“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.30 Motivational Quotes from Atomic Habits by James Clear”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.”
Which Was the Dream • Mark Twain“I had already experienced plenty of loneliness. Now I sensed that even deeper loneliness existed, and that it was inescapable.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer
