Not to hope is unthinkable. Not to care is unforgivable. Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it. When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. Total absence of humor renders life impossible. Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it' s the only time we've got.
