"Find out who you are... and do it on purpose." That's Dolly Parton.
— Phoebe? Do you have a plan?
— I don't even have a "pla."
Explanation:
Translated from the Russian by Kathleen Cook
To live, you need a goal; to live without a goal is like lying in the grave.
You can change your life if you want to. Sometimes you have to be hard on yourself, but you can change it completely, I know.
All in vain if you die a meaningless death
Maybe, just maybe, there is no purpose in life… but if you linger a while longer in this world, you might discover something of value in it. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.
When I was a kid, back when I watched heroes on TV and stuff, the hero said, "What is your happiness?" He absolutely hated ending without knowing what happiness was, he said. But no one knows the answer to the meaning of happiness. I thought, "Don't say scary stuff to kids that aren't even in grade school yet." To become rich? To be popular with girls? To get into a good school? To be respected? Of course, I'm sure that for many, that's what happiness is. But none of them are my happiness. I know... what my happiness is!
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
— What does all this mean, Teresa?
— It’s hardly profound. The reason is very simple: I’ve found a reason to live. From now on, I’m going to live for the girl.
— Polnareff, have you ever wondered what people live for?
— People live by struggling with insecurity and fear for the sake of peace of soul. Seeks fame, rule over others, even accumulate wealth. All for the sake of peace of soul. Marriage and friendship are designed for peace of soul. When they help others, they affirm everything for the sake of peace and love, everything for the sake of peace of soul. Its achievement is the goal of all mankind.
