“Good habits can make rational sense, but if they conflict with your identity, you will fail to put them into action.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear““If a task isn’t worth being done properly, then it’s not worth doing at all.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature -- is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Give of what you have to strangers and to those who have need: for he who gives not to him who wants, will not receive himself when he wants.”
Fragment • Epictetus“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.””
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer
