“Doing nothing would allow us to take a decisive step back, stand still, and have a good look at ourselves. Thanks to our stillness and detachment, we would be able to see our condition in a more truthful light.”
Costică Brădățan, In Praise of Failure: Four Lessons in Humility

“The self we eventually weave is not just the sum total of what we have done, but also of a long series of absences: all that we’ve longed for but never got, the
love that was not reciprocated, the unkept promises, the missed opportunities, the unfulfilled desires, all that we have only imagined or fantasized about, or have not even dared to dream.”
