“Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“All the human and animal manure which the world wastes, if returned to the land, instead of being thrown into the sea, would suffice to nourish the world.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred man than agriculture.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
