Dinner for Schmucks, Barry Speck

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Unless you don’t have any water or sugar. And then you just eat the lemons, and the rind will give you diarrhea. … Vincent Van Gogh. Everyone said to him, “You can’t be a great painter, you only have one ear.” And you know what he said? “I can’t hear you.” … So dare to dream. Dream your wildest dreams. You can climb the highest mountain. You can drown in a teacup, if you find a big enough teacup. And if somebody tells you that you can’t do something, you say, ‘Yes, I can. ‘Cause I’m doing it right now!’
