It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.
334
335
Leadership is not about you; it’s about investing in the growth of others.
336
337
I’m excited about what the future will bring and I think the best is yet to come.
338
339
Jazz is about being in the moment.
340
I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
341
I eat about two meals a day vegan, is my rule of thumb. When I’m traveling, all bets are off, but I don’t cook meat in the house. I rarely cook eggs. I never use milk. But when I go out to eat for a special treat, I’ll have some meat. But I know, personally, that’s the best I’m ever going to do in my life.
342
Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.
343
344
When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
345
Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.
346
People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won’t be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that’s present.
347
348
349
I don’t think I’ve had love at first sight. But, I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve seen a person, and I’m like, ‘Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.’
350
351
Successful negotiation is not about getting to ‘yes’; it’s about mastering ‘no’ and understanding what the path to an agreement is.
352
353
I’m still learning, and that’s what life is about.
354
You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it’s all about family.
355
356
357
Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there’s something good about feeling both.
358
359
Life is a journey and it’s about growing and changing and coming to terms with who and what you are and loving who and what you are.
360
361
362
363
364
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.
365
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
366
My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life.
367
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
368
Football is about sacrifice, dedication, a lot of work, and friendship off the pitch.
369
If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.
370
371
372
373
We spend so much time sublimatin’, thinkin’ about, ‘What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?’
374
Life is too short and too sweet to complain about the silly things.
375
You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
376
Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, he was an angry, relatively young man. He founded the ANC’s military wing. When he was released, he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.
377
378
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying ‘This is who I am’.
379
380
381
Leadership is not a popularity contest; it’s about leaving your ego at the door. The name of the game is to lead without a title.
382
Sexiness is all about your personality, being genuine and confident, and being a good person.
383
It’s about respect and the morals and the value of life. And treat people how you want to be treated. That’s the biggest thing I was brought up on from my parents.
384
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.
385
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
386
387
If my leg falls off, I’ll get a prosthetic. There’d be no deep sadness about. I’d just get on with it! It’s called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what.
388
Leadership – leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.
389
Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
390
I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.
391
The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself.
392
393
394
You just got with the flow because life is just all about how you feel.
395
Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power.
396
Popeye was right about spinach: dark green, leafy vegetables are the healthiest food on the planet. As whole foods go, they offer the most nutrition per calorie.
397
When you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his actions.
398
399
I give all my life to football; I only think about football. This is what is on my mind all the time.
400
When you look good, you feel good. Confidence with what you’re wearing is very important. If you feel good, you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.
401
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
402
Before I came here I was confused about this subject. Having listened to your lecture I am still confused. But on a higher level.
403
Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
404
If you always think about your dreams or goals, work steadfastly towards them and continue to challenge yourself, you will definitely be able to realise those dreams or goals.
405
406
Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.
407
History is an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.
408
You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
409
410
The secret to success is good leadership, and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members or workers better.
411
Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person.
412
Never make predictions, especially about the future.
413
I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing.
414
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
415
It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.
416
417
That’s the thing about awards – it’s for the people who do all the hard work behind the scenes. An award is just a clap at them.
418
419
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
420
421
422
Half the lies they tell about me aren’t true.
423
Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back, and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you’re not sure about certain things, talk to your friends that you trust and your family.
424
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don’t realize what messages they are sending.
425
426
Success is all about persistence and doing the right thing for the long term.
427
Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It’s all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That’s what it’s about. Whatever you think you’re going through, just put one foot in front of the next.
428
About morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
429
430
Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
431
No matter where I am, it’s all about one thing: My fans.
432
Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird. Eventually, they’re going to be the only things separating you from everyone else.
433
Being natural is incredibly empowering for women because it’s just who you are. You’re embracing all the beautiful things about you from your head to your toes. Because when you mask so much of your natural beauty, people don’t get to see that.
434
Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.
435
436
At the end of the day, it’s all about money.
437
Allah says in the Qur’an not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. It’s who is most righteous. If I go to a mosque – and I’m a basketball player with money and prestige – if I go to a mosque and see an imam, I feel inferior. He’s better than me. It’s about knowledge.
438
If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.
439
Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It’s about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.
440
The middle of ‘America’s Women’ is about the Civil War, and how women, black and white, confronted slavery and abolition. As in every other period of crisis, the rules of sexual decorum were suspended due to emergency.
441
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
442
I think electricity will create a new world. I feel like the world will change a lot with electricity, and I wonder how it will change, it’s scary, and it’s going to be fun. I think there are so many things to think about when it comes to electric cars.
443
You can’t be against bullying without actually doing something about it.
444
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
445
446
I’ll keep going. That’s one thing about myself – I’ll roll my sleeves up and keep going.
447
448
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
449
Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.
450
The mark of higher education isn’t the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It’s the skills you gain about how to learn.
451
452
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.
453
Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.
454
You may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it.
455
Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose!
456
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
457
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.
458
It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?
459
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
460
461
Happiness is a state of mind, you know. I don’t think you are permanently happy. One is happy about certain things and not so happy about others.
462
Life is about perspective and how you look at something… ultimately, you have to zoom out.
463
I’m confident to say that if you want to grow in a profession, consistency is the key… I’m strict about my work goals and training.
464
In the end it’s about the work, not an award you get for the work.
465
It’s all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.
466
The easiest diet is, you know, eat vegetables, eat fresh food. Just a really sensible healthy diet like you read about all the time.
467
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
468
It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
469
470
I don’t care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.
471
No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.
472
The secret of my success is that I make other people money. And, never ever, ever, ever be ashamed about trying to earn as much as possible for yourself, if the person you’re working with is also making money. That’s life!
473
474
475
What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
476
The English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can’t spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting.
477
478
If you are confident about yourself and wear what you love, you will exude a style of your own.
479
If they’re not talking about you, you’re not doing something; you’re not doing anything. So if they’re talking about you, you may be doing something right. And when they talk bad about you, you just use it for motivation.
480
Life is busy. There are daily concerns and obligations that have to be met, and to take time to think about how precious and special a human life is that you only get one, and that every wasted minute is lost. You can’t get it back.
481
Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
482
You can never satisfy other people, I learned. End of the day, it’s extremely important that you know yourself better than anybody else, and if you can do that, it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about you, good or bad.
483
Business is all about risk taking and managing uncertainties and turbulence.
484
485
Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.
486
Acting is not about being famous, it’s about exploring the human soul.
487
488
489
The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.
490
491
If you feel good about who you are inside, it will radiate.
492
I can honestly say – and it’s a big surprise to me – that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
493
The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites.
494
Why should I care about posterity? What’s posterity ever done for me?
495
496
The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn’t simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it’s a story about who you want to be.
497
498
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
499
History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there.
500
For myself, personally, I am never really aware of timing or anything because I am passionate about what I do, so I have found that if you really love what you do, then time flies.
501
It’s not just about being sexy, it’s about being confident and me being confident in my sexuality.
502
Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in – democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It’s not about any of those things now. It’s about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed.
503
It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.
504
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it’s a shield.
505
I try to keep it real. I don’t have time to worry about what I’m projecting to the world. I’m just busy being myself.
506
You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.
507
For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I’m human and I’m normal – well, semi-normal.
508
Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.
509
510
You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
511
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
512
513
Fluency is the developmental process that connects decoding with everything we know about words to make the meaning of the text come to life. Fluency is a wonderful bridge to comprehension and to a life-long love of reading.
514
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
515
516
Identity in America is complicated but it’s also simple: it’s about whom you identify with and who identifies with you.
517
Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.
518
Vision 2030 is about a lot of big opportunities, so Aramco is one of them, Neom another opportunity.
519
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that’s not what America’s about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don’t contract them.
520
What is Apple, after all? Apple is about people who think ‘outside the box,’ people who want to use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things that make a difference, and not just to get a job done.
521
There are a number of women who have brought about immense change in society.
522
For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something; it’s being happy with who you are.
523
524
525
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
526
Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
527
On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar – one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating. You’re going to burn at least 1,000 calories. I’ll try to take in about 400-600 calories during a round and drink water.
528
We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
529
530
I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.
531
Leadership is about doing the right thing, even if it going against a vast number of naysayers and mediocre people.
532
533
People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.
534
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
535
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
536
We live on this speck called Earth – think about what you might do, today or tomorrow – and make the most of it.
537
538
Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.
539
Don’t underestimate the power of your vision to change the world. Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems.
540
541
542
I don’t care much about music. What I like is sounds.
543
544
I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.
545
546
I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.
547
Because you know what happens when you say ‘hello‘ or ‘good morning?’ You make a connection. And isn’t that what being human is all about?
548
549
As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you – the first time around.
550
551
Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.
552
Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You’re not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you’re at peace with yourself. Learning life’s lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.
553
Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.
554
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
555
556
The most obvious things are often right there, but you don’t think about them because you’ve narrowed your vision.
557
558
The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived.
559
New technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It’s all about how people choose to use it.
560
561
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
562
As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I’ve got left?
563
I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.
564
565
Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.
566
An education is not so much about making a living as making a person.
567
I just think I’m blessed. I love the Lord Jesus Christ. I have a great grandmother that passed away at 104 and two grandparents that passed away at 97 and 95, and they never worried about protein. They just enjoyed life, and that’s what I’m doing.
568
569
We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.
570
There’s definitely healing properties to being in proximity to the ocean and that breeze. There’s something about that Caribbean climate and humidity.
571
572
I never worry about the problem. I worry about the solution.
573
We are the United States of Amnesia, which is encouraged by a media that has no desire to tell us the truth about anything, serving their corporate masters who have other plans to dominate us.
574
One way to feel good about yourself is to love yourself… to take care of yourself.
575
It doesn’t pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he’ll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn’t say.
576
Live your life to its fullest potential and don’t really care too much about what other people think of you.
577
People know if you care about them. How do you show people that you care? By caring for them. By putting their needs first. By sacrificing for them. By serving them. Do that, and you’ll build a great team.
578
All we have is today. Just live it. We don’t know about tomorrow. So, enjoy the day. Love yourself, and spread love around.
579
The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it’s all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.
580
We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love – first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
581

When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I’d read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.

The strangest part about being famous is you don’t get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.
584
Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.
585
I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell – you see, I have friends in both places.

Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.
589
I’m really excited about what the future holds and to grow as an individual and as an artist.
590
It’s a funny thing that when a man hasn’t anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.

592
I learned that life is filled with ups and downs and it’s just about how you react to them.
593
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.
594
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

Being the Queen is not all about singing, and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much to do with your service to people. And your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well.
597
The thing about hip-hop today is it’s smart, it’s insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.

When you love someone and care about them, you want what’s best for them, and it’s always the hardest thing to realize maybe you aren’t what’s best for them, how hard you try.
602
603
I don’t think about art when I’m working. I try to think about life.
604
Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
605
If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
606
There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.
607
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.
611
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
612
Listen to your mom and dad! They are almost always right, especially about boys.
613
614
I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
615
Knowing is not understanding. There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it.
616
617
Make no mistake about it. Bad habits are called ‘bad’ for a reason. They kill our productivity and creativity. They slow us down. They hold us back from achieving our goals. And they’re detrimental to our health.
618
I don’t think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
619
No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.
620
If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
621
Football’s not just about scoring goals – it’s about winning.
622
I’m a very private person. I like staying home and doing my stuff. I hate people invading on my privacy. I hate talking about my private life.

624
When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
625
626
Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.
627
628
Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
629
What we call the ‘world’ and the ‘universe’ is only one frequency range in an infinite number sharing the same space. The interdimensional entities I write about are able to move between these frequencies or dimensions and manipulate our lives.
630
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
