"Ambition is greed without makeup."
"Stay with your passion but have a philosophy that is beyond your strength so that you can have a legacy, even a legacy that will outlast you."
"There's two ways to become a famous Poet, find that one person that knows somebody, that knows somebody, that knows somebody. Or die trying."
"Status: the perpetual carrot that entices us from the front and prods us in the back."
"It is the possibility of the dream, which quickens my spirit to take action."
