You are what you are. It is my opinion that trouble in the world comes from people who do not know what they are, and pretend to be something they're not.

I'm too old to recover, too narrow to forgive myself.

Guilt is often an excuse for not thinking.

Decisions, particularly important ones, have always made me sleepy, perhaps because I know that I will have to make them by instinct, and thinking things out is only what other people tell me I should do.

You can't recover from what you do not understand.

History is made by masses of people. One man, or ten men, don't start the earthquakes and don't stop them either. Only hero worshipers and ignorant historians think they do.

Nobody knows what you want except you. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. Wanting some other way to live is proof enough of deserving it. Having it is hard work, but not having it is sheer hell.
