    Lao Tzu
    “He who knows other men is discerning;
    he who knows himself is intelligent.

    He who overcomes others is strong;
    he who overcomes himself is mighty.

    He who works hard gets wealth;
    he who knows when he has enough is truly rich.

    He who does not fail in the requirements of his position continues long;
    he who dies yet is not forgotten has longevity.”
    ― Laozi

    Simone de Beauvoir
    “I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”

    Albert O. Hirschman
    “Creativity always comes a surprise to us; therefore we can never count on it and we dare not believe in it until it has happened. In other words, we would not consciously engage upon tasks whose success clearly requires that creativity be forthcoming. Hence, the only way in which we can bring our creative resources fully into play is by misjudging the nature of the task, by presenting it to ourselves as more routine, simple, undemanding of genuine creativity that it will turn out to be”
