“Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her; but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.”
― Voltaire

“What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction”
― Oprah Winfrey

“Don't waste your time, do something worthwhile with it."
But what can that mean: worthwhile? Finally to start realizing long-cherished wishes. To attack the error that there will always be time for it later....Take the long-dreamed-of trip, learn this language, read those books, buy yourself this jewelry, spend a night in that famous hotel. Don't miss out on yourself.
Bigger things are also part of that: to give up the loathed profession, break out of a hated milieu. Do what contributes to making you more genuine, moves you closer to yourself.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“To understand yourself: Is that a discovery or a creation?”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon
