“It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it—not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone. But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“No matter how much you keep encouraging someone who is blindfolded to stare through the cloth, he still won't see a thing.".”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw“"The environment has to be balanced against the economy." This quote portrays environmental concerns as a luxury, views measures to solve environmental problems as incurring a net cost, and considers leaving environmental problems unsolved to be a money-saving device. This one-liner puts the truth exactly backwards. Environmental messes cost us huge sums of money both in the short run and in the long run; cleaning up or preventing those messes saves us huge sums in the long run, and often in the short run as well. In caring for the health of our surroundings, just as of our bodies, it is cheaper and preferable to avoid getting sick than to try to cure illnesses after they have developed.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
