“There is no such things as darkness, only a failure to see.”

“I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.”

“Afraid of the darkness of the unknown, the spaces in which we see only dimly, we often choose the darkness of closed eyes, of obliviousness.”

“To see is one thing; to picture or visualise is another. A person can see things, only when his eyes are open, and when his surroundings are illuminated; but he can have pictures in his mind’s eye, when his eyes are shut and when the world is dark.”

“The best thing about failure is that it is only temporary. Embrace it, learn the lesson and come back much stronger.”

“I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.”

“There is a great deal to be said for the Arts. For one thing they offer the only career in which commercial failure is not necessarily discreditable.”

“Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.”
