Quote by Kieron Gillen

“Don't be ashamed of the creative urges which drive you. And certainly don't be ashamed of your ego. Hubris is only hubris when it fails. When Hubris pays off, we call these people geniuses.”

“Negative feelings are in you, not in reality. Stop trying to change reality. That's crazy! Stop trying to change the other person.

Negative feelings are in you.”

“No person on earth has the power to make you unhappy. There is no event on earth that has the power to disturb you or hurt you. No event, condition, situation, or person. Nobody told you this; they told you the opposite. That's why you're in the mess you're in right now. That is why you're asleep. They never told you this. But it's self-evident.”
