"Providence may guide a man to meet one specific person, even if such guidance eventually leads him to darkness. Man simple cannot forsake the beauty of his own chosen path. When will man learn a way to control his soul?"
"In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law; is it like the hand of god hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will."
"Every man sacrifices himself for his ambitions, especially when he posseses a young heart; he is unable to supress his burning ambition to gain glories and to lose dreams. Those are the fates one can scarcely avoid."
