“كلّما ازداد الإنسان غباوة .. ازداد يقيناً بأنه أفضل من غيره في كل شيء .”
― علي الوردي, مهزلة العقل البشري

“إن الذي لا يفارق بيئته التي نشأ فيها ولا يقرأ غير الكتب التي تدعم معتقداته الموروثة, فلا ننتظر منه أن يكون محايداً في الحكم على الأمور.”
― علي الوردي, مهزلة العقل البشري

“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

“Habits are powerful, but delicate. They can emerge outside our consciousness, or can be deliberately designed. They often occur without our permission, but can be reshaped by fiddling with their parts. They shape our lives far more than we realize—they are so strong, in fact, that they cause our brains to cling to them at the exclusion of all else, including common sense.”
― Charles Duhigg, The Power Of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life And Business
