The trick of course was not to go just anywhere, but to go where they might accomplish something useful.

What you need to do is take control of things. Don't wait for events to catch up with you; go and meet them head-on!

There is nothing wrong with crying. Your feelings tell you who are. They tell what is important. Don't ever be ashamed of them.

“If you think that Man is free to build a new life while the rest of the world drifts by, then you do not know anything of history!”

If you are always frightened for yourself you can't act, and then life loses its purpose. You just have to tell yourself that, when you get right down to it, you don't matter all that much.
