“Don't destroy yourself by allowing negative people add gibberish and debris to your character, reputation, and aspirations. Keep all dreams alive but discreet, so that those with unhealthy tongues won't have any other option than to infest themselves with their own diseases.” PeopleCharacterDreamAliveDiseaseNegativeAddTongueReputationAspirationAllowingUnhealthyNegative PeopleDebrisDiscreet Author:Michael Bassey
“The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all species are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.” IfsWorldShouldYearsRunningPurposeSufferingUniverseEvilNaturalAnimalAliveMinutesDyingDesignEvolutionAmountDiseasePropertySpeciesBottomSentencesIndifferenceContemplationDecentTake MeThirstNatural WorldStarvationParasitesGod Delusion Author:Richard Dawkins
“1,000 cows in the U.S. are alive at night and dead in the morning. These cows on the ground are ground into feed, making their fellows not only carnivores but cannibals.

“What I need is courage, and this often fails me. And it is also a fact that since my disease, when I am in the fields I am overwhelmed by a feeling of loneliness to such a horrible extent that I shy away from going out. But this will change all the same as time goes on. Only when I stand a painting before my easel do I feel somewhat alive. Never mind, this is going to change too, for now my health is so good that I suppose the physical part of me will gain the victory.” NeedsFeelsMindFactsFeelingsAliveFailingLonelinessFieldsPaintingGoes OnVictoryDiseaseGainsHorribleShyGoing OutOverwhelmedTime Goes On Book:Van Gogh, letters from Provence Source: Van Gogh, letters from Provence
“It does say something about a society when those who sue physicians and hospitals make as much or more money than those who heal disease. It says something about a society when it glorifies and rewards those who litigate while it demonizes and punishes those who produce the drugs and devices that keep it citizens alive and well.” WellsDoeAliveProduceCitizensDrugDiseaseRewardsHealDevicesHospitalsMore MoneyPhysiciansGlorify Author:Dennis Prager
“The fifty trillion cells in your body are constantly talking to each other as they keep your heart beating, digest your food, eliminate toxins, protect you from infection and disease, and carry out the countless other functions that keep you alive. While these processes may seem out of your conscious control, hundreds of studies have shown that nothing holds more power over the body than the mind.” MindHeartMayBodySeemsProcessTalkingStudyAliveProtectDiseaseConsciousFunctionYour BodyCellsFiftyInfectionProtect YouHeart BeatToxinsHeart Beating Author:Deepak Chopra
“I guess I just couldn't see standing there -- alive, talking, thinking, breathing, being -- one second, and dead the next. It really bothered me.

“I wrote this [Most Kings] before MJ died, and his death only proves my point: When he was alive, the King of Pop, people were tireless in taking him down, accepting as truth every accusation people made against him, assuming the worst until they drove him away. When he died, suddenly he was beloved again - people realized that the charges against him might really have been bogus, and that the skin lightening was really caused by a disease, and that his weirdness was part of his artistry. But when he was alive and on top, they couldn't wait to bring him down.” PeopleHas BeensMadeMightWaitingAcceptingAliveWorstKingsProveDiseaseSkinsDiedAssumingPopsBelovedArtistryAccusationWeirdness Author:Jay-Z
“It was the ghost of rationality itself ... This is the ghost of normal everyday assumptions which declares that the ultimate purpose of life, which is to keep alive, is impossible, but that this is the ultimate purpose of life anyway, so that great minds struggle to cure diseases so that people may live longer, but only madmen ask why. One lives longer in order that he may live longer. There is no other purpose. That is what the ghost says.” PeopleMindMayPurposeOrderAsksStruggleAliveImpossibleDiseaseNormalUltimateEverydayGhostCuresAssumptionPurpose Of LifeRationalityMadmenGreat Minds Author:Robert M. Pirsig
