Did I make someone laugh and smile when they would much, rather frown? Was I the one who picked them up when everyone put them down? Am I, the one they confide in and know their conversations secure?

How does it end and, while we’re at it, what’s the story about?”I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one, that has frightened and inspired us, so that we live in a Pearl White serial of continuing thought and wonder.

I think this is the only story we have and that it occurs on all levels of feeling and intelligence.

Nad päästavad meid.” - Marek Kahro

132. “Mene više ništa ne može da porazi. Ni začudi. Ni zasmeje. Zato iskreno sažaljevam žive. Oni ne znaju da je od prostora na zemlji čoveku neophodan samo prostor komotnog ležaja. Od vremena, dok voli. Od imanja, da nije ni gladan ni žedan. Od znanja, da zna svoje telo. Od prava, da sme da ne voli onog koga ne voli. I još ponešto slobode za sebičluk i igru” - Dobrica Ćosić

133. “Ali život se nikome, razumete li me, nikome na ovom svetu ne duguje. Ni majci, ni deci, ni prijateljima, ni jedom idealu! Život je moje neprikosnoveno pravo! U šta i kako ću ga satreti, moja je lična stvar.” - Dobrica Ćosić

134. “If you are on the right path, it will always be uphill.” - Henry B. Eyring

135. “Water liked to be free. Given time, water could overcome any barrier, and it hated to be trapped, just like Percy.” - Rick Riordan

136. “Don't allow money to become the yardstick by which you measure the worth of the world around you!” - Andrew James Pritchard

137. “...a small stream...sings a carefree song as it runs by your house. It is so nonthreatening that you can sit by it, look at your reflection in the water, and even wash your hands in it. It is yours, your personal stream. Yet you know that it has originated in the sea and is on its way back to where it has come from. When passing by your house, however, it is yours. You can say it is a personal moment you have torn out of eternity to keep in your pocket for yourself.” - Fatemeh Keshavarz

138. “Never cry for the same reason twice.” - Stephen Richards
