“No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.”
Marilyn Ferguson

Dalai Lama XIV
“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
Dalai Lama

Benjamin Franklin
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.”
Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

Jane McGonigal
“A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we’re good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression.”
Jane McGonigal, Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World
