Nous ne pouvons arracher une seule page de notre vie, mais nous pouvons jeter le livre au feu.

“We make our own fortunes and we call them fate.”
Foreword (January 1960)

Context: One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
