Two about a pair of warring forces – in me and my life, at least – referred to here as enthusiasm and discouragement:
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
― Winston Churchill
"You can measure a man by the opposition it takes to discourage him."
― Robert C. Savage
And another one about poets:
“Poets do not 'fit' into society, not because a place is denied them but because they do not take their 'places' seriously. They openly see its roles as theatrical, its styles as poses, its clothing costumes, its rules conventional, its crises arranged, its conflicts performed and its metaphysics ideological.”
― James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility
