It has always been this way. Death is followed by birth. To reach paradise, man must pass through inferno. - Bertrand Zobrist - Dan Brown

Anyone who said power was not addictive had never really experienced it.

Remember death. Even for those who wield great power, life is brief. There is only one way to triumph over death, and that is by making our lives masterpieces. We must seize every opportunity to show kindness and to love fully.

And maybe that’s why the only thing that keeps me going is my belief that we are capable of being better than we are … capable of taking action to avoid a catastrophic future.
