I
DON'T CARE!

is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.”

“I
DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing
it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I
WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
"You
do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to
stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached.
"You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain
of it.”

“There
will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time
when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed
or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember
Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and
wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have
been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of
years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive
forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there
will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I
encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”

“If
you're reading this...
Congratulations,
you're alive.
If
that's not something to smile about,
then
I don't know what is.”

“When
I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I
wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told
them they didn’t understand life.”

“Do
not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps
of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your
soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been
able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is
possible.. it's yours.”

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“The
best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any
good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.”

“People
aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and
bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and
conflict.”
