“In a year we have 525,600 minutes, and there's always just that one individual minute that can alter your life and make you the person who you were destined to become. If we capture that minute and bear achievement from it, then that's what makes the difference between the successful and the burdened."

Looking into the night sky to make a wish is a meaningless procedure. By making a wish you distinguish it from a goal. By definition, a goal is what we work toward to make a difference in our lives; while a wish is what we would want to occur. That's why as I gaze into the night sky, I choose the brightest star, not to wish upon, but to set a goal.

Unless a man has been taught what to do with success after getting it, the achievement of it must inevitably leave him a prey to boredom.

The Other Jane Russell

It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you. No one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea. Really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.

I dislike Nietzsche because he likes the contemplation of pain, because he erects conceit into a duty, because the men whom he most admires are conquerors, whose glory is cleverness in causing men to die.
