“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”

― Leonardo da Vinci
