“There is no reality except in action. Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

“Sleep thy last sleep, Free from care and sorrow. Rest where none weep. And we too, shall follow.”
― J.P. Donleavy, The Ginger Man

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“But to see her was to love her,
Love but her, and love forever.
Had we never lou'd sae kindly,
Had we never lou'd sae blindly,
Never met - or never parted -
We had ne'er been broken hearted”
― Robert Burns, Robert Burns: Selected Poems and Songs
