your own
inadequacies.”

is a sacred gift and
the rational mind
is a faithful servant.
We have created
a society that
honors the
servant and
has forgotten
the gift.”

6. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
“I have the nerve to
walk my own way,
however hard, in my
search for reality,
rather than climb
upon the
rattling wagon
of wishful
illusions.”

ironic attitude
is not cool
or romantic,

and
destructive.”

what you are

who
you are.”

to devote himself
to art and good
masters who

something
of him.”

as I now think—
that a man who dares
to waste one hour
of time, has not
discovered the
value of life…
there is nothing
as intolerable
as idleness.”

13. ~ Robert Greene
“Mastery is not a
question of genetics
of luck, but of

stirs you
from
within.”

“One repays
a teacher
badly
if one
remains only
a pupil.”

time and intense
focus applied to
a particular
field of
knowledge.”

Emerson
“In every work of
genius we recognize
our own rejected
thoughts; they
come back to us
with a certain
alienated
majesty.”

“It is the height of
selfishness to merely
consume what
others create and
to retreat into a
shell of limited
goals and
immediate
pleasures.”

18. ~ Arthur
Schopenhauer
“To become indignant at
[people’s] conduct is as
foolish as to be angry with
a stone because it rolls
into your path. And
with many people

can do, is to resolve
to make use of
those whom you
cannot alter.”

19. ~ Robert Greene
“If you are worried

jeopardized,

for expressing
your social
intelligence.”
