"It's the feeling that you get of finding the thing you were born to do. That's the most gratifying feeling in the world -- to do that thing that makes you feel like God blew his breath through your body when you do it..." - T.D. Jakes

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett
"I never understand complaints about plays being "dated." Naturally, all plays that weren't written yesterday are dated: Their diction, their costumes, their stage conventions, and their mores all belong to the time when they were conceived. That's what makes them interesting: the excitement of comparing their view of the world with ours, of seeing how well their sense of humanity still holds up, or doesn't, despite all the obstacles time has piled in between." -- Michael Feingold
