Brian Eno // "People...often want to aim for the biggest, most obvious target, and hit it smack in the bull's eye.

You make the niches in which you finally reside."
Mickey Rourke // "You know, if you're going to lead people, you have to have somewhere to go."

Estée Lauder // "When I thought I couldn't go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence... Persistence: It's that certain little spirit that compels you to continue just when you're at your most tired...it's the immovable stubbornness that will not allow you to cave in when everyone says give up."
George Clinton // “Put a glide in your stride, a dip in yo' hip and come on up to the mothership.”
