Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.

There is only one way: Go within. Search for the cause, find the impetus that bids you write. Put it to this test: Does it stretch out its roots in the deepest place of your heart? Can you avow that you would die if you were forbidden to write? Above all, in the most silent hour of your night, ask yourself this: Must I write? Dig deep into yourself for a true answer. And if it should ring its assent, if you can confidently meet this serious question with a simple, I must, then build your life upon it. It has become your necessity. Your life, in even the most mundane and least significant hour, must become a sign, a testimony to this urge.

Death is nothing to us; when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Sometimes, all you need is for someone just to be there, Even if they cant solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can make all the difference.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
