“First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.” - Octavia E. Butler | #motivation #inspiration

What name you own
What mean you throw
What mirror you hate
What next, if not justice
