Roberto Bolaño
“Not only to myself or before the mirror or at the hour of my death, which I hope will be long in coming, but in the presence of my children and my wife and in the face of the peaceful life I’m building, I must acknowledge: (1) That under Stalin I wouldn’t have wasted my youth in the gulag or ended up with a bullet in the back of my head. (2) That in the McCarthy era I wouldn’t have lost my job or had to pump gas at a gas station. (3) That under Hitler, however, I would have been one of those who chose the path of exile, and that under Franco I wouldn’t have composed sonnets to the caudillo or the Holy Virgin like so many lifelong democrats. One thing is as true as the other. My bravery has its limits, certainly, but so does what I’m willing to swallow. Everything that begins as comedy ends as tragicomedy.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

Arthur Conan Doyle
“If I remember rightly, you on one occasion defined my limits in a very precise fashion."

"Yes," [Watson] answered, laughing. "It was a singular document. Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mudstains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco. Those, I think, were the main points of my analysis.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Yukito Kishiro
“The purpose of battle is to attain the greatest heights within your own limits.”
Yukito Kishiro

Vera Nazarian
“Believe it or not, the notions of free will and destiny are not mutually exclusive.

Predestination is the universal framework of limits (based on natural physical laws) placed upon us.

Free will is our infinite ability to make choices within that framework.

Because the universal scale is so great—and most of it constitutes an undiscovered frontier—our choices are only limited by our knowledge, our abilities, and our imagination.

To put it simply, the world is such a huge playground sandbox that we will never run out of sand or reach the faraway safety fence of destiny.

So go out there and play!”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“That was one other time when my whole body reacted to the fear and went out of my own control. My nerves came apart completely, and I started vomiting and vomiting. I couldn't stop. It had been such a narrow escape. I kept telling myself that I could take all of the pressure; but there were those times that my body seemed almost to shut itself down, to scream that what was happening was just too much.”
Diet Eman, Things We Couldn't Say

Israelmore Ayivor
“The choice to lead is nurtured by the willingness to rise above challenges of life.”
Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Ladder

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“It comes down to 'fear' and 'faith'. 'Fear' of what stands in front of me. 'Faith' in believing that the resources I possess can handle what stands in front of me. If I stop at the former, I will change nothing. If I embrace the latter, I can change everything.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Terry Pratchett
“There's a limit to the power of a spring, no matter how tightly one winds it.'
'Oh, yes. Yes. And you hope that if you wind a spring one way, all its energies will unwind the other way. And sometimes you have to wind the spring as tight as it will go,' said Vetinari, 'and pray it doesn't break.'
His expression changed.

'Oh dear,' he said. 'He didn't thump the wall. I may have gone too far.”
Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms

“Everyone's time is limited. What matters most is to focus on what matters most.”
Roy Bennett

Dejan Stojanovic
“Something that is formed or exists must have limits. Paradoxically, these limits are the source of infinity as a potential, not an actuality. The actuality of infinity is never-ending existence and life, and not a literal infinity per se. Infinity represents the infinity of possible variations of that which is inherently finite. Finitude is, therefore, not incompatible with infinitude.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Mehmet Murat ildan

Dejan Stojanovic
“Absolute time is eternity. (Eternity = Present)
AT = Et (AT = absolute time; Et = Eternity)
Absolute space is infinity.
AS = �
AT = �
AT + AS = �
� = 0
The Being, the Universe, is finite.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Dejan Stojanovic
“Nonbeing plays almost an equally important role as Being. By lacking form, the Nonbeing offers life to the form. By lacking limits, the Nonebeing provides the opportunity and space to the Being (with limits).”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“You begin to realize if you are keeping something in your life, there has to be a reason you want it there. The only question is why?”
Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery
