Progress is a new season and the rule of progress is everything in its season.

That is what we are put in the world for, to get experience and to help others get it. It is the one thing no one can take away from us.

Life, as I see it, is not a location, but a journey. Life flows.

People will try to fix world but world will fix people.

I am against nature. I don’t dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Man is what he believes.

Flawed and (still) worthy.

I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings. And I’ve never been too impressed.

You must demand nothing less than the best of yourself and for yourself. You must tell yourself that it is not wrong to want it all.
