Motivational Quotes

Vision

I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful -- of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man I am dynamite.

- Nietzsche, Friedrich

Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.

They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
