I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us‐don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
People don't want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think. But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty. So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue ‐ a highly intellectual virtue ‐ out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt… They envy achievement, and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become their acknowledged inferiors. They don't know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement would not be able to bear.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficult… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
Theodore Roosevelt
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.
