Pleasure without joy is as hollow as passion without tenderness.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

Every civilization is, among other things, an arrangement for domesticating the passions and setting them to do useful work.

And, more importantly, reach for the stars. And realize that it is never too late—not now, not ever—for you to pursue you passion, your pursuit of perfection. And most importantly, your perseverance for making it happen.
