You never choose the way that you're raised, it's just the way that you were raised, but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.

Mia Wasikowska

I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.

Friedrich Nietzsche

But look - he flicks his hand to the back of his neck. For such gesture one falls hopelessly in love for a lifetime.

Virginia Woolf

Things are in the saddle, And ride mankind

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are but phantoms, and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind; the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights - so be it!

I loved her, that woman of a dream. And she and I are dead together!

H.G. Wells
