quotations by Goerge Bernard Shaw

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

“When I was young I observed that nine out of every ten things I did were failures, so I did ten times more work”

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”

“My reputation grows with every failure.”

“If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.”

“If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.”

“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul”

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

I love anything by Douglas Adams. He always makes you laugh but also makes you think a little. He is certainly one of the most influencial and downright best authors of our time.

 

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

- Douglas Adams

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

- Douglas Adams

The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.

 - Douglas Adams

And also some Douglas Coupland:

Here’s my theory about meetings and life; the three things you can’t fake are erections, competence and creativity. That’s why meetings become toxic they put uncreative people in a situation in which they have to be something they can never be. And the more effort they put into concealing their inabilities, the more toxic the meeting becomes. One of the most common creativity-faking tactics is when someone puts their hands in prayer position and conceals their mouth while they nod at you and say, 'Mmmmmm. Interesting.' If pressed, they’ll add, 'I’ll have to get back to you on that.' Then they don’t say anything else.

- Douglas Coupland

As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy; you learn all the things that can go wrong; you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day.

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
