Spontaneous Quotations
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Lao Tzu
Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
Arnold H. Glasow

e. e. cummings

Leonardo DiCaprio
