The End of the Tour and David Foster Wallace
David Foster Wallace: Well, I think being shy basically means being self-absorbed to the extent that it makes it difficult to be around other people.

What we do in life echoes in eternity - Maximus from Gladiator
This quote from the film Gladiator was borrowed from Marcus Aurelius (who is also portrayed in the film).
"What we do now echoes in eternity."
More quotes to inspire living life to the fullest:
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
~ Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.
~ Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: Generations

Date the person who makes your world

Michael Krasny, an inspirational agnostic
"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion."
- Abraham Lincoln.
From his longer NPR interview, Krasny says:
....have the courage to say to your children, 'I don't know' and let them find their own path, whatever that may be.
Nowadays many of the atheists are simply quite militant about their atheism and pretty certain about it as well.

And even in Stephen Hawking’s new book, he thinks he’s found answers now—he’s moved in a different direction, toward an atheism that was not clear in his previous work. It’s a jump, for maybe one of the greatest minds of our time. But I can’t continue or discontinue grappling with questions that are simply unanswerable. Okay, there was a Big Bang, but what was before it? There are mysteries on the earth that are impenetrable to us, let alone beyond our planet. So why not just accept? My dad used to say to me when I was a kid that sometimes you just have to say: I don’t know.
