I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.

Frederick Lenz

You don't have to be inspired by comedians. You have to be inspired by things that are real, whether it's music, comedy...a movie - that should inspire you.

Pauly Shore

Real giving is when we give to our spouses what's important to them, whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not.

Michele Weiner-Davis

Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

Alan Ball

[As] authorities "over" us are removed, as we wobble out on our own, the question of whether to be or not to be arises with real relevance for the first time, since the burden of being is felt most fully by the self-determining self.

William H. Gass

It is said that “there is a self,” but “non-self” too is taught. The buddhas also teach there is nothing which is “neither self nor non-self.” Everything is real, not real; both real and not real; neither not real nor real: this is the teaching of the Buddha.

Nagarjun

Michael Morpurgo

Parents are, of course, most important in shaping their children's lives, but teachers are critically important as well. Who among us doesn't look back on a few great teachers who inspired us, opened up new worlds, and helped make us who we are?

Whitney Tilson

John Templeton

Only when human beings are able to perceive and acknowledge the Self in each other can there be real peace.

Mata Amritanandamayi

The myth of the self-sufficient individual and of the self-sufficient, protected, and protective familytells us that those who need help are ultimately inadequate. And it tells us that for a family to need help--or at least to admit it publicly--is to confess failure. Similarly, to give help, however generously, is to acknowledge the inadequacy of the recipients and indirectly to condemn them, to stigmatize them, and even to weaken what impulse they have toward self-sufficiency.

Kenneth Keniston

It's important to be informed but I also think it's important to be inspired. I'm creating a space where people can be inspired.

Daryn Kagan

A lot of my songs are inspired by a muse of some sort, whether she's real or not.

Borns

I'm realizing that the people who criticize what I'm doing, their intentions and comments are not actually real.There's nothing happening in the real world outside of whatever they're writing on the internet. Whereas for the people who feel inspired by what I'm doing, there's something so concrete and powerful in what's happening when they feel empowered. There's actually some kind of growth or self-acceptance, some kind of self-love that's actually being triggered, hopefully. And that's real.

Amandla Stenberg

Social media provides us the opportunity to think before we 'speak', giving us a better shot at reasoned dialog. So it's not a huge surprise to me that not only can real communication happen, but real relationships can blossom.

Paul Biedermann
