Quote

You have come to a stage where you almost have to work on yourself. You know, on finding some tranquility with which to respond to these things, because I realize that the biggest risk that many of us run is beginning to get inured to the horrors.

My instincts tell me that you will spiral into a very unhealthy place if you start pondering about how other people think about you and, quite frankly, I don't want to go there.

I hope that there are no persons that would want to think ill of me in any direction or any behavior.

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.

I have a huge and savage conscience that won't let me get away with things.

I have nothing but regret that I cannot continue to behave the way I behaved all my life, and I can't wait for a chance to behave immoderately again.

If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.

At some point, life starts to pass you by and becomes about avoidance. I want to stay clear from that situation, because I don't like that.

You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
