Jed Rubenfeld
“There is no mystery to happiness. Unhappy men are all alike. Some wound they suffered long ago, some wish denied, some blow to pride, some kindling spark of love put out by scorn - or worse, indifference - cleaves to them, or they to it, and so they live each day within a shroud of yesterdays.

The happy man does not look back. he doesn’t look ahead. he lives in the present. but there’s the rub. The present can never deliver one thing: meaning. The ways of happiness and meaning are not the same. to find happiness, a man need only live in the moment; he need only live for the moment.

But if he wants meaning - the meaning of his dreams, his secrets, his life - a man must reinhabit his past, however uncertain.

Thus nature dangles happiness and meaning before us all, insisting only that we choose between them.

What have you chosen: happiness or meaning?

'The interpretation of murder”
Jed Rubenfeld.

Shashi Tharoor
“There is not a thing as the wrong place, or the wrong time. We are where we are at the only time we have. Perhaps it's where we're meant to be.”
Shashi Tharoor, Riot

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates

Blaise Pascal
“At the far end of this infinite distance a coin is being spun which will come down heads or tails. How will you wager? Reason cannot make you choose either, reason cannot prove either wrong.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

James Joyce
“When a man is born...there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
