The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life.

"Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow.

But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know."
