Life is a journey, not a destination.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Friedrich Nietzsche·1874No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson·1841Insist on yourself; never imitate.
Matsuo Bashō·1694Do not follow in the footsteps of the old masters, but seek what they sought — and find it in the mountains, the rivers, and the open sky.
