Author of quotes: Dmitry Leontiev

Life in general requires courage. Guarantees of peace and comfort are absolutely illusory. The only alternative to inaction is to work your way and make your choices, to be an autonomous person. And it's important to be ready to stuff the bumps, get up again and move on. But to choose the position of "empty space" means to accept in advance that no one is responsible for our happiness. By taking responsibility, we recognize that there is at least one person in the world who is responsible for our happiness : ourselves.
