And a reminder to myself

Found this while doing some LJ archeology:

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back
and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.

"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."

--Leonardo DaVinci
