What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.
