"Tot ce e mediocru în viaţa mea se datorează prejudecăţii că e bine să fii “înţelept” în orice împrejurare. În fond, ce ne recomandă înţelepciunea? Să fim atenţi, evitând riscurile, imprudenţele si excesele. Să facem totul “cu măsură”. Şi tocmai această “măsură” o găsesc la originea tuturor regretelor mele, a pasiunilor ratate, a “nebuniilor” netrăite. N-am avut inteligenţa sau norocul de a pricepe la timp că adevărata “măsură” a vieţii unui om nu se poate obţine decât prin “lipsa de măsura”, dorind “fără măsură”, îndrăznind “fără măsură”, iubind “fără măsură”." – Octavian Paler

"If you are killing time, it's not murder. It's suicide."

Carl Sandburg

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."

Si in cuvinte...

Steve Jobs

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
