It occurs to me that if I don’t sort myself out soon I will die of meaninglessness. That is the price of avoiding the things I find troubling.

How do you survive the survivor?

I am reminded of yet one more reason why I avoid children, why I have remained intentionally childless. Children make ruthless biographers and terrifying judges.

I've never thought much of strictly organised and methodical study. You can't arrange a library in alphabetical order until you've collected one.

I devote my life in service of humanity.

The right music and lyrics can infiltrate your soul.

We all live with the objective of being happy our lives are all different and yet the same.

Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.

The victim to too severe a law is considered as a martyr rather than a criminal.

Everyone is doing their job within a system. Even the revolutionaries are in a system.

Every race and every nation should be judged by the best it has been able to produce, not by the worst.

A country that can put men on the moon can put women in the constitution.

Money doesn't bring courage, I learned. It's the other way around. Once I took that lesson to heart, I began to rebuild my life.
