It matters not how strait the gate,      How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate,      I am the captain of my soul.

In the darkest times; hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.

Nietzsche said somewhere that when you first meet someone, you know all about him; on subsequent meetings, you blind yourself to your own wisdom.

We are, in the deepest sense, responsible for ourselves. We are, as Sartre put it, the authors of ourselves. Through the accretion of our choices, our actions, and our failures to act, we ultimately design ourselves. We cannot avoid this responsibility, this freedom. In Sartre’s terms, “we are condemned to freedom”.

Every person must choose how much truth he can stand.
