    You will not know the purpose of life until you imagine a better one for someone else; You will not know the purpose of money until you work for someone else; You will not know the value of freedom until someone takes it away from you; You will not see until blindness keeps you hurt; You will not understand until ignorance causes you frustration; You will not be religious until you realize how God's laws are independent of His conscience.

  • Quote

    In a world thronged with monsters and with gods, we know little peace of mind. There is hardly a single action we perform in that phase which we would not give anything, in later life, to be able to annul. Whereas what we ought to regret is that we no longer possess the spontaneity which made us perform them. In later life we look at things in a more practical way, in full conformity with the rest of society, but adolescence is the only period in which we learn anything.
