I seemed to have nothing left to live for.
Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.

The end had ceased to charm, and how could there ever again be any interest in the means?

One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.
The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way
