Buddha

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche

To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Saint Augustine

Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
