Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
True strength is delicate.
