Identity?

Just Some Small Thought (Which might be wrong of course)

  • He always comes back, and far more armed than before. With the intention of ending us once and for all. The cunning one. You won’t always see him coming; he’ll just be there, sitting with a cigarette, right next to you.
  • I know it’s the same feeling, no matter what I do, I refuse to accept it, but that’s what it is. Yes, that’s what it is—I’m falling in love with this girl as time goes by.
  • If you ask a painter to draw the soul of the 21st-century man, he will give you a blank canvas. Man has become too vast; we no longer have any real concept of who he truly is. I am not a painter, but the thought of trying to understand man came to me. To this day, it remains the worst mistake of my life.
  • It is only after action that we create conjectures about causes. They are likely false. The truth is that effects usually occur in different contexts.
  • Some people are so incompatible that their incompatibility unites them.
  • Society is schizophrenic: those who kiss your feet today may be the ones to throw the first stone at you tomorrow.
  • Beware of sore losers: they will blame God or the rest of the world for their failures.
  • No, believe me, what the other philosophers said is true: Paris is a city that forever marks hearts. It does so like no other place can. Yes, it is magical, and that magic is what everyone constantly seeks.
  • It’s not just jealousy that makes them not want to see you succeed. It’s mostly because your success is proof that they didn’t try hard enough, that they gave up too soon. Your success is a reminder of that.
  • You must determine what is more important to you: living or surviving. Choose wisely.
  • It’s a kind of inner emptiness, as if nothing we do has any real meaning. Nothing seems to bring us the slightest intense pleasure. Everything is just as it is, just as it is. And that feeling can be painful. We tell ourselves that we absolutely need to give something alive to our body. But that’s false; the body already has everything it needs. Stop thinking it needs something else to feel better. Everything is there, everything is as it should be. We just need to learn to feel good alone, just as we manage to feel good when surrounded by others. And these administrative problems… They keep making me a prisoner. I aspire to freedom, yet every open door leads to another closed one.
  • The very day humanity discovers the magical potion for eternal life, that day will mark the end of humanity itself.
  • There are things I have written that I have never done, simply because they are just wishes and nothing more. They are things I would like to do or accomplish, but for which I do not yet possess the ability, the skill, the discipline, or the perseverance to achieve.
  • The only reason to learn should be curiosity, for the pleasure that learning brings, not for any other reason. Anything else is not learning but simply an obligation, a duty. Throughout my schooling, I did so many assignments and rarely took the time to answer my own personal questions.
  • It is useless to seek validation from others by inventing virtues we likely do not possess. Telling the truth is, above all, a moral obligation. The one who tells the truth protects themselves from moral destruction. My biggest lie was forcing myself to be the perfect friend, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect student. My body had to answer for me. If I even slightly feel that I am not ready to balance school and life, I don’t do it. The same goes for relationships. It is pointless to force others to like us; others and their interests can change. It is better to work hard to become the person we want to be.
  • To learn, two things are necessary: to be alive and to have the curiosity to learn. Life itself is the ultimate teacher.
  • People do evil mainly because they don’t know how to do anything else.
  • Boredom is not having nothing to do; it is wanting to do something but not knowing what. That’s when the body and mind revert to their old habits.
  • True stupidity is tormenting oneself over the luck of others. Telling yourself that what happens to them is unfair. The lie is believing that what happens to others should not happen to them. Oh, the liars… You are just one chance among many others.
