“When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways -- I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.”
― Socrates, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“For the fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretense of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is not this ignorance of a disgraceful sort, the ignorance which is the conceit that a man knows what he does not know? And in this respect only I believe myself to differ from men in general, and may perhaps claim to be wiser than they are:—that whereas I know but little of the world below, I do not suppose that I know: but I do know that injustice and disobedience to a better, whether God or man, is evil and dishonorable, and I will never fear or avoid a possible good rather than a certain evil.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“It has to do with curiosity, it has to do with people wondering what makes something do something? And then to discover that if you try to get answers that they're related to each other... What we're looking for is how everything works and how everything is what makes everything work. But it's curiosity as to where we are, what we are”
― Richard Feynman, Le cours de physique de Feynman/ABANDON
