Here is a nice little animation replicating a hovering piece of torn paper from a ruled notebook with a text quote on it. This can work well on academic-related sites. Some of the words are concerned out and some are faded out.
Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.
Jack Canfield
