To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves, wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning, truth, beauty.
