Cris

“The word 'risk' derives from the early Italian risicare, which means 'to dare'. In this sense, risk is a choice rather than a fate. The actions we dare to take, which depend on how free we are to make choices, are what the story of risk is all about. And that story helps define what it means to be a human being.”
― Peter L. Bernstein, Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“An idea so luminous flashed across her brain that she almost thought the room had leaped into light.”
― E.F. Benson

“My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
