Man creates what he is, man creates himself. The meaning has to be created. You have to sing your meaning, you have to dance your meaning, you have to paint your meaning, you have to live it.

It is not like a rock just lying there to be found, it has to bloom in your being.

No. It doesn't work like that. You have to pick up both sides because nothing is promised to anyone in this world besides death.
