I want to be defined by my own essence.
At a certain point, what people mean when they use a word becomes its meaning.
Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
Words have meaning. And their meaning doesn't change.
The essence of man is, discontent, divine discontent; a sort of love without a beloved, the ache we feel in a member we no longer have.
All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.
