(from Brother, Sister)

“Consider this; that there is no such thing as a free man. At best, some are freer than others. Considering the chaotic maelstrom of conflicting emotions, thoughts and sensory perceptions that muddle and confuse even our simplest decisions – how could we be free? Take the people we consider free – maybe we only envy them because they are not pursued by our own particular devils.”
_Thomas Lowe

“If there is trouble, pain, sorrow, etc.; we must first look to ourselves for the answer. The magnitude of anything is only what we perceive it to be. There is no reward in doing anything except for the freedom of our actions.
_P. R. Lowe
