« Happiness comes from conquest when joy is perhaps simply, and it is not as simple as that, to open up to what is, to give daily. Joy would proceed more from the act of receiving than from the act of conquering. »

« In the "why do we live?", there is often "for others." In the end, we're not much. We're going to "click" in a few years, that's for sure. What will be left of us? Nothing or not much. Here's an invitation to enjoy free. There is no sense in existence. No sense that could be found in retrospect to say, "My life made sense." There is no need to look for why I exist. Life is purely free. Instead, we have to ask ourselves how I can give the most of everything I am today. »
