“Above all, don’t fear difficult moments. The best comes from them”
“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
“In some situations I was difficult, in odd moments impossible, in rare moments loathsome, but at my best unapproachably great.”
“Just for the record, I have come to fear all of your ideas in advance, simply from having endured enough of them.”
“You can sit up here, feeling above it all while knowing you’re not, coming to the lonely conclusion that the only thing you can ever really know about anyone is that you don’t know anything about them at all.”
“You will find out who you are when the difficult moment comes.”
