“Not only are there meaningless questions, but many of the problems with which the human intellect has tortured itself turn out to be only ‘pseudo problems,’ because they can be formulated only in terms of questions which are meaningless. Many of the traditional problems of philosophy, of religion, or of ethics, are of this character. Consider, for example, the problem of the freedom of the will. You maintain that you are free to take either the right- or the left-hand fork in the road. I defy you to set up a single objective criterion by which you can prove after you have made the turn that you might have made the other. The problem has no meaning in the sphere of objective activity; it only relates to my personal subjective feelings while making the decision.”

“I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up!”

“We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.”

“Do nothing, and nothing happens. Life is about decisions. You either make them or they’re made for you, but you can’t avoid them.”

“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.”

“It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she said, is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.”

“The hardest thing about the road not taken is that you never know where it might have led.”

“You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.”

“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.”
