Certainly, quotations are always inspiring to me:

I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike -- and I don't think there really is a distinction between the two -- are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats.

These are two of my favorites.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

"We have never made an effort to understand what is greatness in men and how to recognize  it.  We have come to hold, in a kind of mawkish stupor, that greatness is to be gauged by self-sacrifice.  Self-sacrifice, we drool, is the ultimate virtue.  Let's stop and think for a moment.  Is sacrifice a virtue?  Can a man sacrifice his integrity?  His honor?  His freedom?  His ideal?  His conviction?   The honesty of his feelings?  The independence of his thought?  But these are a man's supreme possessions.  Anything he gives up for them is not a sacrifice but an easy bargain.  They, however, are above sacrifice to any cause or consideration whatsoever.  Should we not, then, stop preaching dangerous and vicious nonsense?  Self sacrifice?  But it is precisely the self that cannot and must not be sacrificed  It is the unsacrified self that we must respect in man above all."
