"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." Paulo Coelho "We all make choices, but in the end, our choices make us." Andrew Ryan (Bioshock)
"If you cannot – or don’t believe you can – do what truly matters, you turn to things which matter less or perhaps not at all, but which you can do or believe you can; and by turning your attention and energy to such things, you may even make them matter, for a time at least." -Zygmunt Bauman (2011) from Identity in the globalising world.

"Life isn't about the end of the journey but what you were doing during it. Did you leave regret? Did you race to the finish line? Did you enjoy yourself? Did you spend time with those along the ride with you? Because in the end of it all, you can't any of it with you. So I hope you enjoyed it and didn't waste it just trying to reach the end." This isn't verbatim or from someone famous, but it was from a friend who saw that I was on a destructive path. I was destroying all around me, and I wasn't happy. She made me get over myself and learn to appreciate life that I happening all around me.
