"One of the biggest obstacles I've overcome in my life was thinking I didn't deserve to be successful. Artistically I'm not as much of a heavyweight as someone like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell, because I'm not a creator of original music, and I worried about that for years."

-- Bonnie Raitt

“All I can do is hope.”
“No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.”
