Do not despair of life. Think of the fox, prowling in a
winter night to satisfy his hunger. His race survives;
I do not believe any of them ever committed suicide.
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.”

Objects are not deceiving – they are deception. What we see, what we hear – all that our senses present to us is fiction. No more real than a dream. We can only know that which we believe. That which we believe – that … is all we have.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than
anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself,
and be lenient to everybody else.

- Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)
