“This paralysis of the mind and will of grown-up men, raised as Christians, supposedly disciplined in the old virtues, boasting of their code of honor, courageous in the face of death on the battlefield, is astonishing, though perhaps it can be grasped if one remembers the course of German history, outlined in an earlier chapter, which made blind obedience to temporal rulers the highest virtue of Germanic man and put a premium on servility.”

“What is it that inspires you? What do you love to do? What would you do for free? At the beginning of my busi-ness career, my why was to become a millionaire, not a good why! And why not?

“Biết bao ngày lao động, biết bao đêm không ngủ, biết bao nhiêu nỗ lực trí tuệ, biết bao niềm hy vọng và nỗi lo sợ, biết bao cuộc đời đằng đẵng chuyên tâm nghiên cứu đã được đúc lại ở đây thành những bộ chữ in nhỏ bé và được xếp chặt khít trong khoảng không gian chật hẹp của các giá sách quanh chúng ta”
― Adam Smith

“When blame and self-judgement are transformed, healed, and cease to be, we have reawakened without the myth, the mythos, of separation. We are One.”
