The repository contains two quotes from William Faulkner.
Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
One of the saddest things is that the thing a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can’t eat for eight hours a day, nor drink for eight hours a day, nor make love for eight hours a day. All you can do for eight hours is work.
