“Fear doesn't go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.”
― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.”
― William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

“Action has magic, grace, and power in it.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Selfish father of men!
Cruel, jealous, selfish fear!
Can delight,
Chained in night,
The virgins of youth and morning bear.

'Does spring hide its joy
When buds and blossoms grow?
Does the sower
Sow by night,
Or the plowman in darkness plow?

'Break this heavy chain,
That does freeze my bones around!
Selfish, vain,
Eternal bane,
That free Love with bondage bound.”
― William Blake, Songs of Experience
