“Nothing is given to men, and the little they can conquer is paid for with unjust deaths. But man’s greatness lies elsewhere. It lies in his decision to be stronger than his condition. And if his condition is unjust, he has only one way of overcoming it, which is to be just himself.”
Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death (The Night of Truth)

“And so lovely one there are nights when you should just feel proud of yourself, like just for the sake of it. Like just because you got through the week, and you did so with grace and commitment. Be proud of yourself tonight. Living and trying and giving our all in this hardened world is a heroic thing indeed.”— S.C. Lourie
“I learned a long time ago, the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side.”— Maya Angelou
