J.L. Carr
“You know how it is when a tricky job is going well because you're doing things the way they should be done, when you're working in rhythm and feel a reassuring confidence that everything's unraveling naturally and all will be right in the end. That's about it: I know what I was doing -- it's really what being a professional means.”
J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country

Gift Gugu Mona
“Find the courage to climb mountains, whether big or small, personal or professional, physical or mental. Climb those mountains, because conquering them is fundamental.”
Gift Gugu Mona, Coming to Grips with the Mountains and Valleys of This World
