“Break the monotony. Do something strange and extravagant!”

“Congratulate yourself if you have broken the monotony of a conventional age”

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

“Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.”

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

“When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something.”
