Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning.
