• There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do.

• "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." - Anais Nin
• "Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. there is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there." -Henry Miller
• "I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity." -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

• If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winn...

• "If you wanna tap out cause your life is shit...you know what? It's not YOUR life, it's life. Life is bigger than you, if you can imagine that. Life isn't something you possess, it's something you take part in."
• “I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. And even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever inwardly. Do you understand? Being the fact that you are alive is amazing, so you don’t get to be bored.”

• “Like most others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going.”

• "Believe..that man’s brain is a poor recorder, forgetful and vague. Remember about the shadow of past knowledge. Write about your own experience. By that experience someone else may be a bit richer some day. Read widely of others experiences in thought and action— stretch to others even though it hurts and strains and would be more comfortable to snuggle back in the comforting cotton-wool of blissful ignorance! Hurl yourself at goals above your head and bear the lacerations that come when you slip and make a fool of yourself. Try always, as long as you have breath in your body, to take the hard way, the Spartan way— and work, work, work to build yourself into a rich, continually evolving entity!"

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Looking for Alaska by John Green Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

• If you know a thing only qualitatively, you know it no more than vaguely. If you know it quantitatively-- grasping some numerical measure that distinguishes it from an infinite number of other possibilities-- you are beginning to know it deeply. You comprehend some of its beauty and you gain access to its power and the understanding it provides.

• "I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives."
• "Lately, I've been de-emphasizing what actors think of as character work. The limps and the lisps, the accents -- I don't want to be bothered. You gotta make it come from the inside. It's all about who you are. That's all you can really contribute. I feel autobiographical about whatever I do."
