Un meme sympa, pour une fois (via kottke) : aller sur cette page de citations aléatoires et la recharger jusqu’à en avoir extrait cinq passages qui vous parlent ou vous ressemblent :

« I am going to concentrate on what’s important in life. I’m going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I’m going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I’ll see death and I’ll remember. »
— Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Do The Right Thing, 1992

« Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them. »
— John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)

« One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important. »
— Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970), Conquest of Happiness (1930) ch. 5

« He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses. »
— Horace (65 BC – 8 BC)

« I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself. »
— Marlene Dietrich (1901 – 1992)

Et en bonus :

« As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible. »
— Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Zarya, 1994
