Henri Frederic Amiel

Blessed be childhood, which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness.

Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.

Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I don't like creating software anymore. It's too exact. It's like karate; there's no room for error.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
