Junot Díaz
“You ask everybody you know: How long does it usually take to get over it?

There are many formulas. One year for every year you dated. Two years for every year you dated. It's just a matter of will power: The day you decide it's over, it's over. You never get over it.”
Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her

“This is what I know: people's hopes go on forever.”

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

“The irony of the process of thought control: the more energy you put into trying to control your ideas and what you think about, the more your ideas end up controlling you.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Adam Smith
“The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.”
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
