Item one: the law of the will. We just talked about this: one should only do that which truly fills our hearts with enthusiasm. If we brush this aside, if we put off the moment to live that which we dream of, we lose the energy necessary for any important transformation in our lives. Someone once put this most succinctly: “I don’t know the secret of success - but the secret of failure is to always try to follow the will of others.

we are human beings, we are born full of guilt; we feel terrified when happiness becomes a real possibility.

I’m afraid of love, because it involves things that are beyond our understanding; it sheds such a brilliant light, but the shadow it casts frightens me.

It's true; life really is generous to those who pursue their destiny

The gods throw the dice and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.

Many people in this world are merely playing a role, unaware that there is an Invisible Hand guiding them.

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.
