„Zdecydowałem się znaleźć to, czego szukałem, nawet jeśli wymagało to reszty mojego życia.”

Oryginał

I had made up my mind to find that for which I was searching even if it required the remainder of my life.

As quoted in Making a Habit of Success: How to Make a Habit of Succeeding, How to Win With High Self-Esteem (1999) by MacK R. Douglas, p. 45. Unsourced variant: What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists... and it becomes available only when you are in that state of mind in which you know exactly what you want...and are fully determined not to quit until you get it.
Kontekst: I had made up my mind to find that for which I was searching even if it required the remainder of my life. After innumerable failures I finally uncovered the principle for which I was searching, and I was astounded at its simplicity. I was still more astounded to discover the principle I had revealed not only beneficial in the construction of a mechanical hearing aid but it served as well as means of sending the sound of the voice over a wire. Another discovery which came out of my investigation was the fact that when a man gives his order to produce a definite result and stands by that order it seems to have the effect of giving him what might be termed a second sight which enables him to see right through ordinary problems. What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

„Guillaume Canet doskonale streścił przesłanie filmu [Niebo nad Saharą]: trzeba zawsze iść do przodu w nadziei znalezienia czegoś, a nawet jeśli nie znajdzie się tego, czego się szuka, to znajdzie się coś innego. Trzeba iść, by żyć.”

Karim Dridi (1961)
