“Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“Man is what he wills himself to be.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit and Three Other Plays

“Compassion is the basis of morality.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”
― Albert Camus
