Book cover for Wanting: Mimetic Desire: How to Avoid Chasing Things You Don't Truly Want
Desire is not a function of data. It’s a function of other people’s desires.

Jean Cocteau
“What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.”
Jean Cocteau

“We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”
John W. Gardner

Henry David Thoreau
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

David Foster Wallace
“Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.”
David Foster Wallace

Nelson Mandela
“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
