“Forsake all inhibitions, Pursue thy dreams.”

Resist much, obey little.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.

As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.

Produce great men, the rest follows.

O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done.

Anything’s possible, you gotta dream like you never seen obstacles.

We must constantly encourage ourselves and each other to attempt the heretical actions that our dreams imply and so many of our old ideas disparage.

If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.

Only our dreams understand better that hearts are meant to be broken.

You have to be willing to allow the person you are today to die so that you can give birth to the person you are meant to become.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
