“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
― Mark Twain

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”
