“To define what we are is to reduce and distort what we are: to say that we are nothing but our desires or nothing but our self-interest is to misrepresent us.”

“When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from total self-destruction. We become the fruits of our actions.”

“Its our actions that define us. What we choose. What we resist. What we're willing to die for.”

“Our life would be what we made of it--nothing more, nothing less.”

“It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”

“We desire nothing so much as what we ought not to have.”
Quod vult habet, qui cupere quod sat est potest.

“Randomness, chaos, uncertainty, and chance are all a part of our lives. They reside at the ill-defined boundaries between what we know, what we can know, and what is beyond our knowing. They make life interesting.”

“This is our big chance to see what people think of us. The real us. We have to show em there's nothing to be afraid of. If we don't get over our fears, they never will.”

“In theory there is nothing to hinder our following what we are taught; but in life there are many things to draw us aside.”

“The saints that be in Heaven, they will to know nothing but that which our Lord willeth to shew them: and also their charity and their desire is ruled after the will of our Lord: and thus ought we to will, like to them. Then shall we nothing will nor desire but the will of our Lord, as they do: for we are all one in God’s seeing.”
