How little can we foresee the consequences either of wise or unwise action, of virtue or of malice. Without this measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

It didn't matter if I got bitten by a dog or I ripped my pants on the fence post or I poked myself in the eye with a tree branch that I was crawling over, it was all about the shortcut. My whole life I took the shortcut, and I ended up lost.

Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

You might win some, but you just lost one.

Consequence is no coincidence.

It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.
