“Our lack of discipline destroys our freedom. Because we try and don’t train wisely, we end up being emotionally driven. We are slaves to the spectacular and the spontaneous. Most men would rather be entertained than be a part of transforming the world, and that erodes manliness and undercuts our confidence. If we can’t control ourselves, then we will be controlled by everything else. The angry, domineering masculinity that is so dangerous arises in part because impotent men lack self-control. They lash out because they are frustrated that they cannot control others around them. But they do not control themselves, either, and self-control is where true freedom begins.”
― Darrin Patrick, The Dude's Guide to Manhood: Finding True Manliness in a World of Counterfeits

“And loving you was a pattern of self-discovery because some way, somehow I always ended up learning something new about myself.”
― Robert M. Drake, Beautiful Chaos

“Do not seek water, get thirst.”
― Rumi

“Tell me if you ever cared,
if a single thought
for me was spared.

Tell me when you lie in bed,
do you think of something
I once said.

Tell me if you hurt at all,
when someone says
my name with yours.

It may have been so long ago,
but I would give
the world to know.”
― Lang Leav, Lullabies (Volume 2)
