“Destiny, I feel is also a relationship-a play between grace and willful self-effort. Half of it you have no control over, half of it is absolutely in your hands and your actions will show measurable consequences. Man is neither entirely a puppet of the gods, nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny; he’s a little of both. We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses-one foot is on the horse called “fate” the other on the horse called “free will”. And the question you have to ask everyday is, Which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it’s not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?”

“I look at the Augusteum,and I think that perhaps my life has not actually been so chaotic, after all. It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated. The Augusteum warns me to not to get attached to any obsolete ideas about who I am, what I represent, whom I belong to, or what function I may once have intended to serve. Yesterday I might have been a glorious monument to somebody, true enough--but tomorrow I could be a fireworks depository. Even in the Eternal City, says the silent Augusteum, one must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation.”

“What are your choices when someone puts a gun to your head?
What are you talking about? You do what they say or they shoot you.
WRONG. You take the gun, or you pull out a bigger one. Or, you call their bluff. Or, you do any one of a hundred and forty six other things.”

“Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта.
Срещне те стар познат и се провикне: - Какво става с тебе? Не мога да те позная!
Ние сме онова, което кара другите да кажат: - Не си ти!
Ние сме онова, което кара самите нас да се изплашим: - Какво става с мене? Не мога да се позная!
Всичко онова, което ни сковава в собствени граници, не сме ние.
Ние сме, когато станем своята противоположност.
Когато се изскубнем от верижката и изненадаме себе си.
Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Лавина
