“Aslında kötü bir alışkanlıktır okumak, öteki bütün kötü alışkanlıkların yerini tutabilecek ya da onların yerine herkesi daha bir yoğun biçimde yaşamaya itebilecek bir alışkanlıktır, delicesine bir yaşam biçimidir, insanı yiyip bitiren bir tutkudur.

“So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: “Is this person in between me and what I want to do?” If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you.”
― Tina Fey, Bossypants

“Structural dissatisfaction: Returning to circumstances that once pleased you, after having experienced a more thrilling or opulent way of life, and finding that you can no longer tolerate them.”
