I read a quote this morning, and it was something to the effect of any great piece of work that the world has seen, came as a result of huge amounts of effort in isolation for long periods of time. And here was the great part of the quote, in estrangement from society. Because when you live like this, when you get up early, when you go the extra mile, when you have painstaking attention to detail, when you love to learn, study and grow… Remember LSG, learning, studying, and growing, in this world where most people are… They would rather spend time in entertainment than education. They would rather spend in leisure than learning. When you live like this, when you devote yourself to your craft, when there’s a sparkle in your eye to change the world and live your heroic potential, you’ll be called a freak, an oddball, a misfit. But just remember this, and I say this with great love and respect. If people do understand you, you’re not playing at your personal genius.
