"There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious,
makes you so sick at heart that you can’t take part, you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and
upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve
got to make it stop, and you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it,
to the people who own it that unless you’re free, the machine will be
prevented from working at all!"
- Mario Savio
"I don’t want perfection. I want progression. A reason to feel like I must keep working harder at what it is I love."

"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you."
