আমার কিছু বর্তমান প্রিয় কোটস, যেগুলা আই উড লাইক টু রিমেম্বার...


1. Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves. 
― Milan Kundera

2. Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.  
― Maya Angelou

3. If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is. 
― Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

4. What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
― Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now

5. Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
