If you like what you do, and you’re lucky enough to be good at it, do it for that reason.

Noam Chomsky

If there is no door to your dream, create one.

E'yen A. Gardner

It is not short of amazing, the power of a great idea to weld men together. There was in it a peculiar, intense, vital spirit if you will, that I have never felt before in any strike.
