“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy“Plain as the nose on a man's face.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““I see that you are indifferent about money, which is a characteristic rather of those who have inherited their fortunes than of those who have acquired them; the makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit which is common to them and all men. And hence they are very bad company, for they can talk about nothing but the praises of wealth.””
Republic • Plato“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
