Friedrich Nietzsche " That which does not kill us makes us stronger "
To me it means don't be afraid to try something, be bold and brave, live life to the full because you're a long time dead......only he puts it across better than me. I'm sure there is a deeper meaning than my simple interpretation that others see but that's the way I see it.

"But all folks are damaged goods,
It ain't a talk of "if", just one of "when" and "how"
So, collect your scars and wear 'em well
Your blood's as good an ink as any
Go scratch your name into the clouds
And pull 'em all... down"

I have way too many quotes that I love, but the one that pops into my head at the moment is from Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins:

"We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love."

One quote that I find pops up in everyday life quite a lot is "the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry" - “To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns
