Inspiration
"The heart of man is very much like the sea; it has it's storms, it has it's tides and in it's depths, it has it's pearls too"
-Vincent Van Gogh
"Man cannot remake himself without suffering; for he is both the marble and the sculptor"
-Alexis Carrel
"It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in the muscles and an immature mind."
-Alex Karras
