More From Steven Pressfield

The dividing line [between friends and acquaintances] is communication, i think. a friend is someone to whom you can say any jackass thing that enters your mind. with acquaintances, you are forever aware of their slightly unreal image of you, and to keep them content, you edit yourself to fit. many marriages are between acquaintances. you can be with a person for three hours of your life and have a friend. another will remain an acquaintance for thirty years.
Communication Thinking Years
No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.
Love Degrees Pairs
Sooner or later, the ones who told you that this isn't the way it's done, the ones who found time to sneer, they will find someone else to hassle. sooner or later, they stop pointing out how much hubris you've got, how you're not entitled to make a new thing, how you will certainly come to regret your choices. sooner or later, your work speaks for itself. outlasting the critics feels like it will take a very long time, but you're more patient than they are.
Regret Long Choices
We face up to awful things because we can't go around them, or forget them. the sooner you get it over with, the sooner you say 'yes, it happened, and there's nothing i can do about it,' the sooner you can get on with your own life. you've got children to bring up. so you've got to get over it. what we have to get over, somehow we do. even the worst things.

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.
