Let me bring this thread back to life! I know I haven't been around... my life has been hectic but I'm not going to let this thread die I love it too much!

"It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives."

"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." – Lao-Tze

"To see a world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour."

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
 
"The person I was becoming scared me, I was ashamed of my behavior, but I still kept going forward. It was like being in a car with the gas pedal slammed down to the floor and nothing to do but hold on and pretend to have some semblance of control. But control was something I'd lost a long time ago."

From the book tweak

Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
Trainspotting - Intro

People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shite, which is not to be ignored. But what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid.
Trainspotting - Middle

But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television...Getting by, looking ahead to the day you die.
Trainspotting - End

Human beings are the only species with a history. Whether they also have a future is not so obvious.
Noam Chomsky - Necessary Illusions
 
“What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” -Oscar Wilde
