Nobody on their deathbed ever said "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

(I don't know who said it first but a whole lot of people have agreed with the sentiment)

If I'm aware that I'm on my deathbed I'll say it (amongst other things), just so nobody can say that nobody has ever said that.

Anyway...

Do our own quotes count? I suppose not that many quotes have stuck in my head, but there are a lot I've come up with and tried to live by. Perhaps others might get something out of them. I've always been a bit critical of my own thoughts or writing, mental illness is a bitch.

Here's a couple:

"Power of mind is the best kind" -- from 2016 when I was in a pretty dark place but was trying to believe in myself, my imagination, and ability to help others. Though it's ironic because I was a victim to my own mind then. It would only be months later that I folded and admitted, I'm mentally ill. I tried so hard to convince myself that I could get through it alone, no medication and such. I tried to be my own therapist.

"Karma spreads like a cold, before you know it, you're old, lamenting over stories untold. Having tried so hard to fit the mold." -- It's more of a poem. I was working through severe trust issues and often feeling resentment over my inability to express myself.

I never enjoyed simple, filler conversation, I just don't operate that way. So trying to be like everyone else, talking about small things like the weather, sports, what I may have been up to, it's always like hitting a brick wall with me. I want to talk about my life, tell stories of unusual experiences. I did this a lot when I was on the radio in college. This was a crucial point for me, as it was just one year after I wrote that and suddenly I was doing things that were absolutely unthinkable a year prior.

That poem/quote is still relevant, but I've had some important conversations with people about what's been going on with me mentally. It's been a bad scene and that's always difficult to talk about. I hardly ever say "I'm good" or "I'm fine" if someone asks, I just can't make that shit up anymore.

Sorry if this derailed things. Maybe these quotes could have some meaning to others. I just can't really think of any that had a significant impact on me. Perhaps it's because I don't put anyone on a pedestal, at least not anymore. Nothing immediately came to mind, but perhaps at a different point in my life it would have. I remember I used to read a lot of Alan Watts quotes, but nothing that stuck to me or has an impact on me at present. During difficult times his quotes would sometimes strike me. I wrote about him in a journal I'd been writing daily for awhile but I didn't directly quote anything.

I guess otherwise, there's that one quote from Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." I don't exactly know how to interpret this, it's rather oblique, but if any quote has stuck out it would be this one.
 
"Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures." -Han Suyin

"In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." -Aeschylus

"Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other as large teeming flaw colonies, the result being that they get on each other's nerves and regularly erupt into vicious emotional shouting matches over issues such as toaster settings." Dave Barry

While this is funny, easy surgeries start at a failure rate of 5-12% and go up to 50%+ failure rate during complicated surgeries especially involving the spine. So "it cures" is false. "It will probably cure"

Truth may hurt but surgery may kill you.
Also didn't Suyin mostly work from 1930 to 1970 in China? I imagine failure rates were much higher, so maybe further Adjustment is needed. "Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but at least doesn't kill you from an infection 60% of the time"
