Always do what you are afraid to do. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Life consists of what man is thinking about all day."

"Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet."

"Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them."

"There is creative reading as well as creative writing."

"What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find."
