“If what we think of ourselves were true, the planet would overflow with geniuses.”

“We measure everything by ourselves with almost a necessary conceit.”

“Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity.”

“We dream and fight with demons real and imagined.”

“We love the imperfect shapes in nature and in the works of art, look for an intentional error as a sign of the golden key and sincerity found in true mastery.”

“It is not important what happens where; Where we fall or rise, What we conquer or lose, How big or small we are.”
