Moby Dick • Herman Melville““Habit is the intersection of knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do), and desire (want to do).””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“The creation of freedom for oneself and a sacred "No" even to duty -- for that, my brothers, the lion is needed.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche““When you stay too long in a place, you forget just how big an expanse the world is. You get no sense of the length of those longitudes and latitudes. Just as […] it is hard to have a sense of the vastness inside any one person.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“Variant translation: Your question, Mr. Examining Magistrate, as to whether I am a house-painter — although you did not ask a question at all, you made a statement — typifies exactly the kind of proceedings that are being instituted against me.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka
