A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when humanity is always landing there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail.  
Progress is realization of Utopias  
Oscar Wilde
 
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.  
Howl by Allen Ginsberg
  
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
The Onceler
  
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.  
Ralph Waldo Emerson
  
Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.  
Jerzy Gregorek
 
 What if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much as possible of the other that whoever wanted to learn to "jubilate up to the heavens" would also have to be prepared for "depression unto death"?  
Friedrich Nietzsche
  
A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.  
Hunter S. Thompson
