Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious. — David Mamet

1962 to 1965, where suddenly the guitar became this icon of youth culture all over the world, thanks mostly to the Beatles.

So you add it up and see that irresistible forces led me to the guitar. — Pat Metheny

Fear is the tool of a man-made devil. Self-confident faith in one's self is both the man-made weapon which defeats this devil and the man-made tool which builds a triumphant life.
