Perhaps you still think you ought to think out beforehand and know what you ought to do. To that there is only one answer. You can only know and think about it by actually doing it. You can only learn what obedience is by obeying. It is no use asking questions, for it is only through obedience that you come to learn the truth.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It no longer matters who consider themselves the masters of events. Events no longer obey their masters.
