I fancy that at the beginning some fairy may have offered me the choice between great power and station and the privilege of living always among books, and that I, like the good child in the fairy tale, chose the latter. ~James L. Whitney _________________

Eventually you come to realize that most people aren't looking for a fight but for someone to surrender to. ~Robert Brault _________________

Yes, that's the worst of it. It's a desperately vexatious thing that, after all one's reflections and quiet determinations, we should be ruled by moods that one can't calculate on beforehand. ~George Eliot _________________

Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still, it is never complete.
--- Paul Kalanithi
P.S. Just finished reading "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi...bestseller, published posthumously.

You have to be confident in who you are and what you're doing. Of course, you try to evolve. I would never tell you, 'Today is the best I will ever be.' I'm always trying to be a better chef, a better dad, a better person.
--- Guy Fieri
Makes sense to me!
