There's a word for a writer who never gives up: published.
It is very true, that the way you think creates reality for yourself.
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.
The greatest danger that threatens us is neither heterodox thought nor orthodox thought, but the absence of thought.
The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face? We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
I come from all places and to all places I go: I am art among the arts and mountain among mountains. I know the strange names of flowers and herbs and of fatal deceptions and magnificent griefs. In night's darkness I've seen raining down on my head pure flames, flashing rays of beauty divine.
I shall hear in heaven.
