“The compensation of growing old ... was simply this; that the passion remains as strong as ever, but one has gained -- at last! -- the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence -- the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Certainty is the enemy of growth.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“How very paltry and limited the normal human intellect is, and how little lucidity there is in the human consciousness, may be judged from the fact that, despite the ephemeral brevity of human life, the uncertainty of our existence and the countless enigmas which press upon us from all sides, everyone does not continually and ceaselessly philosophize, but that only the rarest of exceptions do.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own. ”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
