"The moment you wonder whether or not you can do it, you can't."
"Humility is throwing oneself away in complete concentration on something or someone else."
"The deeper and richer a personality is, the more full it is of paradox and contradiction. It's only a shallow character who offers us no problems of contrast."
From "A Circle of Quiet" by Madeleine L'Engle
wanting to do things without "wondering"; live my life with humility; and be full of contradiction (not hypocritical...they are different)

take a peek at her commentary if you like. and hey- if i can get like 5 friends to read a book at once, i can get a good cliff notes version and thereby "read" more books and much faster :)
