Quote by André Aciman

“There they were, the legacy of youth, the two mascots of my life, hunger and fear, watching over me, saying "So many before you have taken the chance and been rewarded, why can't you?" No answer. "So many have balked, so why must you?" No answer. And then it came, as ever deriding me: "If not later, Elio, when?”

“Not until something challenges you to rise up, you shall always stay down; not until you realize your enough is enough, you shall always have enough. When you keep exerting your energy, time and attention on things which least invoke your courage to rise up and climb to the distinctive best, you shall always stay at your best with the same energy, time and attention time on the less better you because of reluctance, ignorance and fear! The lion that hunts, is always on the move! Awake, challenge and change something!”
