Always dream and shoot higher ...

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don\'t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

Quotes from the same author

Man the sum of what have you. A problem in impure properties carried tediously to an unvarying nil: stalemate of dust and desire.
 William Faulkner
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
 William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies.

That was when I learned that words are no good; that words dont ever fit even what they are trying to say at. When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn't care whether there was a word for it or not. I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had the fear; pride, who never had the pride.
