“To be or not to be, that is NOT the question. Rather, it should be, What do I want to be?”

“The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?”

“The question to ask about an education is not 'What can I do with it?' but rather 'What is it doing to me – as a person?”

“The question to ask about education is not ‘What can I do with it?’ That is the wrong question because it concentrates on instrumental values and reduces everything to a useful art. The right question is rather ‘What can it do to me?”

“What do I want?The answer to that question does not exist.”

“The question should not be "What would Jesus do?" but rather, more dangerously, "What would Jesus have me do?" The onus is not on Jesus but on us, for Jesus did not come to ask semidivine human beings to do impossible things. He came to ask human beings to live up to their full humanity; he wants us to live in the full implication of our human gifts, and that is far more demanding.”
