Quotes:
- “When nothing seems to help, I go look at the stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” - Jacob Riis.
- “Just because it’s not working immediately, doesn’t mean it’s not working.”
