“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What kind of man does not give up his time, his many pleasures, but hands them over without a sound. What kind of man bends to hold them in their suffering, in their questions, in their garbled turns of phrase. What kind of man admits his failures, turns over his heavy stones, stands at the feet of grief and wanting does not turn away. What kind of man becomes a father. A lasting place. A steady ship inside a tireless storm.”
― Kate Baer, What Kind of Woman: Poems

“Alas, the time of the most despicable man is coming, he that is no longer able to despise himself.

Behold, I show you the last man. 'What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?'—thus asks the last man, and he blinks.

The earth has become smaller, and on it hops the man who makes everything small...'We have invented happiness'—say the last men, and they blink.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
