“I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia

“Oh! why was I born with a different face? why was I not born like the rest of my race? when
I look,each one starts! when I speak, I offend; then Im silent & passive & lose every friend. Then
my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise, my person degrade & my temper chastise; and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame; all my talents I bury, and dead is my fame. Im either too low or too highly prized; when elate I m envy'd, when meek Im despis'd”
― William Blake

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
