William Blake
“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

James Clear
“The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it. If you’re proud of how your hair looks, you’ll develop all sorts of habits to care for and maintain it.

James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

Milan Kundera
“for there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.”

James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

Alain de Botton
“Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us.”
Alain de Botton
