Quote by George H. W. Bush

We are not the sum of our possessions.

We are not the sum of our possessions.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that our worth as individuals is not determined by the material possessions we own. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on intrinsic qualities, values, and relationships rather than purely external measures of success. Our true worth lies in our character, talents, experiences, and the connections we forge with others, rather than the accumulation of wealth or possessions. The quote serves as a reminder to prioritize what truly matters in life and to prioritize personal growth and meaningful connections over the pursuit of material gain.

A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself -- or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.

In the lives of individuals, just as in society at large, the profoundest changes take place within a very reduced time frame. When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready... The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

On the one hand, the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand, I long for it, you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.
