“The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear““Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“ “It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another.””
1984 • George Orwell“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat
