“Against our will, our souls are cut off from truth.” Truth, yes, and justice, self-control, kindness … Important to keep this in mind. It will make you more patient with other people.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“good luck and please do read those books, watch The Office, and believe in the people who disagree with you…Lying is a disgusting habit, and it flows through the conversations here like it’s our own currency. The cultural disease here is what we should be curing before we try to tackle obesity…I mean no ill will towards you, since you believe in what I was doing and hoped I would succeed at Theranos. I feel like I owe you this bad attempt at an exit interview since we have no HR to officially record it.”
― John Carreyrou, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

“It is not things that trouble us, but our judgements about things.”
― Epictetus, Enchiridion

“3. Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it’s unendurable … then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature. 4.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
