Viktor E. Frankl
“Mankind was apparently doomed to vacillate between the two extremities of distress and boredom." ~Schopenhauer. In actual fact, boredom is now causing more problems to solve that distress. And these problems are growing increasingly crucial, for progressive automation will probably lead to an enormous increase in the leisure hours available to the average worker. The pity of it is that many of these will not know what to do with all their newly acquired free time.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“From all this we may learn that there are two races of men in this world, but only these two — the “race” of the decent man and the “race” of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.”
Victor Frankel

Carol S. Dweck
“And later, much to the disappointment of his wives, his consuming love remained self-improvement and invention, but only in his field.”
Carol S. Dweck, Mindset
