Day 6.....
It is not doing the things we like to do,
But liking the things we have to do – that makes life blessed.
--Goethe
The genius of communication is the ability to be both totally honest
and totally kind at the same time.
Success in never final,
And failure is never fatal,
It’s courage that counts.
The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon.
But only to hold a man’s foot long enough
To put the other somewhat higher.
No man can have vivid vitality unless it be moving towards a blossoming.
And the most powerful is that which moves towards the as yet uknown.
--D.H. Lawrence
Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality,
to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moment’s sake.
It’s more important to do the right things than to do things right.
Human language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, when all the time we are longing to move the stars to pity.
The willingness to risk excess on behalf of one’s obsessions
Is that distinguishes artists from entertainers.
--John Updike
