“sometimes our future is
dictated by what we are, as opposed to what we want.”

“What's the Future? It's a blank sheet of paper, and we draw lines on it, but sometimes our hand is held, and the lines we draw aren't the lines we wanted.”

“We are all affected by our pasts, but it is within our power not to let what we have done to dictate what we will do.”

“We are all affected by our pasts, but it is within our power not to let what we have done to dictate what we will do.”

“Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.”

“Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it’s going to kill us.”

“Reality is what we want it to be or what we do not want it to be, but it is not our wanting or our not wanting that makes it so.”

“We can’t choose what we want and don’t want and that’s the hard lonely truth. Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it’s going to kill us. We can’t escape who we are.”

“Reason, it is true, is DICTATOR in the Society of Mankind; from her there ought to lie no Appeal; But here we want a Pope in our Philosophy, to be the infallible Judge of what is or is not Reason.”

“The future is a world limited by ourselves; in it we discover only what concerns us and, sometimes, by chance, what interests those whom we love the most.”
