"If you have only one life, you cant altogether ignore the question: are you enjoying it?"

-- Sebastian Faulks

“The ability to meditate successfully is a very unique skill that will help you better weather the storms of life.”
“In anything there has to be dark and light. There's a lot of joy in my paintings and a lot of darkness.”
“I admitted, that the world had existed millions of years. I am astonished at the ignorance of the masses on these subjects. Hugh Miller has it right when he says that 'the battle of evidences must now be fought on the field of the natural sciences.'”
“I just want to taste what it's like to win in New York”
“Neither human applause nor human censure is to be taken as the best of truth; but either should set us upon testing ourselves.”
“I don't care that no one has successfully defended the (light heavyweight) title. I care about preparation, training and getting inside the cage to fight.”
“The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer.”
“I don't want to be influenced as to what I write in the next book, to hear those voices in my head when I'm writing. The idea of second-guessing your reader is dangerous, trying to please some notional reader looking over your shoulder, instead of just yourself.”
