“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”

“Demand not that things happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do, and you will go on well.”
― Epictetus, The Discourses
