“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

“People are "punished" or "rewarded" not for what they have done but for what they have become, and what we intentionally do is what makes us what we are.”

“We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.”

“Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.”

“When we surrender when we do not fight with life when it calls upon us we are lifted and the strength to do what needs to be done finds us.”

“It seems to me, that this, too, is how memory works. What we remember of what was done to us shapes our view, molds us, sets our stance. But what we remember is past, it no longer exists, and yet we hold on to it, live by it, surrender so much control to it. What do we become when we put down the scripts written by history and memory, when each person before us can be seen free of the cultural or personal narrative we've inherited or devised?When we, ourselves, can taste that freedom.”
