If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.

Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.

Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free . . . your true self comes out.

If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.
