“It is a responsibility for those that see and have understanding, and choose to not be bridled by fear, to step forward and lead the way.”

“They couldn’t have known that even this was a lie—that we never really choose, not entirely. We are always being pushed and squeezed down one road or another. We have no choice but to step forward, and then step forward again, and then step forward again; suddenly we find ourselves on a road we haven’t chosen at all.But maybe happiness isn’t in the choosing. Maybe it’s in the fiction, in the pretending: that wherever we have ended up is where we intended to be all along.”

Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion.”
“Desire urges me on as fear bridles me" Bruno.”
“To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.”
