“Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!”

Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl

“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.””

12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson

“The assurance that we have no means of answering [final] questions is no valid excuse for callousness towards them. The more deeply should we feel, down to the roots of our being, their pressure and their sting. Whose hunger has ever been [sated] with the knowledge that he could not eat?”

History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset

“Life is futile unless it be directed towards a definite goal.”

Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig

“Death, a cause of terror to the sinner, is a blessed moment for him who has walked in the right path.”

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce
