There really is no learning without doing. -- Roger Schank, Engines for Education

Workers of the world, the chains that bind you are not held in place by a ruling class, a "superior" race, by society, the state, or a leader. They are held in place by none other than yourself. Those who seek to exploit are not themselves free, for they place no value in freedom. Who is it that really employs you and commands you to pick up your daily load? And who is it that you allow to pass judgment on the adequacy of your toil? Who have you empowered to dangle the carrot before you and threaten with disapproval? Who, when you wake each morning, sends you off to what you call your work? Is there an "I want to" behind all your "I have to," or have you been so long forgotten to yourself that "I want" exists only as an idea in your head? If you have disconnected from your soul's desire and are drowning in an ocean of "have to," then rise up and overthrow your master. Begin the journey toward emancipation. Work only in such a way that you are truly self-employed. -- Tim Gallwey, The inner game of work
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. -- Dr. Seuss
The important thing is not to stop questioning. -- Albert Einstein
Everything that can be invented has been invented. -- Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899
The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it. ~Henry Ford
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work. ~Thomas J. Watson
It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. –Mae Jemison
I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing. ~Martha Stewart
