" Who are the scholars who get ‘rattled’ in the recitation room?” asked William James. “Those who think of the possibilities of failure and feel the great importance of the act. Who are those who do recite well? Often those who are most indifferent. Their ideas reel themselves out of their memories of their own accord. "

― Maxwell Maltz , Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life
