“When the big things feel out of control

focus on what you love right under your nose”
― Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

“The Rules of Life. The first rule we came up with was: Be here now. It’s a good survival rule. It means to pay attention and keep an up-to-date mental model. The second rule was: Everything takes eight times as long as it’s supposed to. That was the friction rule, which travelers in the wilderness will do well to heed.”
― Laurence Gonzales, Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why

“Survival is the celebration of choosing life over death. We know we're going to die. We all die. But survival is saying: perhaps not today. In that sense, survivors don't defeat death, they come to terms with it.”
― Laurence Gonzales, Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why

“To deal with reality you must first recognize it as such.”
