MapOfYourHead wrote Reflecting Upon Society & Warfare

These quotes are written observations about humanity and their relation to society. They’re about such things as greed and conflict, about rules and mundanity. More specifically; everything that’s wrong with the world. An anarchist list of quotes if you will.
  1. 1 Timothy 6:10
    “The love of money is the root of all evil”
  2. Aesop
    “Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.”
  3. Aesop

  4. Aesop
    “United we stand, devided we fall.”
  5. Charlie Chapplin
    “More than machinery we need humanity.”
  6. Chase Amante (X)
    “If you read through people’s social media pages, if you look at their blogs and journals, if you page through their résumés – you’ll see what I see, too – most people don’t just think they’re above average. Most people think they’re awesome.”
  7. French Protesters, May 1968
    “In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society.”
  8. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.”
  9. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy.”
  10. Gerald Brenan
    “Those who have some means think that the most important thing in the world is love. The poor know that it is money.”
  11. Jean-Paul Sartre”

  12. Jean-Paul Sartre”
    “When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die.”
  13. John Lennon
    “Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.”
  14. John Lennon
    “Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s so insane about it.”
  15. John Locke
    “Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.”
  16. John Locke
    “New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.”

MapOfYourHead wrote A Passion For Life

The following quotes are meant to brisk up a passion for life. Instead of being delusionally optimistic, these quotes are realistically harsh, yet supportive. They may give you that “push” in the right direction: A happier life.
  1. Anonymous
    “People who say they are content being where the are are just fucking lying to themselves. Yeah, be content, but never be SATISFIED. You must always be ready to accept things as the worst, but always striving and hoping for things are their best. People who say they are content with life are people who have squelched their childhood dreams.”
  2. Anonymous (Not a legitimate Buddha Quote!)
    “A man once told Buddha, ‘I want happiness.’ The Buddha replied, ‘First Remove “I”, that is ego. Then remove “Want”, that is desire. Then all you are left with is happiness.’”
  3. Aesop
    “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
  4. Albert Einstein
    “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.”
  5. Albert Einstein
    “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
  6. Alexander Woollcott
    “There is no such thing in anyone’s life as an unimportant day.”
  7. Brené Brown
    “When you put shame in a petri dish, it needs 3 things to grow exponentially: Secrecy, silense and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in a petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive.”
  8. Emma Goldman
    “I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.”
  9. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”
  10. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “There is an innocense in admiration; it is found in those whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.”
  11. J. D. Salinger
    “I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.”
  12. John Lennon
    “We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.”
  13. John Lennon
    “When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
  14. John Locke
    “A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
  15. Lao Tzu
    “At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.”
  16. Lao Tzu
    “Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”
  17. LOST (TV Series)
    Locke: “I’m not lost anymore.”
    Sun: “How did you do that?”
    Locke: “Same way anything lost gets found: I stopped looking.”
  18. Mae West
    “You’re never too old to grow younger.”
  19. Ralph Marston
    “What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.”
  20. Ruth Burke
    “Only boring people get bored.”
  21. Søren Aabye Kierkegaard
    “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
  22. Steve Maruicci
    “I never wear a watch because I always know what time it is. It is always Now. And now is when you should do it.”
  23. Steven Pressfield
    “So let’s say you start out your day, and you do nothing. You’re just lazy that day. But you don’t feel good about it. Your choice makes you feel Hollow.”
  24. Timothy Ferriss
    “Recapturing the excitement of childhood isn’t impossible. In fact, it’s required.”

MapOfYourHead wrote Dealing With The Unjust Things In Life

“Why me”? I don’t think it helps to feel victimized. These quotes may give a little insight on “why”, and may help to approach situations differently.
  1. Anonymous
    “Sometimes the person you want the most is the person you’re best without.”
  2. Ali bin Abu-Talib
    “There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.”
  3. Arthur Rubinstein
    “I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.”
  4. The Dalai Lama
    “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”
  5. Dr Dorothy Rowe (X)
    “It’s like forgiveness, you can act in a forgiving way but you cannot will yourself to forgive. Feeling forgiveness is beyond your control, it’s an emotion. You can kid yourself but one day it will come out. We all know how we ought to behave, we all know we ought to love all of our relatives, but we don’t and cannot make ourselves.”
  6. The Eagles
    “So often time it happens, we all live our life in chains, and we never even know we have the key.”
  7. Eckhart Tolle
    “Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.”
  8. Eve Sawyer
    “Passion. One of the number one things that we look for in our partners. It’s a universal desire for someone to be passionate about you. It’s a plus when they are passionate about their own life, and about things that are important to them. It brings fervor and fire into any relationship and makes every day exciting. It’s odd that this is something we look for in people, as if there are people who aren’t passionate at all. Shouldn’t everyone have something that excites, defines and drives them?”
  9. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
  10. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “Success has always been a great liar.”
  11. Friedrich Nietzsche
    “The desire to annoy no one, to harm no one, can equally well be the sign of a just as of an anxious disposition.”
  12. George Carlin
    “Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.”
  13. Germaine de Staël
    “Men do not change, they unmask themselves.”
  14. Gloria Steinem
    “There are many more people trying to meet the right person than to become the right person.”
  15. Jacob M. Braude
    “Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.”
  16. Jean-Paul Sartre
    “If you are lonely when you’re alone, you are in bad company.”
  17. John Locke
    “Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.”
  18. John Locke
    “What worries you, masters you.”
  19. Laurence J. Peter
    “If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.”
  20. A Widow’s Toast (Song by Neko Case)
    “Better times collide with now.”
  21. Paul Tournier
    “Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.”
  22. Steve Pavlina
    “If someone has issues with your lifestyle choices, you can help such a person grow by boldly continuing to exist.”
  23. Thomas Edison
    “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
  24. Walter Cronkite
    “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.”
