“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”

Mark Twain

“Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel
that you, too, can become great.”
