Never have I been able to settle in life. Always seated askew, as if on the arm of a chair; ready to get up, to leave.
Andre GideDo not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
Andre GideIt is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.
