John Lennon
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
John Lennon

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Susan Sontag
“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention. attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. stay eager.”
Susan Sontag

David Searls
“Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.”
David Searls

Walt Whitman
“All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.”
walt whitman
