Morgan Housel
“The End of History Illusion is what psychologists call the tendency for people to be keenly aware of how much they’ve changed in the past, but to underestimate how much their personalities, desires, and goals are likely to change in the future.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

Matt Haig
“Never underestimate the big importance of small things”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Henry David Thoreau
“Das Wahlergebnis ist daher nie mehr als eine Zweckmäßigkeit.
Selbst für das Rechte zu stimmen bedeutet nichts dafür zu tun.
Es zeigt anderen Gegenüber nur den schwachen Wunsch, dass es vorherrschen möge.

Ein weiser Mann wird das Rechte nicht der Gnade des Zufalls überlassen. Noch wird er wünschen, dass es sich durch die Kraft der Mehrheit durchsetzt.
Es ist nur wenig Tugend in der Handlung der Vielen.
[...] Nur dessen Stimme kann die Abschaffung der Sklaverei beschleunigen, der seine eigene Freiheit dafür auf’s Spiel setzt.”
Henry David Thoreau, Über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat

Oliver Burkeman
“It’s alarming to face the prospect that you might never truly feel as though you know what you’re doing, in work, marriage, parenting, or anything else. But it’s liberating, too, because it removes a central reason for feeling self-conscious or inhibited about your performance in those domains in the present moment: if the feeling of total authority is never going to arrive, you might as well not wait any longer to give such activities your all—to put bold plans into practice, to stop erring on the side of caution. It is even more liberating to reflect that everyone else is in the same boat, whether they’re aware of it or not.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Oliver Burkeman
“how normal it has become to feel as though you absolutely must do more than you can do.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
