If in Doubt, Quote!

Whining is the blue smoke in your tailpipe that lets you know you’re burning mental oil.

–Merlin Mann, 43 Folders

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. 

—Martha Graham

Mary wished to say something very sensible, but knew not how. 

—Jane Austen
