• Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying
• If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Because we all sell out to social pressures

• To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? A lot
• Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I'm more worried about doing things until graduation in May

• Why are you, you? Because I'm driven
