We might ask ourselves, what tools do we have? What can we count on? You can count on yourself. Believe me, your self is your best ally. You know who you are, even when sometimes it becomes a little blurry and you make mistakes or seem to be veering off, just go deeper. You know who you are. You know the right thing to do. And when you make a mistake, it's alright--just as the song goes, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start all over again.
--Patti Smith (commencement speech Pratt Institute May 2010)
