"And yet I have had the weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire” - Charles Dickens (A Tale of Two Cities) Don't Follow Me. I Don't Know Where I'm Going.

"Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. Go to Paris to be in Paris, not to cross it off your list and congratulate yourself for being worldly. Exercise free will and creative, independent thought not for the satisfactions they will bring you, but for the good they will do others."

David McCullough Jr. (“You’re Not Special” commencement speech - Wellesley High School class of 2012)
