“What you do in this world is a matter of no
consequence,” returned my companion, bitterly.
“The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done. Never mind,”
― Arthur Conan Doyle

“Tolerance is not a Sapiens trademark. In modern times, a small difference in skin colour, dialect or religion has been enough to prompt one group of Sapiens to set about exterminating another group. Would ancient Sapiens have been more tolerant towards an entirely different human species?”
― Yuval Noah Harari, קיצור תולדות האנושות

“But Taoism must on no account be understood as a revolution
against convention, although it has sometimes been used as a
pretext for revolution. Taoism is a way of liberation, which never
comes by means of revolution, since it is notorious that most
revolutions establish worse tyrannies than they destroy. To be free
from convention is not to spurn it but not to be deceived by it. It is
to be able to use it as an instrument instead of being used by it.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

“If I die tomorrow, as is likely enough,
I die knowing that my work in this world is done,
and well done.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle
