By the way, if you're in this room right now and you're successful ... you didn't get there because someone loved you too much or gave you too many hugs or you got a trophy when you lost. You did it because at one point in your life, somebody turned to you and said you're a loser, and in that second, you decided to bust your ass to make them choke on that sentence ...

has sounded in shadows
may, looking onward, restore

Know and be still.
Inside the Double World
all voices become
eternally mild. — Rainer Maria Rilke
