Whether you call someone a hero or a monster is all relative to where the focus of your consciousness may be.

Life is a guy trying to play a violin solo in public, while learning the music and his instrument at the same time.

The adventure is always and everywhere a passage beyond the veil of the known into the unknown; the powers that watch at the boundary are dangerous; to deal with them is risky; yet for anyone with competence and courage the danger fades.

You are the Hero of your own Story.

People forget facts, but they remember stories.

The departure from the world is regarded not as a fault, but as the first step into that noble path at the remotest turn of which illumination is to be won.

For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us.
