Rainer Maria Rilke
“You, darkness, of whom I am born- I love you more than the flame that limits the world to the circle it illumines and excludes the rest.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

Isaac Asimov
“The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.”
Isaac Asimov

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“How do you innovate? First, try to get in trouble. I mean serious, but not terminal, trouble. I hold—it is beyond speculation, rather a conviction—that innovation and sophistication spark from initial situations of necessity, in ways that go far beyond the satisfaction of such necessity (from the unintended side effects of, say, an initial invention or attempt at invention).”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Jimi Hendrix
“Sometimes you'll want to give up the guitar. You'll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you're gonna be rewarded.”
Jimi Hendrix

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Want the change. Be inspired by the flame
where everything shines as it disappears.
The artist, when sketching, loves nothing so much
as the curve of the body as it turns away.

What locks itself in sameness has congealed.
Is it safer to be gray and numb?
What turns hard becomes rigid
and is easily shattered.

Pour yourself like a fountain.
Flow into the knowledge that what you are seeking
finishes often at the start, and, with ending, begins.

Every happiness is the child of a separation
it did not think it could survive. And Daphne, becoming a laurel,
dares you to become the wind.

- Sonnets To Orpheus, Part Two, XII
Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus
