Dig Deep! When the task at hand seems to be very difficult. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel you're drifting away from your intended course. Dig Deep! When others doubt you and say it can't be done. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel like giving up. Dig Deep! When life throws you a curveball. If you quit, you'll never hit that home run

— Amaka Imani Nkosazana

— Dada Bhagwan

Even when it seems that there is no one else, always remember there's one person who never ceased to love you - yourself.

For I have nothing to lean on, nowhere to call my home and there is nowhere I will go for Christmas to rest my head and touch familiar walls. I have no degree to show on paper or employment to take care of my health or the reassurance that I can pay my rent. And I have no right to complain because this is the road I choose, and I built it myself, not really knowing where I wanted it to lead, but I have hope in all things ahead and behind, and I am learning to let myself go. Forget my own ego and believe that what I am doing is grander than my very own self.

For too many centuries women have been being muses to artists. I wanted to be the muse, I wanted to be the wife of the artist, but I was really trying to avoid the final issue — that I had to do the job myself.

— Anaïs Nin

Genius is the ability to independently arrive at and understand concepts that would normally have to be taught by another person.
