‎They are angry with me, because I know what I am. Said the little eagle. How do you know that they are angry with you? Because, they despise me for wanting to soar, they only want me to peck at the dirt, looking for ants, with them. But I can't do that. I don't have chicken feet, I have eagle wings. And what is so wrong with having eagle wings and no chicken feet? Asked the old owl. I'm not sure, that's what I'm trying to find out. They hate you because you know that you are an eagle and they want you to think you are a chicken so that you will peck at the ground looking for ants and worms, so that you will never know that you are an eagle and always think yourself a chicken. Let them hate you, they will always be chickens, and you will always be an eagle. You must fly. You must soar. Said the old owl.

Do you have a leather jacket? One for a ten-year-old boy? I asked the man selling leather jackets and gloves in Covent Garden, London. Yes, I have one right here! And the man dug out a fine leather jacket that looked styled and tailored for a young boy. I'm buying this for my son I said to him. I love this jacket, it's perfect, I think I will just come back for it tomorrow, though! I'll be back tomorrow, okay? And the man reached his arms above his head, and said with a big smile upon his face You only have one life to live! What is the difference if you do something today, or if you do it tomorrow? I thought about the man's words. And I bought the jacket. He was right, there is no difference, really, between doing something today and doing something tomorrow, when you only have one life to live! Afterall, tomorrow may never come! All you really have is today!

Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.

~ Yasmina Khadra

No one is ever going to give you something that they're too afraid to even claim for themselves. People don't know themselves, so they don't like to see other people figure it out and live their lives in ways that they themselves cannot. So they try to box you in, and limit you, so they don't feel inadequate. But you don't need their approval- the only person who ever, ever limits you is yourself.
