Henry Miller
“I know what the great cure is: to give up, to relinquish, to surrender, so that our little hearts may beat in unison with the great heart of the world.”
Henry Miller

Jacob Bronowski
“We treat ourselves both as objects of language and as speakers of language, both as objects of the symbolism and as symbols in it. And all the difficult paradoxes which go right back to Greek times and reappear in modern mathematics depend essentially on this.”
Jacob Bronowski, The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination

Jacob Bronowski
“The new theory, of course, always subsumes more effects than the old. But the remarkable thing is that when it is discovered, it also wholly changes our conception of how the world works.”
Jacob Bronowski, The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination

Chris Voss
“In one brain imaging study, psychology professor Matthew Lieberman of the University of California, Los Angeles, found that when people are shown photos of faces expressing strong emotion, the brain shows greater activity in the amygdala, the part that generates fear. But when they are asked to label the emotion, the activity moves to the areas that govern rational thinking. In other words, labeling an emotion—applying rational words to a fear—disrupts its raw intensity.”
Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It

Richard Ayoade
“Fury is something you need, and if someone tells you otherwise, try screaming at them. They’ll often go quiet and start to cry. That’s when you know you’ve won.”
Richard Ayoade, Ayoade on Top
