An excerpt from the book “The Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula Leguin
“The unknown, the unproven, the unforetold, that is what life is based on. Ignorance is the ground of thought. Unproof is the ground of action. If it were proven that there is no God there would be no religion. No Catholics, no Buddhists, no Muslims, no Jews, nothing. But also if it were proven that there is a God, there would be no religion…what is known? What is sure, predictable, inevitable-the only certain thing you know concerning your future, and mine?”
“That we shall die.”
”Yes. There’s really only one question that can be answered and we already know the answer….the only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” — Bob Marley
“Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” — Bruce Lee
“Work as hard as you can. If you aren’t working as hard as you can, someone else is out there working as hard as they can. Those people who are working harder than you deserve opportunities more than you do, so stop making excuses for why you aren’t working hard and just work hard. When you feel like you’re working as hard as you can possibly work, work a little harder and you are probably getting close to how hard you actually have to work. Take more classes. Meet more people. Challenge yourself. Don’t expect anyone to hand anything to you. If you aren’t exhausted all the time, you probably aren’t working hard enough.”

“When you’re with someone, make sure not only that YOU are sincere, but THEY are sincere and truly care about you in return.” — Papang
I was listening to music in my headphones when I heard what I thought was knocking on my door. Loud enough to hear through my headphones. As I peered towards the door I saw it halfway open. BUT I CLOSED MY DOOR MAN. I got up to see if it was my brother or dad cause they’re usually the only ones who come to my room. NOBODY WAS EVEN AWAKE. Everybody in the house was knocked out in their rooms. I’m not spooked, I just wanna know who opened my door yo! O.O
