Samuel Beckett

Only in recent history has “working hard” signaled pride rather than shame for lack of talent, finesse and, mostly, sprezzatura.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Guided by His wisdom, strong in His strength, there maybe for you struggle and suffering, the darkness and the storm. "The disciple is not above His Master." There may be weeping that shall endure for a night, but joy shall come in the morning. If the night cometh, so also the morning, "a morning without clouds," the morning of an eternal day.
Mark (educator) Hopkins
In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For out of black
soul's night have stirred
dawn's cold gleam,
morning's singing bird.George Woodcock
Having personally kissed in zero gravity, I was initially amazed by the unexpected lack of attraction, from the sheer perspective of the mass magnetism.
