“We determine who we are by what we do”

““We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal.””

“A person of good intelligence and sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality - and it’s not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing - it is just a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street.”

“you are the ‘c’ of a quadratic function. ax²+bx+c. yes, that last factor is you. now, suppose ‘c’ has any numerical value, positive or negative, other than zero (other than zero because you are alive right now) and 'ax²’ and 'bx' are the other people; your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends, your lover. these people disappear when 'x’ is at zero, right? the function would also equal zero but, as i said earlier, you are the 'c’ of this quadratic function. in your case, the numerical value of 'c’ is never zero. you always have a value. and sometimes, when 'x’ is at zero, ‘c’ will still have a value and you will be the only person who is going to be there, for your own self. so, take care of yourself. the art of self care is very difficult to master at times and still, you are the 'c’ of this quadratic function. you will always have a value.”
