“Why do they always teach us that it’s easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It’s the hardest thing in the world—to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”
– Ayn Rand (via myquotelibrary)

“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.”
– John Greenleaf Whittier, Maud Muller - Pamphlet (via larmoyante)
