“What people lack in life is not more reality but illusion, fantasy, play.”
― Robert Greene, The Art of Seduction

“Life gives no one immunity against adversity, but life gives to everyone the power of positive thought, which is sufficient to master all circumstances of adversity and convert them into benefits.”
― Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil®: The Secret to Freedom and Success

“In its essence, any art that relies on words makes use of their ability to eat away—of their corrosive function—just as etching depends on the corrosive power of nitric acid. Yet the simile is not accurate enough; for the copper and the nitric acid used in etching are on a par with each other, both being extracted from nature, while the relation of words to reality is not that of the acid to the plate. Words are a medium that reduces reality to abstraction for transmission to our reason, and in their power to corrode reality inevitably lurks the danger that the words themselves will be corroded too. It might be more appropriate, in fact, to liken their action to that of excess stomach fluids that digest and gradually eat away the stomach itself.”
― Yukio Mishima, Sun & Steel

“The man who takes more pride in the steps to attain the result than the result itself cannot be stopped. The work truly instills the worth.”
― Wes Watson, Non Negotiable: Ten Years Incarcerated- Creating the Unbreakable Mindset
