“The person who wants nothing, hopes for nothing, and fears nothing can never be an artist.”
― Anton Chekhov

Cormac McCarthy
“There is for a man two things in life that are very important, head and shoulders above everything else. Find work you like, and find someone to live with you like. Very few people get both.”
Cormac McCarthy
