These are my favorite quotes that came across the road on their own we I needed them:

Never Stop thinking Farid.  (Henk Slager told me this in his last tutorials)

Don't think too much.  (M. Toering)

What we are communicates far more than anything we say.  (Stephen Covey)

If you didn't achieve what you want you can always stretch back or move on, but just do it.  You won't fall and break your arms and legs.  In art you can pass the borders without being hurt.  (Klaas Hoek)

Consistent way of thinking is the hobgoblin of the superficial minds.  (unknown)

Be Christopher Columbus of your own America.  (David Henry Thoreau)

We are all painting our own self-portraits.  (after reading Oscar Wilde's the picture of Dorian Grey)

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!  (Randy Pausch)

To achieve great things two things are needed:  a plan, and not quite enough time.  (Leonard Bernstein)

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.  (Muhammad Ali Clay)

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.

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.  (Steve Jobs)

What ever you can do, or dream you can, begin it now.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.  (Johann Wolfgang Goethe  (p.s. thanks to my friend Matthew who let me know about this quotation))

The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.  (Deepak Chopra)

"
...I don't know if
we each have a destiny,
or if we're all just floating around
accidental-like on a breeze.
But I think maybe it's both.
Maybe both is happening
at the same time.

(script from one of the last scenes of the film Forrest Gump,
it begins from the minute 3:40 of this video)
