"Most novices picture themselves as masters - and are content with the picture. This is why there are so few masters."

It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.

— Oscar Wilde
