Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

Herman Melville
“And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment.”

Andrew Solomon
“The cycle of life runs in actuality from disability to temporary ability back to disability, and that only if you are among the most fortunate.”
Andrew Solomon, Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity

Herman Melville
“But all the things that God would have us do are hard for us to do -- remember that -- and hence, he oftener commands us than endeavors to persuade. And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves; and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.”
Herman Melville
