Atul Gawande
“Being mortal is about the struggle to cope with the constraints of our biology, with the limits set by genes and cells and flesh and bone. Medical science has given us remarkable power to push against these limits, and the potential value of this power was a central reason I became a doctor. But again and again, I have seen the damage we in medicine do when we fail to acknowledge that such power is finite and always will be. We’ve been wrong about what our job is in medicine. We think our job is to ensure health and survival. But really it is larger than that. It is to enable well-being. And well-being is about the reasons one wishes to be alive. Those reasons matter not just at the end of life, or when debility comes, but all along the way. Whenever serious sickness or injury strikes and your body or mind breaks down, the vital questions are the same: What is your understanding of the situation and its potential outcomes? What are your fears and what are your hopes? What are the trade-offs you are willing to make and not willing to make? And what is the course of action that best serves this understanding?”
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

John Ortberg
“Your Mission starts where you are,
Not where you think you should be.
Sometimes we're tempted to think that our current position/job/situation is a barrier to our mission, but, in fact, it is where it starts.”
John Ortberg, When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box

Henry Rollins
“Girls aren't beautiful, they're pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.”
Henry Rollins, Smile, You're Traveling

Atul Gawande
“You may not control life's circumstances, but getting to be the author of your life means getting to control what you do with them.”
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

Sam Harris
“You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You are the storm.”
Sam Harris, Free Will
