“My wildest dreams are when I'm wide awake”

“Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy”

“There is hardly an absurdity of the past that cannot be found flourishing somewhere in the present. Underneath all civilization, ancient or modern, moved and still moves a sea of magic, superstition and sorcery. Perhaps they will remain when the works of our reason have passed away.”

“Have talent, work hard, get lucky!”

“Hard work is much more important than talent”
