“Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit.”
Norman Mailer
“Being born is certain, Death will come, But whats in between is the adventure, It starts when you take the risk.”

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.”
Peter Gabriel
“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins
“the evolution of living beings ... presents an internal finality which arouses admiration [and which] obliges one to suppose a Mind which is its inventor, its creator.”
Pope John Paul II
