“There are essentially two questions in life - a spiritual question and a material question. The spiritual question is 'Who am I?' The material question is 'What am I to do with my life?' One leads to the other.”
― Rasheed Ogunlaru

I'm a bit of a writer so quotes that pertain to my passion excite me.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” ― Ernest Hemingway

I'm not surprised he felt and wrote like that as E.H. committed suicide, and so did his father, and two siblings...

I didn't want to say it, but knowing a little about his background and life gave me an idea of why the author wrote the things he did.

I know he was a little bit manic, and most writers/artists/creatives are, but I love his writings.

Are you people still quoting or just discussing things now?

I'm not quoting; I'm asking a question now.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh
