Quotes

[“The world is what it is. We must adapt, we must look for new ways to survive.”,”I am the stone that the builder refused. I am the bridge that the two builders would not cross. I am the path that you must not take. I am the spark that will light the fire that will burn the world down.”,”It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”]
