“As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.”

The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.”

Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel,
Consuming myself.”
