More From Andre Maurois

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.

Men speak of blind destiny, a thing without scheme or purpose. but what sort of destiny is that? each act in this world from which there can be no turning back has before it another, and it another yet. in a vast endless net. men imagine that the choices before them are theirs to make. but we are free to act only upon what is given. choice is lost in the maze of generations and each act in the maze is itself an enslavement for it voids every alternative and binds one ever more tightly into the constraints that make a life.
Destiny Men Choices
The conviction: i will not tolerate this age. the freedom: the freedom to act on my conviction. and i will act. no one else has both the conviction and the freedom. many agree with me, have the conviction, but will not act. some act, assassinate, bomb, burn, etc., but they are the crazies. crazy acts by crazy people. but what if one, sober, reasonable, and honorable man should act, and act with perfect sobriety, reason, and honor? then you have the beginning of a new age. we shall start a new order of things.
Crazy Men Order
Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. but what is nature? why is habit not natural? i am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.

We want to see oil and gas regulations on a continental basis given the integrated nature of this industry, with the current conditions in the oil and gas sector, this government will not consider unilateral regulation.
Nature Government Oil
Were i called on to define, very briefly, the term art, i should call it 'the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.' the mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'artist.'
