“Since when was being tired an excuse to stop trying?”
― J.R. Moehringer, The Tender Bar: A Memoir

“You must do everything that frightens
you, JR. Everything. I'm not talking about
risking your life, but everything else.
Think about fear, decide right now how
you're going to deal with fear, because
fear is going to be the great issue of your
life, I promise you. Fear will be the fuel
for all your success, and the root cause of
all your failures, and the underlying
dilemma in every story you tell yourself
about yourself. And the only chance you'll
have against fear? Follow it. Steer by it.
Don't think of fear as the villain. Think of
fear as your guide, your pathfinder-your
Natty Bumppo.”
― J.R. Moehringer, The Tender Bar: A Memoir

“And I felt like life was just waiting for me to make up the story.”
― Will Smith, Will

“Freedom is not utopia, because it is a basic aspiration; the whole history of mankind consists of struggles and efforts to creates social institutions capable of ensuring a maximum of freedom.”
― Antonio Gramsci, The Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings 1916-1935
