“Travelling is a fool's paradise. We owe to our first journeys the discovery that place is nothing. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern Fact, the sad self, unrelenting identical that I fled from.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, First Series

“He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope.”
― Terry Brooks, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

“Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise?”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson
