The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.
What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.
Genius without discipline is like a ship without a rudder.
If you’re horrible to me, I’m going to write a song about it, and it won’t be a good one for you.
La poesía es el lenguaje del alma, la voz de lo invisible.
