“Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for thirty- five years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.” Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey
If of thy worldly goods
thou art bereft. . .
and to thee alone
two loaves are left,
sell one,
and with the dole,
buy Hyacinths
to feed thy Soul.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. • William Shakespeare, All’s Well That Ends Well
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
• Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
• Lao Tzu

“Greek philosopher, Epictetus, stated that people are disturbed not by things, but by the views we take of them. In the Book of Proverbs (23: 7) in the Old Testament you can find this passage: ‘For as he thinks within himself, so he is.’ And even Shakespeare expressed a similar idea when he said: ‘˜for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it.’ (Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2).”
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.’” Steve Jobs
