“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” – Henry David Thoreau

I think this quote is pretty popular one, I remember hearing it awhile back.

“It is not what you look at, but what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau

This is by far my favorite and the most profound HT quote I have ever stumbled upon.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” – Albert Einstein

Never really had a problem with this, but it is a good reminder. Always question three things, constructs, corporations and governments.

“We can’t solve problems with the same ways in which we created them” – Albert Einstein

A very simple elegant and powerful quote, I like it.

“Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.” – W. B. Yeats

This is an absolutely amazing quote, been on fire for some time now. Feeling the burn.

“Does it feel like we’ve never been alive? Does it seem like we’ve only just begun?” – 30 Seconds To Mars

Yes. Every day I wake up I feel this way.

“If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.” – Albert Einstein

People should do this more, artists try to describe it and some do succeed.

“Freedom has a scent, like the top of a new born baby’s head.” – U2

Love the lyrics from some of U2′s songs, this one is from the song Miracle Drug. I know this one to be true because I have felt what it is to be completely free and from being a father.

“Keep a poem in your pocket, a picture in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely, at night when your in bed.” – Todd Pitt

This is the first poem I ever wrote. I wrote it when I was in the second grade. My Mom gave the original paper poem back to me a few years back, so awesome that she saved it for me. This poem has become a mantra that I have gone back to as an adult.

“Beauty cannot be captured. It exists only for poetically tuned minds.” – Vladimir Kush

My favorite quote from my favorite artist and Russian romantic/natural surrealist painter Vladimir Kush.
