Oliver Burkeman
“Rendering yourself more efficient — either by implementing various productivity techniques or by driving yourself harder—won’t generally result in the feeling of having ‘enough time,’ because, all else being equal, the demands will increase to offset any benefits. Far from getting things done, you’ll be creating new things to do.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Oliver Burkeman
“There is an alternative: the unfashionable but powerful notion of letting time use you, approaching life not as an opportunity to implement your predetermined plans for success but as a matter of responding to the needs of your place and your moment in history.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Nathan  Hill
“And the only thing she was certain of was this: that between ourselves and the world are a million stories, and if we don’t know which among them are true, we might as well try out those that are most humane, most generous, most beautiful, most loving.”
Nathan Hill, Wellness

Emily St. John Mandel
“This is the strange lesson of living in a pandemic: life can be tranquil in the face of death.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

Nathan  Hill
“She finally comprehended parenthood’s strange paradox: that it was deeply annihilating while at the same time also somehow deeply comforting. It was both soul-devouring and soul-filling.”
Nathan Hill, Wellness
