He’s 83

He’s 83. There can be no such thing as being the victim of another. You can only be the victim Of yourself. It’s all in how you discipline your mind.

— from Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)

In the book

An inclination is a pull, not a verdict; the moment you treat a tendency as a destiny, you hand away the controls and call it fate. The deeper version is making yourself a permanent victim — but there is, in the end, no such thing as being the victim of another; you can finally only be the victim of yourself. The second fault is the cruelty of your own inner voice. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
