We create our fate everyday

Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have, but I see now that it was meant to destroy me. To-day I am proud to say that I am inhuman, that I belong not to men and governments, that I have nothing to do with creeds and principles. I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity - I belong to the earth!

Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.

Think only what is right there, what is right under your nose to do. It's such a simple thing - that's why people can't do it.

Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

The man who is intoxicated with life does not pass judgment, does not seek to come to a conclusion, does not impose his message on the world.
