“Nobody can build the bridge for you to walk across the river of life, no one but you yourself alone. There are, to be sure, countless paths and bridges and demi-gods which would carry you across this river; but only at the cost of yourself; you would pawn yourself and lose. There is in the world only one way, on which nobody can go, except you: where does it lead? Do not ask, go along with it.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche Untimely Meditations

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”

― Hermann Hesse, Siddharta

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
