If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
-Benjamin Franklin
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
-W. H. Auden
