Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action.(There is no reality except in action.)

Life begins on the other side of despair.

Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.

There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.

We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best.
