"Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings."
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
"We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities."
