It Isn't That There's No Right And

Most People Are Not Really Free. They Are Confined By The Niche In The World That They Carve Out For Themselves. They Limit Themselves To Fewer Possibilities By The Narrowness Of Their Vision.

The Only Lies For Which We Are Truly Punished Are Those We Tell Ourselves.

I Often Wonder What Would Have Happened To Me If I Hadn't Made That Decision. I Suppose I Would Have Sunk. I Suppose I Would Have Found Some Kind Of Hole And Tried To Hide Or Pass. After All, We Make Ourselves According To The Ideas We Have Of Our Possibilities. I Would Have Hidden In My Hole And Been Crippled By My Sentimentality, Doing What I Was Doing, And Doing It Well, But Always Looking For The Wailing Wall. And I Would Never Have Seen The World As The Rich Place That It Is. You Wouldn't Have Seen Me Here In Africa, Doing What I Do.

What Was Past Was Past. I Suppose That Was The General Attitude.

The World Is What It Is; Men Who Are Nothing, Who Allow Themselves To Become Nothing, Have No Place In It.
