My favourite quotes...

"Live your own life, for you will die your own death." - Latin proverb

"You are an intelligent human being. Your life is valuable for its own sake. You are not second-class in the universe, deriving meaning and purpose from some other mind. You are not inherently evil—you are inherently human, possessing the positive rational potential to help make this a world of morality, peace and joy. Trust yourself." - Dan Barker

“Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.” - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
