Shashi Tharoor
“There is not a thing as the wrong place, or the wrong time. We are where we are at the only time we have. Perhaps it's where we're meant to be.”
Shashi Tharoor, Riot

Friedrich Nietzsche
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“The curse of modernity is that we are increasingly populated by a class of people who are better at explaining than understanding, or better at explaining than doing.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

Terry Pratchett
“Humans! They lived in a world where the grass continued to be green and the sun rose every day and flowers regularly turned into fruit, and what impressed them? Weeping statues. And wine made out of water! A mere quantum-mechanistic tunnel effect, that'd happen anyway if you were prepared to wait zillions of years. As if the turning of sunlight into wine, by means of vines and grapes and time and enzymes, wasn't a thousand times more impressive and happened all the time...”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Adam Kay
“a great doctor must have a huge heart and a distended aorta through which pumps a vast lake of compassion and human kindness.”
Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor
