Never come back either to take a run.
Who knows whether, if I had given up smoking, I should really have become the strong perfect man I imagined? Perhaps it was this very doubt that bound me to my vice, because life is so much pleasanter if one is able to believe in one's own latent greatness.(from "Zeno's Conscience")
A good will is one that acts from duty in accordance with the universal moral law.

I don't miss my own past. I miss the past overall: the sixties of Kerouak, the twenties in Paris of the Lost Generation, 1890 of Dead Man, 1904 of Barrie. I don't make movies to see a new place, but a different period.

When you men talk of something, do you have to always say: it is folly, it is wise, it is good, it is bad! But what does this mean? Have you, who talk this way, investigated the internal movements of an action? Do you know how to understand with certainty the causes, and understand why that happened and why it had to happen? If you had done so you would be less ready to judge.
We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better.
