"I don’t know why this book calls to me so. The reviews make it seem like the best book of all time. Idk why I’m starting a 1,200 non fiction book when it takes me forever to read a 400 page book lol. Oh well excited to see what the fuss is all about." Jun 08, 2026 11:12PM

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“When I look back at the past and think of all the time I squandered in error and idleness, lacking the knowledge I needed to live; when I think of how I sinned against my heart and my soul, then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness … Every minute could have been an eternity of happiness! If youth only knew. Now my life will change, now I will be reborn.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Friedrich Nietzsche
“I know of no better life purpose than to perish attempting the great and impossible. The fact that something seems impossible should not be a reason to not pursue it. That’s exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Where would the courage and greatness be if success was certain and there was no risk. The only true failure is shrinking away from life’s challenges.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Albert Camus
“My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,
Albert Camus”

I like this because only one part is usually quoted but the full quote has such symmetry.”
Albert Camus

Akira Toriyama
“Move well, study well, play well, eat well, rest well - That is the turtle master way!”
Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball, Vol. 1

Carlo Rovelli
“Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and beauty of the world. And it’s breathtaking.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
