Lord Byron

William Blake
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
E. O. Wilson
The face of a lover is an unknown precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery containing like all mysteries the possibility of torment.
