"So, Pan," said Hook at last, "this is all your doing."

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
