Marcus Aurelius
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Miyamoto Musashi
“You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain”
Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy

Sylvia Plath
“The Night Dances       A smile fell in the grass. Irretrievable!   And how will your night dances Lose themselves. In mathematics?   Such pure leaps and spirals—— Surely they travel   The world forever, I shall not entirely Sit emptied of beauties, the gift   Of your small breath, the drenched grass Smell of your sleeps, lilies, lilies.   Their flesh bears no relation. Cold folds of ego, the calla,   And the tiger, embellishing itself——”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel

Miyamoto Musashi
“The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them”
Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy

Miyamoto Musashi
“there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
