“It's not years nor days, but the mind, that determines that we've lived enough.”
― Seneca, How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life

“To wish to be well is a part of becoming well.”
― Seneca

“We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.

The heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the cubits warp
For fear to be a king.”
― Emily Dickinson

“To dehumanize another human being is not merely to declare that someone is not human, and it does not happen by accident. It is a process, a programming. It takes energy and reinforcement to deny what is self-evident in another member of one's own species.”
― Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
