Worldview, Outlook Quotes

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible....

Copy quote

Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Lord Henry Wotton

Human, People

Appearance

How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning.

You see the world as it is, and you see the world as it could be. What you don't see is what everybody else sees: the giant, gaping chasm in between.

I was thinking... The times when you want to cry are when you have to try your hardest. That’s why I decided I’ll cry in general. Then, when I have to shed tears for a time when I really want to cry, my tears would have run dry.

Most of us... go through life with blinders on, madam, knowing only that one little station to which we were born. But you, madam, on the other hand, have had the rare privilege of escaping your bonds for just a spell to see life from an entirely new perspective. How you choose to use that information, madam, is entirely up to you.

Wake up to Reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.
The longer you live, the more you will realize, that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen... everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates wars. And Hatred is born in order to protect Love.
There are nexuses, causal relationships that cannot be separated.
I want to sever the fate of this world. A world of only Victors. A world of only Peace.
A world of only Love. I will create such a World.
I am... the Ghost of the Uchiha.
For truly this reality... is a Hell.

Look on the bright side, suicide.

Still, the better she could draw, the worse her life got—until nothing in her real world was good enough. It got until she didn’t belong anywhere. It got so nobody was good enough, refined enough, real enough. Not the boys in high school. Not the other girls. Nothing was as real as her imagined world.

I was naturally a loner, content just to live with a woman, eat with her, sleep with her, walk down the street with her. I didn't want conversation, or to go anywhere except the racetrack or the boxing matches. I didn't understand t.v. I felt foolish paying money to go into a movie theatre and sit with other people to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

Beauty increases happiness. Happiness improves outlook.

Dans ce monde qui n'a ni queue ni tete
Je n'en fais qu'a ma tete

Copy quote

Mylene Farmer

Sans contrefaçon

— Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this? I mean, what you're fighting for.
— We might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we'll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die.
— What of it? Then it'll be out of its misery.
