“I was surprised, as always, by how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“As much as I feel sad, I think that not knowing is what really bothers me.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“It was the greatest sensation of existence: not to trust but to know.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. Look at them. The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think he’s honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand. The man who takes credit for an achievement which is not his own. He knows himself to be mediocre, but he’s great in the eyes of others.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
