#quotes #t-s-eliot #education

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. ~Norman Vincent Peale

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious.
