“Rhino-mounted Bantu shock troops could have overthrown the Roman Empire. It never happened.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Don't aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run — in the long run, I say — success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“One who daily puts the finishing touches on his life is never in want of time.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“A light here required a shadow there.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Death hangs over thee: whilst yet thou livest, whilst thou mayest, be good.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
