“But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde““For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many. The truth is, Socrates, that these regrets, and also the complaints about relations, are to be attributed to the same cause, which is not old age, but men’s characters and tempers; for he who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.””
Republic • Plato“You don’t have to be the victim of your environment. You can also be the architect of it.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavory as gross sensuality.”
Marriage as a Psychological Relationship • Carl Gustav Jung
