• If you keep thinking about putting on a conference or being a Hollywood screenwriter, and you find the idea terrifies but intrigues you, it's probably a worthy endeavor for you. You grow (and thrive!) by doing what excites you and what scares you everyday, not by trying to find your passion.

• When the Sun sets, shadows, that shew'd at Noon
  But small, appear most long and terrible;
  So, when we think Fate hovers o'er our Heads,
  Our apprehensions shoot beyond all bounds,
  Owls, Ravens, Crickets seem the watch of death,
  Nature's worst Vermine scare her God-like Sons.
  Ecchoes the very leavings of a Voice,
  Grow babling Ghosts, and call us to our Graves:
  Each Mole-hill thought swells to a huge Olympus,
  While we fantastick Dreamers heave and puff,
  And sweat with an Imagination's weight.

• Tonight I walked around the pond scaring frogs; a couple of them jumped off, going, in effect, eek, and most grunted, and the pond was still. But one big frog, bright green like a poster-paint frog, didn't jump, so I waved my arm and stamped to scare it, and it jumped suddenly, and I jumped, and then everything in the pond jumped, and I laughed and laughed.
