It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

You can’t change the music of your soul.

Life's what's important. Walking, houses, family. Birth and pain and joy - and then death.

Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

Its a force of life, sex; you cant deny the thrill of riding high, wide and handsome with someone you love.

You can't just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don't just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be--and consistently.

Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.
