Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad. Fyodor Dostoevsky

Varg Vikernes

Bednar
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don’t think that way. I still don’t have a ‘bliss’ to follow. For people like me – I suspect that’s most people – holding out for a ‘dream’ or a ‘passion’ is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That’s hard enough… but it’s enough. Jane Pauley
When we realize that something as primal as the food that we choose to eat each day makes such an important difference in addressing both global warming and personal health, it empowers us and imbues these choices with meaning.

Our Congress should stay in session all summer – camp out in D.C., and turn off the AC.

Kevin Bleyer

‘Teen Vogue’ is so much more than just a magazine. It’s so much more than just a website. It’s so much more than social. It’s really about the audience, and so we’re going to continue to innovate and continue to find new ways of reaching this audience in meaningful ways. Elaine Welteroth
I’m a lyric man – I’m always looking for meaningful songs. Tom Jones

I became aware that all sounds can make meaningful language. Karlheinz Stockhausen

As a young boy growing up in Rohtak, India, I had no idea what my life’s work would be.

I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is.

There’s a lot of music out there that’s like, ‘I’m so mad! I’m sad! I’m into skulls and crossbones and the color black,’ and that’s just meaningless and shallow. So much of metal is about that and it’s hard to find metal that is substantial and meaningful in terms of its content. Phil Elverum
Once you understand that Goliath is much weaker than you think he is, and David has superior technology, then you say: why do we tell the story the way we do?

As we all know, mental health matters, while we still have a long way to go, we’re starting to see the wheels turning for real and meaningful change.
