“I want you to know that your ambitions are just as important and worth achieving, however big or small. Often people with the best ideas face the greatest challenges—their country at war; a lack of money or education or the support of those around them. But like me, they choose to stay focused because that dream—as far away as it seems—is the truest and most hopeful thing they have. Think of your dreams and ideas as tiny miracle machines inside you that no one can touch. The more faith you put into them, the bigger they get, until one day they’ll rise up and take you with them. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To Andrea Barthello & Bill, Sam, Mike, and Ramsay Ritchie—thank you for welcoming me into your family.”

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
