The Doctor, Season 6, Episode 6 - "The Almost People"
I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.
Meredith Grey
Change … we don’t like it, we fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t, is lying. But here’s the truth: Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is … everything
Francis Underwood
If a man is not smart enough to be able to use whatever is in front of him and still make it work...well, then...that’s just a failure of the imagination.
Log Lady
Is life like a game of chess? Are our present moves important for future success? I think so. We paint our future with every present brush stroke. Painting. Colors. Shapes. Textures. Composition. Repetition of shapes. Contrast. Let nature guide us. Nature is the great teacher.
Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), The Walking Dead, Season 3: Killer Within
You are going to beat this world, I know you will. You are smart, and you are strong, and you are so brave, and I love you. You gotta do what's right. It's so easy to do the wrong thing in this world. So, so, if it feels wrong don't do it, alright? If it feels easy don't do it, don't let this world spoil you.
Steve Jobs
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Captain Kirk
Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome. You remove those obstacles. Without them to strengthen us, we will weaken and die.
Steve Jobs
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
Amelia Shepherd
And if you can't do it, if you aren't willing to keep looking for light in the darkest of places without stopping, even when it seems impossible, you will never succeed.
Ellen DeGeneres
When you take risks, you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.
— Sarah Kay
Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.
Elton Pope, Season 2, Episode 10
When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.
Dolores Abernathy
Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world. The disarray. I choose to see the beauty. To believe there is an order to our days, a purpose.
Steve Jobs
The moment you realize that everything in the world around you was built by people who were no smarter than you, you become an element of change yourself...you can change anything
