Alter

"I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers."

"Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality."

"But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them for ever."
