Съдбата не означава, че животът ти е предначертан. Затова е признак на пълно невежество да оставиш всичко на съдбата и да не допринасяш дейно за музиката на всемира. ...

Ptolemaic says it all; it means above all fixed and unchanging, that is to say different from real life which is by nature changing and temporary. It means: not according to natural truth, but according to man's desire and the pretense inspired by his fear of dying and his desire for permanence. ↗
