“Up to a point a person’s life is shaped by environment, heredity, and changes in the world about them. Then there comes a time when it lies within their grasp to shape the clay of their life into the sort of thing they wish it to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune or the quirks of fate. Everyone has the power to say, "This I am today. That I shall be tomorrow.”
― Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum

“<‘I will accept the rules that you feel are necessary for your own freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.’>”
― M.D. Cooper, Rika Triumphant

“You insolent prick! You have bloodied me.” “Weird,” I said, lazily leaning on the axe, “that’s what your sister said to me last night.” Definitely got a few oohs from the audience for that one.”
― Eric Ugland, Heir Today, Pawn Tomorrow
