“One who daily puts the finishing touches on his life is never in want of time.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca““He had cast out of heaven his dim star; it had fallen, and its track was lost in the darkness of night. It would never return to the sky again, because life was given only once and never came a second time. If he could have turned back the days and years of the past, he would have replaced the falsity with truth, the idleness with work, the boredom with happiness; he would have given back purity to those whom he had robbed of it. He would have found God and goodness, but that was as impossible as to put back the fallen star into the sky, and because it was impossible he was in despair.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a man together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“(…) Self-improvement is really about prioritizing better values, choosing better things to give a fuck about.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“Drag your thoughts away from your troubles — by the ears, by the heels, or any other way, so you manage it.”
The American Claimant • Mark Twain
