“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“We are all convention; convention carries us away, and we neglect the substance of things. . . . We dare not call our parts by their right names, but are not afraid to use them for every sort of debauchery.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“ “He who desires nothing, hopes for nothing, and is afraid of nothing, cannot be an artist.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“All human societies contain inventive people. It’s just that some environments provide more starting materials, and more favorable conditions for utilizing inventions, than do other environments.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
