“If you don’t have a vision you’re going to be stuck in what you know. And the only thing you know is what you’ve already seen.

― Iyanla Vanzant

“Don’t just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.”
― Epictetus, The Discourses

“Wisdom is not bestowed. In its raw state, it is the heartbreak of knowing things you wish you didn't.”
