thinking matter way
No matter what I've written, someone somewhere has come up to me and said, "Me too." The truth can be offensive, but it's always nourishing, in a way. You recognize it. You can feel it.

Augusten Burroughs

If you just hang out at the gym and train for five or six hours a day without a goal is almost impossible. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger
thinking pyramids littles
