ORIGINALITY is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe -- you can't take a taxi.
Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself.
I watch with envious eyes and mind, the single-souled who dare not feelThe wind that blows beyond the moon, who do not hear the fairy reel
Neil Gaiman
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.

If I die prematurely I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.
Samuel Butler
The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.
Our firmest convictions are apt to be the most suspect, they mark our limitations and our bounds. Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries.
Jos
It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.
All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.
Aldous Huxley
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than the arguments of its opposers.
