“You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.” — Isabel Allende.
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just to enjoy your ice-cream while it’s on your plate.” — Thornton Wilder
“Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end.” — Homer, The Odyssey
“The rule of law, civil liberties and civil rights—these are not our burdens. They are what makes all of us safer and stronger.” — Bob Mueller, Former Director of the FBI
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
