As a subscriber to the Existentialism school of thoughts, here are some perceptive quotes by prominent philosophers of this school which I would like to share..
Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.
~Soren Kierkegaard
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
~Soren Kierkegaard
Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
