modest 398,851 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in.

When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. -Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) Turtle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
