Graves are for the living, not the dead. It gives us something to concentrate on instead of the fact that our loved one is rotting under the ground. The dead don't care about pretty flowers and carved marble statues.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back?

Home Alone (movie)

Vagabonding is about using the prosperity and possibility of the information age to increase your personal options instead of your personal possessions.

Rolf Potts

Vagabonding is about taking control of your circumstances instead of passively waiting for them to decide your fate.

Rolf Potts

I know I don`t deserve a Christmas, even if I did do a good deed. I don`t want any presents. Instead, I want to take back every mean thing I ever said to my family. Even if they don`t take back the things they said to me. I don`t care. I love all of them.

Home Alone 2 (movie)

That`s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people would want to be around someone because they`re pretty. It`s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.

John Green

Sometimes our body`s signals get messed up and our failsafe goes haywire. Instead of making clots, our body destroys them. And the thing that`s supposed to help us only hurts us. It means we start to bleed and everything shuts down.

Grey`s Anatomy (movie)

We will get true and lasting change as soon as we make helping people a way of life instead of a business.

Steve Maraboli

You can never pinpoint the exact moment that a species came to be, because it never did. Just like how you used to be a baby and now you're older, but there was no single day when you went to bed young and woke up old. (...) There was no first human. It sounds like a paradox, it sounds like it breaks the whole theory of evolution, but it's really a key to truly understanding how evolution works. Evolution happens like a movie, with frames moving by both quickly and gradually, and we often can't see the change while it's occurring. Every time we find a fossil, it's a snapshot back in time, often with thousands of frames missing in between, and we're forced to reconstruct the whole film. Life is what happens in between the snapshots. Instead of a nice smooth road this is a journey on stepping stones and we give each one their own name.

Joe Hanson

In the development of mathematical ideas, one important initial driving force has always been to find mathematical structures that accurately mirror the behaviour of the physical world. But it is normally not possible to examine the physical world itself in such precise detail that appropriately clear-cut mathematical notions can be abstracted directly from it. Instead, progress is made because mathematical notions tend to have a "momentum" of their own that appears to spring almost entirely from within the subject itself. Mathematical ideas develop, and various kinds of problem seem to arise naturally.

Roger Penrose

If you show somebody a piece of your work and you ask them ‘What do you think? ’, they will probably say it’s okay because they don’t want to offend you. Next time, instead of asking if it’s right, ask them what’s wrong. They may not say what you want to hear, but the chances are they will give you a truthful criticism. Truth hurts, but in the long run it’s better than a pat on the back.

Paul Arden

Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you’ve got, and fix it as you go.

Paul Arden

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.

Eleanor Roosevelt

This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

Alan Wilson Watts

Suppose the world were only one of God`s jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?

George Bernard Shaw
