“The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Those who come a hundred or two hundred years after us will despise us for having lived our lives so stupidly and tastelessly. Perhaps they’ll find a means to be happy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“But of all motives, none is better adapted to secure influence and hold it fast than love; nothing is more foreign to that end than fear.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
