“They claim their labours are to build a heaven yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. A clock without a craftsman. It's too late. Always has been, always will be…too late.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen

― Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely

“Never, however, do I take shortcuts. There is not path of least resistance in my training. What I do equates to hard manual labor, disciplined grunt work.

Your toughest critic is the one you face every morning in the mirror.”
― Dean Karnazes, Run! 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss
