To decide, to be at the level of choice, is to take responsibility for your life and to be in control of your life. -- Abbie M. Dale
No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory1 were, as well as if a manor2 of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls3; It tolls for thee. -- John Donne, Meditation4 XVII
I live in that solitude5 which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity6. -- Albert Einstein

At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life; this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity: that one is alone. That isn't as bad as it may first appear; and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself; his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world. -- Rainer Maria Rilke
We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves. -- Tom Robbins
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward. -- Patricia Sampson
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. -- George Bernard Shaw
