“But growing to be a man and having his full strength and using that strength, travelling away from Alger and seeing all the countries in the world, all the cities, all the seas, and new things and new people, and other men and other women's and living and loving, and being more powerful than those other men - and getting further than them and further than anyone, not a Rabbin in a Temple, but he himself - he - Julius Lévy - was not that beautiful too?”

“Ambition! A simple word, yet so many multi-prognostics! At the outset, it arouses an array of positive emotions; zeal, success, energy, rise, achievement, forward, bright, shining, higher, respect etc. But there is another side too; defeat, listless, failure, slump, disgrace…and such.”

“Raven wondered how many enduring misapprehensions in medicine (and other fields, for that matter) were down to ambition and the desire to be vindicated. How many proud men had only sought out the evidence in support of their own hypotheses and eschewed that which might inconveniently put their ideas to the test?
The world needed fewer such proud men, or perhaps it merely required more women like Sarah. An increase in the latter would guarantee a reduction in the former.”

“Surround yourself with people who add sparkle to your dreary days, who turn ordinary moments into fits of laughter, and who bring joy just by being there. Life's too short to spend with dull companions who drain the happiness from every room. So, gather your tribe of joy builders—the ones who lift you up, cheer you on, and remind you that life's an adventure to be enjoyed with a smile and a skip in your step.”

“Anne's Will by Stewart Stafford
Young Shakespeare set off to London town,
To quill and ink his masterpiece plays,
Still, Anne Hathaway grew anxious;
Marriage and family rent twain ways.
He vowed to send back funds to them,
With a fledgling kiss, Will was gone,
Tearful goodbyes of wife and daughters,
Stratford shrank, cartwheels spun.
The distance honeyed homesickness,
The farther from hearth Will roamed,
The capital's theatres awaited him;
Words etched in stone in folio tome.
The absentee bard kept his word true;
Admirably providing for kin well,
Through a bitter, lonely aftertaste,
With only one truism to tell:
"For, aye, where'er there was a Will,
Truly, good Anne always hath a way."

“The naive ambition when unexpressed,
is like a confession regressed,
of a Failure in 'Failure Thwarting'
awaiting success to come out of waiting,
until, the proactive responses are Blessed!”

“Brain, Heart and Empty Pocket
(Hopeless Sonnet)
Hope is rather important to me, so much so,
I even named a title Esperanza Impossible.
But my hope is not that of wishful inaction,
my hope is a furnace of valiance untamable.
It's more important to be the hope and help,
than have the hope that help is on the way.
No one is too helpless to lift themselves,
all you need is a purpose to define your way.
If this son of a factory worker could conquer
the world with brain, heart and empty pocket,
why do you succumb to fictitious despair,
the greatest hopes are always hopeless!
Rise, revolt and be the hope,
take no defeat as your destiny.
Till your world bathes in your light,
be the hopeless warrior of incorruptibility.”
― The Divine Refugee
