“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Chess ... a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time.”
The Irrational Knot • George Bernard Shaw“In fact, one of the main lesson to be learned from the collapses of the Maya, Anasazi, Easter Islanders, and those other past societies (as well as from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union) is that a society's steep decline may begin only a decade or two after the society reaches its peak numbers, wealth, and power. [...] The reason is simple: maximum population, wealth, resource consumption, and waste production mean maximum environmental impact, approaching the limit where impact outstrips resources. On reflection, it's no surprise that declines of societies tend to follow swiftly on their peaks.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you got two new people. Maybe that means — hell, it's complicated.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck
