That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“Yesterday's faults become today's lessons. Today's dreams become tomorrow's reality.”

“Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.”
