"Dostoevski was on to something. You are the path you choose. You are what your vocation is."
"A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself.

Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person."

"You can't possibly know that you're going to be a writer!" Miss Frost said. "It's not a career choice."
"The answer is neither job, nor paycheck; it is authentic, holistic work born from states of awareness and being. Through the coalescence of joy, wonder, enthusiasm, appreciation, experimentation, perpetual curiosity, exploring new avenues, welcoming surprise and wandering, I have begun the next leg of my journey; I have brought the spirit of the traveler home."
"A true writer is someone the gods have called to the task."
"No man engaged in a work he does not like can preserve many saving illusionsabout himself. The distaste, the absence of glamour, extend from the occupation to the personality. It is only when ourappointed activities seem by a lucky accident to obey the particular earnestness of our temperament that we can taste the comfort of complete self-deception."
