“Work tirelessly on the things that you love. Don't worry about ‘failing.’ Don't worry about producing work that you don't think is any good, because that's an essential crucible that you have to get through.” – Scott Dikkers
“Writing a book to me is not just sharing information or telling a story. It's how do I metabolize the story and take it in enough that when I write or speak, it's a transmission, it's a message, it's a lesson, it's something ancient.” – Celinne Da Costa
