When You Feel There Is No Escape, That's When You Must.



(Went to the movie for a few hours of escapes.)



“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”

- Anais Nin


When the walls close in, make your escape...

“Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.”

- Ani Difranco


There is no escape if you choose to sink in the quicksand of self-pity,
But even quicksand can't hold you if you can grow wings and fly away.

When Fatigue Sets In.



(I am exhausted.)


“There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work”

- Charles H. Spurgeon



That is a little difficult to accept when your fatigue is caused by too much work.

- James Monroe



I need a lot of flattery now.

It Is The Middle That Counts (Before You Are At The End)



“Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts. You have to remember this when you find yourself at the beginning.”

- Sandra Bullock


I was caught in the middle once and found it both scary and sad.

“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

- Albert Einstein


Now if I can figure out where the middle is.

The Tiny Pushes of Honest Work.






I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

- Helen Keller



And isn’t it sad that only heroes who got noticed?

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,

But they, while their companions slept,

Were toiling upward in the night.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


But the heights reached by great men
Looked like they were achieved overnight.
