“Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain. suffering and futility. Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war. and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses causal relationships that cannot be separated.”

“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

“It’s a paradox: Life is beautiful, dying less so, yet it’s death that makes life more beautiful, or at least special.”

“The phenomenon of burnout has given rise to a multimillion-dollar industry of self-help to counter its negative effects. Vinkers takes a more skeptical view and believes that simple life lessons like “Spend more time doing nothing” are not very effective. He and the philosopher Jeroen de Ridder wrote that “[self-help] tips, however well-intentioned, are useless: You wouldn’t tell a soldier suffering from PTSD to eat more healthily or a single mother in a poor neighborhood to find a hobby.” We are all different, living different lives, and we have different responses to stressful problems. There is no ready-made solution. That’s why we’re drowning in self-help books.”
