Book cover for Future Perfect: A Skeptic’s Search for an Honest Mystic
The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness. —Anaïs Nin, June 1942

“Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps.”
Ann Patchett

Charles Dickens
“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”
Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

Haruki Murakami
“Swimming feels wonderful—almost as good as flying through the air,” Tsukuru explained to Sara one time. “Have you ever flown through the air?” she asked. “Not yet,” Tsukuru said.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Sam Harris
“We must continually remind ourselves that there is a difference between what is natural and what is actually good for us.”
Sam Harris, The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values
