“Wherever you are, at any moment, try and find something beautiful. A face, a line out of a poem, the clouds out of a window, some graffiti, a wind farm. Beauty cleans the mind.”
― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“#الانتظار هو حالة ذهنية تعني بالأساس أنك تريد المستقبل: إنك لا تريد الحاضر. إنك لا تريد ما حصلت عليه، ولكنك تريد ما لم تحصل عليه. مع كل أشكال الانتظار، فإنك تخلق صراعاً دائماً بين ((هنا، الآن))، عندما لا تريد أن تكون هنا، وإنما تريد أن تكون في المستقبل. فإن هذا يقلل من نوعية وأهلية حياتك ويجعلك تخسر الحاضر.”
