Richard P. Feynman
“The first person you should be careful not to fool is yourself. Because you are the easiest person to fool".”
Richard Feynman

Jonathan Haidt
“Neurons that fire together, wire together,’ meaning that activities that repeatedly activate a constellation of neurons cause those neurons to connect more closely, so if a child goes through puberty doing archery, or painting, or video games, or social media. It will cause lasting structural changes in the brain, especially if the activity is rewarding. This is how cultural experience changes the brain, producing a young adult who feels American instead of Japanese, or what is habitually in discover mode as opposed to defend mode.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Caused an Epidemic of Mental Illness

“Tous les hommes désirent uniquement de se délivrer de la mort ; ils ne savent pas se délivrer de la vie.”
Stanislas Julien, Tao Te King (Edition Enrichie): Le livre de la Voie et de la Vertu

Jonathan Haidt
“People don’t get depressed when they face threats collectively; they get depressed when they feel isolated, lonely, or useless.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness

Alan W. Watts
“[T]he chances of survival are best when there is no anxiety to survive, and [...] the greatest power is available to those who do not seek power and who do not use force. To be anxious to survive is to wear oneself out, and to seek power and to use force is to overstrain one's system. One is best preserved by floating along without stress.”
Alan W. Watts, Tao: The Watercourse Way
