"There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but happy."
From my research it should be attributed to Karl Marx, Composer. I wasn't able to find a thumbnail for him though.

there is a quotation from William Shakespeare's play "Julius Ceasar". It is the long quotation which begins with "There is a tide..."
Could someone please remove this quote. (I don't know if it is also on Shakespeare's quotes or not). Thank you.

“one who looks outside,dreams;who looks inside,awakens.�

- is not only pitifully punctuated but actually belongs to Carl Jung:
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart...
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
Ta!

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/... - Truman Capote
These are same quotes by two different authors. I've rechecked the quote. It was actually by Stephen King.
I tried to delete the quote by Truman Capote but, it says there are too many fans for it to be deleted.

I'm not sure who actually said this first but I found it attributed to Alfred E. Newman. I know that it also appeared as attributed to Lou Holtz who (as a football coach) is known for all the quotes he lifts and popularizes from great minds.
So I moved it to him with an attribution.
How should these be attributed?

He was quoting Antonietta Meo. And his characters thought the quote was utter crap, but I guess that's irrelevent. ;-)

should all be attributed to this author:

The book for all four quotes is A HIDDEN FIRE. (I tried to fix it but couldn't. Thank you so much for your help!!)
