1 " I won’t tell you what to believe, Eragon. It is far better to be taught to think critically and then be allowed to make your own decisions than to have someone else’s notions thrust upon you. "
― Christopher Paolini , Eldest (The Inheritance Cycle, #2)
2 " Your life will be colourful if you just add colours to your life! It is your own decisions that will determine to have a miserable or a marvellous life! "
― Mehmet Murat ildan
3 " You are honest enough by nature to be able to see and judge your own self clearly - and that is a great thing. Never lose that honesty, Bobby - always be honest with yourself, know your own motives for what they are, good or bad, make your own decisions firmly and justly - and you will be a fine, strong character, of some real use in this muddled world of ours! "
― Enid Blyton , Summer Term at St Clare's
4 " We only give credence to that which we can prove exists. Since we cannot find evidence that gods, miracles, and other supernatural things are real, we do not trouble ourselves about them. If that were to change, if Helzvog were to reveal himself to us, then we would accept the new information and revise our position." " It seems a cold world without something . . . more." " On the contrary," said Oromis, " it is a better world. A place where we are responsible for our own actions, where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do, instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. I won't tell you what to believe, Eragon. It is far better to be taught to think critically and then be allowed to make your own decisions than to have someone else's notions thrust upon you. You asked after our religion, and I have answered you true. Make of it what you will. "
5 " Don't let others influence your life... make your own decisions if you want your life to be governed by self.... That's lesson for self... learn it to avoid tensions and problems in your life... "
― Debolina Bhawal
6 " Thinking for yourself and making your own decisions can be frightening. Letting go of other people’s expectations can leave you feeling empty for a time. And yet seeing yourself as an independent adult who can stand up for your own choices frees you to accept yourself as you are. "
