All writers of confessions, from Augustine on down, have always remained a little in love with their sins.

~Anatole France
 
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

e. e. cummings
 
“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.”

Soren K.

"There is no substitute for hard work." -Thomas Edison

"Find a mirror you like and trust, and stick to it. Correction. Find a mirror you like. Never mind about trust. It's too late for that - it's too late for trust. Stand by this mirror, and be true to it. Never so much as glance at another.

Actually things aren't quite that bad. Correction. Actually they are. But this is a truth we will have to postpone for many pages and then creep up on...

Beyond a certain age you no longer know what you look like. Something goes wrong with mirrors. They lose the power to tell you what you look like. All right, they do tell you, probably. But you can't see it.

Beyond a certain age, then, you have neither the means nor the opportunity to find out what you look like. All the mirror will give you (in at least two senses) is a rough idea."

Plato
