The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

What does not kill me makes me stronger

Surviving hardship increases resilience

Hell is other people

Our identities are shaped and constrained by others' perceptions

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains

Society constrains the natural freedom we are born with

To be is to be perceived

Existence depends on being observed or experienced

Man is a social animal

Humans are naturally inclined to live in communities

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of

Emotion operates by a logic beyond rational analysis
