“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did.

So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from safe harbour.  Cast the wind in your sail.

Explore.  Dream.  Discover.”

~Mark Twain (b. November 30, 1835 – d. April 21, 1910)

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

~Haruki Murakami (b. January 12, 1949)
