Starting a business isn't for everyone, and it's not what you should do if you aren't sure what else to do.

It's more often a life of failure than a life of success, and the majority of successes came after a long road of disappointment, and often shame. — Kathryn Minshew

It was a morning of ground mist, yellow sunshine, and high rifts of blue, white-cloud-dappled sky.

Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass. — James Whistler

It is unlikely that we will ever see a star being born. Stars are like animals in the wild. We may see the very young, but never their actual birth, which is a veiled and secret event.

The snow drifted down and down, all in ghostly silence, and lay thick and unbroken on the ground. It was a place of whites and blacks and greys.

R. Martin
The small gargoyle had gone entirely white to match the ceiling, and only the rims of his ears, his long clawlike nails, and a thick stripe down his whip-like tail were still gray.

I always start the day with a cup of hot water and lemon - I find it really cleanses and hydrates me. I have very sensitive, dry skin, so I have to be careful about what I put on my face.
