“Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.”
Thomas A. Edison

“There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”
Oscar Wilde

“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
Oscar Wilde

“Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah”

Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen

    I was wondering why you chose five things. Does the number 5 has a significance in your life. Pardon me, but I am just curious.

      No particular significance- just needed to generate some ideas for writing and this post did it.
