John Steinbeck
“New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous.
But there is one thing about it - once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.”
John Steinbeck, America and Americans and Selected Nonfiction

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Resentment, born of weakness, harms no one more than the weak person himself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Rational flâneur (or just flâneur): Someone who, unlike a tourist, makes a decision opportunistically at every step to revise his schedule (or his destination) so he can imbibe things based on new information obtained. In research and entrepreneurship, being a flâneur is called “looking for optionality.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder
