Only one endowed with restless vitality is susceptible to pessimism. You become a pessimist –a demonic, elemental, bestial pessimist –only when life has been defeated many times in its fight against depression. – E. M. Cioran
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose — a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. – Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein, 1818
We also own a little boat and Im like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day. – Perry Como
