The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice.

On Prioritizing Travel
I’m sorry you were not truly loved and that it made you cruel.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not ; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Israel Regardie (via buildings-on-fire)
