“One of the best protections against disappointment is to have a lot going on.”

“The most attractive are not those who allow us to kiss them at once [we soon feel ungrateful] or those who never allow us to kiss them [we soon forget them], but those who coyly lead us between the two extremes.”
Alain de Botton, On Love

“Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us.”

“As adults, we try to develop the character traits that would have rescued our parents.”
Alain de Botton

George Soros
“On the abstract level, I have turned the belief in my own fallibility into the cornerstone of an elaborate philosophy. On a personal level, I am a very critical person who looks for defects in myself as well as in others. But, being so critical, I am also quite forgiving. I couldn't recognize my mistakes if I couldn't forgive myself. To others, being wrong is a source of shame; to me, recognizing my mistakes is a source of pride. Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.”
George Soros, Soros on Soros: Staying Ahead of the Curve
