You must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would be more honorable to you to be doing something else. You must have a pride in your own work and in learning to do it well.
George EliotI care only to know, if possible, the lasting meaning that lies in all religious doctrine from the beginning till now.
