Fernando Pessoa1 quote
The only freedom the gods grant us
Is this: to submit
Of our own free will to their sovereignty
We should do just that,
Since only in the illusion of freedom
Does freedom exist. — Fernando Pessoa · 1914William Shakespeare1 quote
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings. — William Shakespeare · 1599
