    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol—cross or crescent or whatever—that symbol is man’s reminder of his duty inside the human race.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    “Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.”
