"The only impossible thing is something to be impossible."

"Once you know the rules of the game, you can change them."

"The question is not whether something is wrong with subjectivity. We are embedded in it, so we can only deal with it, or be blind and attempt to ignore it."

"Nothing is free of its own limits."

"Philosophers get paid for posing interesting questions; scientists for answering them. Thus, one cannot live without the other..."

"All meaning is for an observer."

"A one-night-stander is someone who does not dare to explore the full potential of a relationship, just like a child who is afraid to go to the deep part of the pool. The latter does not want to learn how to swim, the former does not want to learn how to live."

"You shouldn't compete against others. You should compete against yourself."

"Everything can be seen as a system because there is nothing you cannot ."

"Disobey this phrase."

"Don't try to be better than others. Try to be better than yourself."

"Life is a constant adaptation."

"Only misery is for free."

"Even if you do everything a woman wants, it will not be enough. But of course, this is no reason for not doing it."

"People fail to achieve goals not because of lack of abilities, but because of lack of determination. (any ability can be learned)."

"I do not make any ontological claims. The moment you speak about them, they are already epistemology."

"All violence stems from fear"
