Men and women are what they make of themselves.

If you fatally kill fate,
your life sentence will be
to steer the reins of choice.

Relinquish your ideology of control, for it is merely a mirage anyway.

The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

Everything was to be experienced at the highest pitch of passion and life. To expect something greater after life was to forget that life was the greatest thing of all. He had forgotten that, and now he wanted to live with all his strength and with no further dread.
