"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, fabulous, and talented? Actually, who are you not to be all these things? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same."
~Nelson Mandela's Inaugural Address to the people of South Africa, 1994 [in the book]
"It's courage and character that make the difference between players and great players; between great surgeons the ones who bury their mistakes."
~Coach Pete Carril, pg. 107
"It is better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
~Carl Sagan, pg. 124
