A quote from famous french existentialist writer Jean Paul Sartre.

 

"To act authentically we must take responsibility for our
future. We cannot choose what gender, class, or country we were
born into, but we can choose what we make of them. We are free to
create our own interpretation of ourselves in relation to the
world, to create a project of possibilities, of authentic actions
...as the expression of freedom". 



-Jean Paul Sartre:'Existence precedes essence
