“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
