“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't.

― Ted Chiang, Exhalation

“I shed my guilt when I accepted my decision on its own terms, without endlessly prosecuting old grievances, without weighing his sins against mine. Without thinking of my father at all. I learned to accept my decision for my own sake, because of me, not because of him. Because I needed it, not because he deserved it.”
― Tara Westover , Educated
