“The reproach of a father is agreeable medicine, for it contains more that is useful than it contains of that which gives pain.”
Fragment • Epictetus“To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney““One of the very worst uses of time is to do something very well that need not to be done at all.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy“Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“Compare that to a fruit shop adorned with pleasant, lush colors that smell like pomegranate. Compare apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, grapes and melons, and the vivid colors of various vegetables to the butcher shop, the hanging heart and intestines, the severed corpses, the split bellies, the broken legs that hang, and drop blood dripping from it.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat
