“If everyone in the world to make public his own personal problems, with the aim of swapping them for those of his fellow-men, just a single glance at the miseries of his neighbours would see him gladly take back with him the ones that he had brought.”

“In every man's memory there are things he won't reveal to others, except, perhaps, to his friends. And there are things he won't reveal even to friends, only, perhaps, to himself, and there, too, in secret. And finally, there are things he is afraid to reveal even to himself, and every decent man has quite an accumulation of them. In fact, the more decent the man, the more of them he has stored up.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground

“People pay an enormous price to avoid mild embarrassment”
― Amos Tversky

“Reality is a cloud of possibility, not a point.”
― Michael Lewis, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
