“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before.”

And we’re very, very pissed off.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;
how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”
