“Importantly, nothing in this book is an advocacy for one type of career, industry, set of knowledge, or field of study. The practical methods in this book are not like a map with the journey and destination laid out, but like a set of tools, helping you to be a better architect of your professional life.”

“Importunity is a condition of prayer. We are to press the matter, not with vain repetitions, but with urgent repetitions. We repeat, not to count the times, but to gain the prayer. We cannot quit praying because heart and soul are in it. We pray "with all perseverance." We hang to our prayers because by them we live. We press our pleas because we must have them, or die.”

“Imposing excessive new regulations, or closing coal-fired power plants, would produce few health or environmental benefits. But it would exact huge costs on society - and bring factories, offices and economies to a screeching halt in states that are 80-98% dependent on coal: Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.”

“Imposition of the death penalty is arbitrary and capricious. Decision of who will live and who will die for his crime turns less on the nature of the offense and the incorrigibility of the offender and more on inappropriate and indefensible considerations: the political and personal inclinations of prosecutors; the defendant's wealth, race and intellect; the race and economic status of the victim; the quality of the defendant's counsel; and the resources allocated to defense lawyers.”

“Impossibilitarians are defeated before the battle even begins. The best attitude that accommodates failure is disbelief. You can't do it because you believe you can't! You can do it because you believe you can!”

“Impossible? Bring it on! I once believed it was impossible... until I proved myself wrong. When the challenge loomed, a profound darkness filled my vision. Fear, cold and sharp, swept away every shred of confidence I possessed. My own whispers amplified the terror, echoing it in my ears. In that moment, I realized the darkness had claimed *me*. Its grip was absolute. Amidst the whirlwind of my surrender, a gentle yet insistent voice arose: "Is this truly who you are?" Shame washed over me. Swiftly, I changed my inner chant. "Yes. I *can*," I breathed. The words, hesitant at first, gained strength with each repetition, forging resolve. Emboldened, I faced the darkness anew. Now, I saw it for what it was: not a monstrous force, but simply the absence of light. *My* light. The challenge lost its dread, revealing itself as something needing illumination, not fearing. I stepped forward, extending my light into the void. Joy surged as I watched the shadows recoil and scatter before its steady beam. Impossible? I choose that word with care now. I look upward, I look within, and draw upon the strength that transforms the impossible into possibility.”

“Impossible crimes! But I assure you that just such crimes, and perhaps still more awful ones, have existed in the past and at all times, and not only among us but everywhere, and, in my opinion, will occur again and again for a very long time. The only difference is that there was much less publicity in Russian in the old days, while now people have begun to talk and even to write of such cases, so that it seems as though these criminals were a recent phenomenon.”

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.”

“Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing”
